Print elective

Photos iv chosen to work from for the elective

Photographs of wire drawings 2

I manipulated the photographs I took on photoshop and inverted the colour. The results put more emphasis on the shadows I created with light. I found it interesting how drastic a change simply inverting the colour made to my photographs as they look like entirely different entities.

Photographs of wire drawings

I lit around my wire drawings with the flashlight from my phone and photographed the shadows which were produced. The shadows I think were just as interesting as the constructions themselves.

Finished prints :)

Mono prints 22nd November

Completed print from woodcut :)

Projection

 When I had a line drawing blown up  to larger scale and finished on the wall, I projected photographs I took previosly onto the drawing to give a background, and used a third-party digital camera to record it.

The result channels movement although the figures are stationary. The blurred lights give the illusion that the figures are in motion, which asks the question, what would be the result if movement was added?

Woodcut

I decided to do a woodcut because I came into college thinking I wanted to do print, and resorted back to it. The fact I had been experimenting with line, I believe this was a good progression from drawings and and photographs, which I played around with on photo shop, emphasizing and dramatizing lines.
