Theme transformation 

Proposal for outcome: in summer I began to research the theme of transformation. From my initial Ideas research, I began to look at formal elements but mainly considering the form and tone of the pieces which I developed. I decided to focus of these primarily because of the impact it has on the subject, also decided to develop my skills with pen which was lacking considerably. I got inspired by many different artist which use transformation and I worked into my own first hand photos, the same subject considerably looking at the transformation between that and food. I done this by using lighting which was in my household items, I also worked in dim areas around my house I used Items such random Items to create a tiny studio. I took photos to help with me working into the piece. I want to research and develop Ideas from the style of vapeway to give a different out specs than what I have originally been doing I can do this by changing the form of the piece outlining the subject and drawing attention to the form and lineal aspects when contrasted with the background of the piece. When creating these different outcomes I will need to use different software due to how successful one is or not, such as photo manipulation and illustrator for line forms due to the vectors in illustrator. I will be using research from the internet and different museums. The media and the style will change indefinitely throughout the pieces not considering changing. With my outcomes I have experimented with different adjustments such as inverted and brightness/ contrast, levels, curves, exposure, vibrance, hue saturation, colour balance, black and white , photo filter, channel mixer, colour lookup, posturize. I used most of these adjustments to change and alter the original photo adding additional movements such as scorch burn and blend and layering images on top of the images  

 

I went to the Tate modern and bankside gallery located in London, researching and adding influence to my pieces many of the pieces which drew my attention were pieces which look form the formal elements of line and form such as jean Pierre yvaral 1934 2001 showing the contrast and the experimentation with geometrical shapes combining three dimensional shapes and adding, the form of the piece is to confuse the perception of depth. I also looked at a lot of street art featuring the art of Banksy showing how he creates tone with a monotone piece and extended this throughout of his pieces I also looked at detail pieces of art to relate to an extended form and shape to create and accurate piece with perfect tone and form. I directly reference artist such as brea sounders due to the direct influence to my art work, creating pieces which are only consist of form and line. 

Within my photography specialism I have used elements of my photos to affect my piece which have done for graphics so I have thought about a composition which can be affected for both subject, I believe this can be done when favoring one type of formal element such a line, form, colour and texture of the piece this harder than I originally thought due to elements with such consistency are harder to capture. When using these photos I try to alter this by changing the elements which I document on a separate page on my pallet. I have used secondary resources from books to create pieces of my work changing element of the work. 

Health and safety: I have used many different piece of work and I must consider the location and the people which may be affected by my work as this can affect people, I will watch out for people beliefs and their religion. I will try to use my work in fair use when using piece of my work for my final piece I will only use the primary research which I have done myself. 

 

Within my graphic specialism I have used the artist from my research to develop my ideas and creating outcomes after the end of the piece I wish to create one final piece, I will be using different graphical terms and photography terms to improve my annotation of my work when creating these pieces when annotating for graphics I will be pasting photos and screenshots so my photos and annotation on top of the images to create a developments I will be doing this by continuously adding photos every so often by adding the screenshots I can effectively  show my development to create a path of what went right and what went wrong will be taking photos which have been done in my own time to develop on to create an original photo. 

From my initial ideas I observe fruit and food I have compared this to my graphics out comes due to their similarity when it comes to line formal elements these pieces worked out well and compared well when working injunction together, these pieces are were influenced by artists such as Stefan segmen due to their similarities with lineal elements. There was major influence which created a breakthrough for me which consisted of layered animations. These piece developed into moving which was innovative and does relate to many graphics style on the platform. This compared to photography there was a direct transformation on the piece. Working against other photography artist. I will develop from this piece by using the skills which I have learned such as developing on the pen tool and the brush tool, using these injunctions I can create a great piece that works on transforming the piece throughout. The formal element which I can develop on consist of form later on in the piece showing a greater understanding of the project. Thought out my work I have developed the idea of transforming a person using the shape and there form to create a lined outline, my photography was used injection with my graphics using the photos form photography editing and adjusting them in graphics which created an effective comparison in the pieces. Working with graphic software such as Photoshop and illustrator it’s easy to create a piece which Is sustainable. The development which I have received in this project in photography is a greater understanding of a darkroom and the photo gallery to create professional shots working in junction with the skills need to create them such as aperture, iOS and shutter speed. For my next project I will use these techniques developing on and building on them.
