Esser,+Jessica-Portrait+of+a+Place



1. the first image represents a landscape that is very abstract because the artist made black and white. Taking out the natural aspect of what we normally see. Its kind of what the viewer sees and its left up to interpretation. the mood is very creepy and it feels like you could be sucked into the blackness. This picture is a West photograph he normally does this high contrast abstract landscape work. There is a lot of symmetry and pattern because of the natural reflections and the way the composed the space makes the objects feel more like shapes and patterns. 2. The second image is a city or landscape, i thought if it more as a city that was over run by plants. the artist is Paul Raphlson, the mood is kind of quiet however a creepy sort of desolate quiet. He has a interesting point of view putting the viewer in the grass peaking out and the bulidng creates a leading line as it goes back into space. 3. The last one is a city scape, taken in an old time style. this is also done by Paul Raphlson, he does a lot of complex compositions with landscapes usually focusing on one object that tell a story. This picture feels very quiet, as if quiet old people live in the house and drive that car. There are a lot of leading lines due to the telephone wires. they put hte car in one of the thirds so he's following that as well.

[|__https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MPS_MA-qIY__] This video explains the process of using mod podge as a medium to transfer the picture to the wood surface. I plan on using this with my five wooden boards. I hope to use this method on all five boards individually to create a collaged landscape. I plan on editing the pictures differently and zooming in on different sections more than others. For my landsape i plan on emphsizing the mood of warmth and playing up the sun. [|__https://www.youtube.com/watch?][|v=yO3qZR8ahlk__] This video depicts photo transfer onto fabric, with mod podge. I would like to try this possibly for the cityscapes. However I would also like to try printing onto organza with my last piece. For my interior space i plan on emphasizing the color of the light reflecting from the paintings on to the walls. I want to show off my persoanl ambtions in a space and have the art kind of the be light at the end of a dark tunnel.
