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!

Describe the work of Victor Enrich. How do you think these photos were edited? Today you will learn how to transform a building, completely changing the shape to create something much more experimental. To transform your building in the same way as the artist, you will need to: - Select the building your are going to focus on, copy and paste it onto a new layer. - Select a section of the building then go to edit, transform, warp/skew - Make a small alteration to your building - select a smaller section, then transform it again, and repeat. For more techniques: https://www.dezeen.com/2014/01/08/manipulated-photography-victor-enrich-munich-hotel/ First, upload your new photoshoot underneath the Victor Enrich Research, under the title 'Homework photoshoot in preparation for editing in the style of Victor Enrich' Edit just one photograph, with the intention of having a really effective abstract final image. - Select the building your are going to focus on, copy and paste it onto a new layer. - Select a section of the building then go to edit, transform, warp/skew - Make a small alteration to your building - select a smaller section, then transform it again, and repeat. When finished, edit the overall colours/contrast and use the clone tool to remove any sections that you don't want in your picture. Miss Wilson's example: Upload your edited photo full size. Copy and paste these sentences below your edit then complete to review this task. By taking inspiration from the editing techniques of Victor Enrich I have learnt to... Something I found challenging through this task is... I could develop my ideas further in this project through other experimental editing such as... Going for gold? Use some key words! Warp skew transform copy and paste rotate clone expand distort As an extension/going for gold task, complete another edit of the SAME photograph but edit it completely differently so the shape is in the style of one of Enrich's other photographs.
What makes the these photos so effective? Specifically, what could you learn about composition from Nicholas Goodden's photographs? Today you are learning how to take minimalist photographs in the style of Nicholas Goodden, with a focus on shape, pattern and composition - in particular, negative space. To be successful in today's photoshoot, you will need to: - Look closely at details of the building, with a specific focus on trying to find interesting patterns and shapes in the buildings - Use a bit of imagination and creativity - you can make boring bits look interesting if you are clever with your camera and editing! - Frame your photos effectively, making sure to leave plenty of negative space - Use rule of thirds with some of your photos - have your focal point to the side Miss Wilson's Examples: Under your Nicholas Goodden research, add a gallery and upload your photographs. Also save them to your area. Open your best 2 photos in photoshop. Edit them to enhance their style, using: - Crop - enhance composition if needed - Curves/brightness contrast to enhance shadows - maybe use the burn tool too in places - Select tool - select the background and add a fill colour - he often uses green/blue - Other? Get creative! Upload your edited photos side by side when complete underneath your gallery, and the title 'Edited Photos'. Copy and paste these sentences below your edits then complete to review this task.
Through this photoshoot, I learnt how to... Looking at the work of Nicholas Goodden challenged me to think in a different way about how I take photographs by... Something I could develop further is... Going for gold? Use some key words! composition negative space focal point zoom crop frame contrast pattern shape This lesson you will write about the work of these three photographers. Discuss in pairs how you think their work is created, and be ready to share with the group. *Remind Miss Wilson to write key words on the board during feedback! This lesson is all about AO1 which is using artists to inspire your ideas. By analysing the work of different artists, you will demonstrate your understanding of their work to the examiner which is a great start when 25% of your marks come from this area! Using the information above plus your own further research, write a paragraph to analyse the work of each photographer. Work on a powerpoint - one artist per slide. Include a few photos of their work, and their name as the title. Use the sentence starters/prompts to help you with your writing if needed. NICHOLAS GOODEN VICTOR ENRICH STEPHEN MCNALLY To analyse a photographer's work, you need to talk about what is in the picture, how they have taken the photograph, camera or editing techniques they have used, how they have used the formal elements (colour, composition, lighting, viewpoint etc), what you like about the work, and how their work could inspire your own photographs. Try to use key words. If you need help getting started, use these sentence starters but write as a paragraph... Artist's Name takes photographs of... He/she takes his/her photos by... This photographer considers formal elements in their work by... Something I like about Artist's Name's photography style is... I could take inspiration from this photographer in my own work by... For the higher marks, you need to demonstrate a really good understanding of the artist's work and techniques, and make thoughtful comments about how you could take inspiration from their work, thinking about how you could be individual rather just copying. Peer assessment: Read through someone elses slides. Be a critical friend and point out any errors or things they have missed. Make these improvements in PURPLE!
Save your powerpoint slides as JPEGs then upload them in SINGLE images one below the other onto your Architecture page. Add a title above the three slides - Initial Artist Research. Introducing your new project! Architecture What do you think of when you think about Architecture? At the start of every project we explore the possibilities. By creating a visual mindmap and combining images with text, we can demonstrate to the examiner that we have looked at lots of ideas before making an informed decision about the direction of our project. At the top of your new Architecture page, add a title box (Researching the title) then an image box, then a title (Initial homework photoshoot) then a gallery. Upload your homework photos to your area and then to the gallery. Whilst your photos are uploading, create a visual mindmap on ONE SLIDE of a powerpoint. On this mindmap you should include: - The title 'Architecture' - Key words that link to the title - Photographs that represent the key words that you include in your mindmap - Only use photos that could inspire your ideas later! Here are some good examples from previous students: When you are finished, save your Powerpoint slide as a JPEG then upload it above your homework photoshoot. If you finish early, start looking at the work of these three photographers. They are the photographers that we will learn about first at the start of this project, and explore their techniques. Can you find anything out about the way they create their photographs? Do some research!
