Since the last critique I have been working on my new idea, which is combining different emotions together into one photo. During my last critique I talked with Emi Gennis and she gave me some good feedback on how to go about this project. I have tried to piece together non stereotypical emotions. I have also tried zooming my camera in and out while I take the photo to show movement, which adds to the image and the emotions that I am trying to show. I also talked about this idea with Rhona McBain during our last Independent Study meeting and she mentioned that I should experiment more with the process that I am piecing the images together. I have tried a couple different ways to piece the images together that I haven't done. Before I would piece the images together in a horizontal way, where this time I tried use more vertical pieces. Which are the three shown below. I also tried to piece the images together by selecting certain parts from one photo using the magic wand tool and then piece it onto another image. This way is different than what I have been doing previously, but it was interesting to try different ways. These are the four photos below. It has been interesting trying the different ways to piece the images together, but I think I am going to go back to the "cubist" style I was working with at the beginning of this semester. I need to work with it a bit more with showing the different emotions, because I am finding it difficult to piece them together and still be able to show the emotions that I am wanting. I think that the more I work with the "cubist" style the better the images will turn out. These last couple photos are a ones that I have also experimented with piecing the images together. I am going to work with them a little more in the future. Artist Post - Gretchen BurnsI am doing my Artist Post over Gretchen Burns. I have talked with her recently about her work and she has narrowed her work down to a couple different ideas and is focusing just on them. Her "hobby" pieces are very detailed and go along with her scientific style of laying everything out. I also really like the butterflies that she has been working on. I agree with what Jamie Oliver said about them, where she should separate them each into their own piece. I think it would be interesting if she framed them in a shadow box and then mounted them onto the matte board with pins. It would almost be like they were real butterflies that she was collecting and pinning in a box.
An artist that I would recommend to Gretchen would be Justin Landon. He does illustrations of various animals. His work is not as scientific as Gretchen's work, but it is an interesting style and a new way to look at illustrations. Here is the link to his website and some images. http://loveobjects.bigcartel.com/
