Paige+M+Portrait+of+a+Place



What is a digital substrate and how do digital photographers use them? -It is a surface that a artist prints onto. They use they for like printing a picture on a piece of fabric, and maybe sewing it onto a pillow.

What are the 3 directions that this project could take? (hint there are 3 kinds of processes used to do this sort of work, what are they?) -You could use paper, metal, cloth, and many more things.

Explain 3 new things you learned through this research about how to print and take photographs. -One thing I learned was that you can print on many different surface types. Another thing I learned was that you can make a picture look like a painting with doing many things to it, and making it into a different piece of art. And last I learned was that many different forms of art are photography.

Which of the artists' works did you admire most and why? -I admire John Paul Caponigro because, his things are like nature but not green nature, and I like that about it.

Did you discover someone not mentioned? -No I did not.

How will this effect your work as an artist? - It will affect my work because, I'm not used to painting right now and that is what I want to do with it, so it will be a challenge.

What places are you thinking about creating a portrait of and why? -I am thinking of doing up north where we go because, I love it up there. I have so many great memories, and I think it will be really pretty in winter like it always is. Plus we have alpacas, so I think it will be cool to get some pictures of them. The only problem is I don't know when we will get up there.

What mood do you hope to evoke through your photographs of this place? -The mood I hope to evoke is, family, memories, and joy. I am a person that is where nothing can bring me down and that is like up north. So I want it to look present and pleasing.

Which of the three techniques do you plan to use for your project? -I plan to turn my photo black and white, and use tranperancy and put in onto watercolor paper, and last to use watercolor crayons or something to make it look like a painting.

What non-digital art techniques will you use? (drawing, painting, art metals, printmaking, sculpture, sewing, hand-made books, altered book etc) -I would use painting, and transparency for sure, but maybe something else yet.
