PHASE 3WEEK 7REVIST & IMPROVEMONTAGE AND KEY WORDS

CREATIVE MIND-MAPS (PPT)

DI1 Come up with a range of ideas related to subject, elements, devices, concepts , photography

genres & contexts

D12 Make connections between my ideas using images, words, objects to show my thinking process

MONTAGES & MOODBOARD (PPT & SKETCHBOOK)

DI3 Research, collect & select good quality images, information, and text relevant to developing

personal themes

DI4 MOODBOARD- Create an aesthetically pleasing visual response to chosen themes

demonstrating understanding of the visual elements & presentational devices to communicate

mood/ character & themes

DI5 MONTAGES- Demonstrate effective experimentation with Photoshop tools and filters- layering,

merging, changes in scale…

1.Look at the student example on the next slide (or the full example at the end of the ppt…

2. Ensure you are familiar with the following:SUBJECT- what could be photographed, the tangible thing in the photographVISUAL ELEMENTS- Colour, shape, pattern, texture, contrast, structure, tone…..DEVICES- anything which communicates your idea e.g. metaphor, narrative, abstraction, composition, vantage point, techniques and processes, layering, distortion…..CONCEPTS- The ideas you could communicate (these are ideas related to subject e.g. the concept might be childhood memories- if the subject was toys, sweets, bedroom …GENRES- To help you with this research photography genres in google searchCONTEXTS- these can be GEOGRAPHICAL CONTEXTS/ ERAS/ HISTORY/ SOCIETY/ GENDER/ RELIGION /LITERATURE….. Basically things that relate to your theme but are not exclusively about photography.
