During the last 3 years of doing unit 1, I have done many themes but my most favourable ones are disguise which I had done research on and I had discovered an artist called Saul Steinberg, this artist had done pictures with people having paper bags over the faces with drawn faces on the front of the bag, this inspired me to do my pictures with having people hold famous peoples faces in front of theirs of when I am doing my pictures. Another version I tried was taking pictures of peoples faces hiding behind objects such as books, trees, computer, signs or even locker doors. I had done many sets of these type of images but then all of a sudden I discovered another type of disguise which was called double exposure, I done this by using photoshop and taking pictures of people and the environment and doing it step by step by watching a tutorial off of youtube which is now on my site, and it showed my how to put trees into peoples head in a very cool way, this inspired me to do two different types one with car and one of buildings and trees they were both very successful and i really liked the idea of being able to combine the two together.
Another theme I really enjoyed is Spirals, I also had done research on this theme and discovered an artist called Andy Goldsworthy this artist did many different types of spirals 2 of them are in different weather types for example, one is in the snow another is made in the woods this inspired me to do my spirals by using the technique called light painting in a dark room with a camera on a set time and the light can make any shape or any spiral if it is executed properly. After that I stubbled over another technique I can use to make spirals this technique was called Chemigrams, I had also attached a video about it and who had also used this feature his name was called Pierre Codier. I had done a couple of versions of this and eventually I done a successful tornado which links with spirals and that then become used in my final piece but before that I had developed the picture in photoshop then my final piece I had a big white board and I had printed out big versions and small versions and stuck them in order in a way I wanted I had then got black paint and painted around the tornado's in order to create and black background and to make the tornados stand out more.
My last favourite theme is Absurd this project had many little other projects within absurd such as hide, split heads and signs my favourite was split heads because I wanted to experiment with it as I had not have done it before and I found it very interesting because it looks hard and s very hard to blend two heads together but instead of using photoshop I used paper and folded them in different ways in order to place another picture beside it this is because i could get an idea of where to place it and what persons pictures goes with someone else. I also liked this theme because we got to use even more creative side of our minds in order to make something someone has never seen before and make something thats not ordinary.
