Landscape and see - Week 2

This week I have been going to workshops as an introduction, which has allowed me to reintroduce myself with different mediums and explore how I can use them for my project.

I have been using a professional camera in order to capture my interpretation of words. The two images on the left are two of my best images. The top is called 'direct', which I have decided to capture a loudspeaker because it is a method used to communicate with students. The second image is called 'contrast', which focuses on the difference and conflict between nature and buildings. I have edited these two images using Photoshop CC and adjusted the contrast, tone and colour of the image in order to gain quality.

This activity has made me more open minded and has made me realise what you are capable of producing through using as little as one word.

So far I have been making progress with my research and have been using their themes and ideas in my work, however, I need to start speeding up because I haven't yet managed to annotate my work. Additionally, I have also researched articles from the Weston Mercury in order to get some ideas for my work and give it more context. Within these articles, I have found out that the image of the graffiti in my previous post is from a 'paint jam' festival that was set up in order to raise money for regenerating the Birnbeck Pier. I could use this as a reference for my work and build up more ideas.
