first lesson....

first lesson :)..
we first got told what the new project was, ARTEFACTS. We got told that this would be an art unit, a unit where you would produce a 3 dimensional work of art, also using photography. We got given a few names such as Tracey Emin, Damien hirst and Anthony Gormling are all artists that are out of the ordinary. They all do something that stands out from the rest.
like TRacey Emin, her art is personal to her and reflects how she feels, some of her work is sexual but some is also aggressive. some may not think its art, but it is to most. its art from a different persons perspective and she thinks outside the box.

Damien Hirst, is also a well known artist. he was commissioned to a diamond encrusted skull! he also uses animals, and slices them in half and puts them in a frame that you can walk around. Some also say that this isnt art but it buts things in a different perspective. This is taking art to an extreme. When you look at his art, you think why? what? how? he takes his art to a new level. his art is amazing to look to think how the animals are real but just he he did it. sometimes its scary but its like framing something he is proud of.

Anthony gormley is ANOTHER well known artist that we all researched. one of his main focuses is people. his artwork confuses you as you think how is this possible? how did he do it? it reflects his intelligence as he designed it. All his work is complicated and complex but amazing to look at!

All of these artists have created installations, art that you can walk around. Like a how room full of art. and its even more amazing to look! ]

after we researched these artists we went out with a proper film camera. we learnt how to put the film in and move the film along so no light was let in. we used to light proof bags and it was such a challenge! you had to do everything without seeing and it was the first time! i was working with melissa and i thought we worked pretty well :) everyone got one subject and ous was LINES. we got the camera and headed out.

because it was a proepr camera you had to get the exposure and focus right yourself otherwise the photo wouldnt come out, and you dont find out until you develop your film. you had to the green circle to come up other wise it was to much or to little exposed. we developed the film and it was soon end of the day!

i think im going to enjoy this project. Next week we are actuallyy working with the pictures :P:L
