For the past few weeks, we’ve had Visual Arts, we have been learning about “Photomontage”. Photomontage is an art formed by glueing, cutting, enlarging, shrinking, repeating varieties of images in order to make a meaningful artwork. In this topic, the first activity we did was collaging odd images with familiar images, now we did this in real life instead of doing it digitally. I cut the images, stuck it all together to make a confined art. After doing that activity for two weeks, we now made a digital one. We brainstormed ideas for what images we could use, now these ideas are from what represents us such as our favourite things, hobbies, likes, dislikes, etc. We had to make a scrapbook but digitally, the scrapbooks have to be in “Google Drawing”. After making the scrapbook, using ideas from there on our actual collage. I’ve made a total of two.
We are learning this because we need to have a knowledge of art and in this way, we can understand how artists work, how their mind works, where they got their inspiration from. We are learning this because taking this lesson in the near future of what are careers or job is going to be. It’s also for experience and having fun.
Kia Ora Skyler,
ReplyDeleteYou've used fragments and repetition well in this photo-montage. You describe your process well and discuss our artist model Hannah Höch. The three figures are aligned well with background elements and the diagonal placement of the figures is echoed in the brushstroke. Good composition and mahi!
