Representational Form

Gesture drawings using cardboard, bolt and ink dropper.  I create a lot of gesture drawings and a lot of them are not like the picture I chose, but they represent it in some way. 

High contrast drawings using ink dropper, bolt and sharpie.  I drew these very quickly and then went threw them and made changes to make them more of a high contrast.

Silhouette drawings using sharpie and spray paint.  I spray painted the stencil on the paper as well as drew the silhouettes.  

Geometric drawings using sharpie.  I chose to draw all of these because it was simple and easiest to get a near perfect geometric shape.

Stencils using spray paint.  I cut out the stencil on transparencies then spray painted them onto paper.  I think the stencils themselves look cool with the dried paint on them.  I could get 2 marks by spraying the stencil and then flipping it over on another sheet of paper to get the inverse.  The two designs for each stencil turned out different from each other

Hybrid logos using sharpie.  I combined my hand, Hot Wheels logo and bolt to create a logo

11/19 Lecture and Reading on Contemporary Photography

Some Photographers

Ansel Adams- 1940s classic black and white photographer

Henri Cartier-Bresson- he waited to for the right moment to capture the best photo possible

Cindy Sherman- she used self portraits and play acting for photos

Ouiji- usually first on a scene to get a tabloid type shot such as a murder scene.

Sherry Levine- took a picture of a picture and then claimed it as her own work.

Thomas Devanz- builds paper models of different scenes for his photos

Wolfgang Tillmans- took non-professional type pictures of family and friends and didn't scrap any of them.

Jeff Wall- used life size pictures of artwork to make it feel like you were actually looking at the piece.
