n the early 1980's, English painter David Hockney began creating intricate photo collages that he called “joiners”. ... The varied exposures of the individual photographs that make up each collage give each work a fluidity and movement that otherwise might not be found.
CREATE A SERIES OF COLLAGE JOINERS USING TRADITIONAL COLLAGE AND DIGITAL (pHOTOSHOP) TECHNIQUES
please refer to the shared area where you will find a whole host of resources and examples to help you create your collage joiners using photoshop
by the end of next thursdays lesson i would like you to create the following:
1) artist research
research on art 2 day to find three artists who have worked in a simialr way. david hockney can be your main inspiration although he uses a more traditional approach.
plan out an idea for a photoshoot whereby you wil take photos of people in different locations. you could then think how you will start joining them together to perhap create a narrative. think of taking photos around school, utilise indoor/outdoor opportunities. this can be done today if you have completed your portrait photoshop tasks.
3) editing in photoshop
using the photos that you have taken create 2 collage joiners in photoshop
follow the guidance that I have placed in the shared area. follow the link below:
