There are multiple methods that you could use to recreate the style of this artist. How many can you think of?
By looking at this artist, you will learn how to layer images to suggest movement or life in a busy place. You will be forced to think about composition in a different way to previous, and you'll explore a few different methods, demonstrating to the examiner that you are able to consider alternatives, which is good practice for high marks in AO2!

For this workshop, you will produce two outcomes. The first will be edited on the computer, the second will be created by hand.
Take your photos: - Take 4 photographs of one section of the school. - They should be full buildings
Upload your photos to your area and to a gallery below the research you did on Stephen McNally's style.
Edited outcome instructions: - Open your best photo - Select a section, hold down alt then move over to copy the section to a new layer. - Use the transform and move tools to enlarge slightly and/or move over slightly. - Repeat multiple times, include a mixture of clear and blurred images by adding a motion blur whilst you have the selection still highlighted. - Vary the size of your selections - small/large squares/rectangles - Edit sections so the colours and contrast are slightly varied - Upload full size when complete!
Hand manipulated image (You will do this next lesson): - Edit your 2 full images - edit the brightness and contrast in both, then add a motion blur to just one of them. Save them both as a JPEG. - Print 2 copies of each image in colour to MFD TECH. Go to printer properties to change the settings! - Use one image as the base image - Cut out sections of the other images to layer over the top in squares/rectangles, and glue down at the end!
