Art 2019

22/10/19

So after going back to my plan and looking through it. I've come up with, what I think as a better Idea for all three of my art boards. 

All of the panels will have a New Zealand theme to show New Zealand! The first panel will be of New Zealand Landscapes (Plants). The second would be Animals, Sheep, Native birds etc. The last panel would be New Zealand people and culture.

Throughout the panel I would like to include shapes through the center of each panel that would go with the theme New Zealand and with each panel. For example, Maori patterns. 


Friday 27th of September 

Photos i'm going to edit now....a-lot more portrait instead of landscapes that would give more variety on my art board. Lots of water (Ocean) as-well!!



One photo I took in Queenstown.


I would like to, over the holiday, get more photographs of the Mountains and Hills to get a higher up perspective and also a very low, to the ground, perspective as-well. As I already feel i have everything in-between I may need. I already have around 30 pictures. If I could come to the 50 picture mark to put on my board, that would be amazing!
...........................................................................

I want to tell the story of New Zealand landscapes through horizon lines in photography; where the horizon lines on each picture link to each other. From the tallest point to the lowest and everything in between, the seasons, natural disasters, life in New Zealand through my Artwork.

What I would also like to try and do is to get the start of the art folio in the Mountains then as we go down the chain off photos as the days pass the seasons will change and the photos will change through seasons but also through height. The pictures will start from the Mountains and the will end in the ocean with a sunset, just as the 'day' or start of the art board will start with a sunrise over the mountains. This will hopefully not only look good but show the true reality of what New Zealand is. I would like to have enough photos to start editing by the end of term 3.

- I would like to think this chain of photographs like a huge panorama. To do this I may need to get a higher up perspective of the landscapes etc.



02/08/2019 - Here are some pictures that I have taken over the course of the year that i'm going to be editing for my art board next year. They have been taken over the last couple of months outside of school; mostly when I went on holiday to Queenstown in July. I tried to match them together by joining their horizon lines from each picture together to make them seem connected in way that seems everything is linked together and is interconnected; the Earth and New Zealand.

So I plan to find enough photos to make a long enough chain to figure out what my final plan is and what I'm going to do editing wise and what other photos I may need.

Mountains to plains to ocean.

  • Blurriness, foggy lens look to add to the uncertainty of what New Zealand is at the start of the art board; to high sharpness/clarity that signifies the clarity and purity of New Zealand.
  • Colours/tones change with pictures, which could signify the seasons that change through the chain of connected pictures and what New Zealand looks like year round.
  • Sunrise/sunsets at the start and end of the art board like years have passed through these photos, but when you look at them it looks as though inly one day has gone by.

    Other ideas:
  • Natural grain? - Raw and Pure, rather than being heavily edited?! - option?
  • A lot going on and then becoming more minimalistic.



So I would link the horizon lines of these pictures together.












Monday 10th of June 

Here are some more that I have edited to be blurry for my artboard.






Friday 31st of May

Touched base with my Art History for a couple of lessons, just about finished on my Sally Mann art history piece and have started on my second art history person, Walker Evans and the photograph 'Child in backyard' from 1932. Here's some screenshots screenshot!






Just started :)

It's been a while since it showed you what I've been up to for my art board. Ive been planning for a different Why for my Art board; landscapes in New Zealand using their horizon lines to connect to each other and to New Zealand itself. Here are some pictures I've been playing around with for my art board.








Friday - 15/3

The last two weeks I've started planning my first panel for my art-board. All there panels, here are some photos of the planning I did in the last couple of lessons;



 I wanted to do something to do with time, where the photographs I take will be throughout the 19th, 20th and 21st century using some of the techniques they used to document a teenagers life and through young woman and their person lives and how it would be portrayed in different centuries.



So now all I have to figure out is how to get the effect of an 1800 style photograph using either Lightroom or photoshop to get the texture just right to make it look perfect. (Daguerreotype )

Art history
Sally Mann is a Daguerreotype photographer and has won many awards for her work. She is most known from her large-format, black and white, photographs of her children and landscapes.

The Photograph that I'm going to be studying for art history. The photograph is called 'The Damaged Child'. The photograph is of a child, Sallys daughter Jessie in 1984. It shows her with a damaged face and fuffy eye looking directly at the camera.

The photograph was apart of the begun series in 1984.

So the last couple of days Ive been looking into different photography types;

Cinematography - Cinematography is basically the art of photography and camera work while making films, documentaries, commercials, etc.


Photograms -  A photogram is technically a photographic print made by laying objects onto photographic paper and exposing it to light, in a dark room, to make a photograph without a camera.

Daguerreotype -  A Daguerreotype is a unique image on a silvered copper plate that was the first successful photographic process during the 1840s to 1860s. The images were usually of people that could afford to be photographed and of landscapes/architecture.



Thursday - 7/2

This year I am doing Year 13 Photography. Here is my brainstorm of what I'm thinking of doing; my WHY!


At this point in time, I am leaning more towards a documentary style. For example 'a day in the life'.

Some of them are; to document people in Christchurch city (strangers), To follow one person around for a day, to take photos that look like were taken decades ago, and more.

I have also found some ARTEST MODELS that would like to use to incorporate in my work and possibly for my art history internal.
