BAYER,++Portrait+Of+A+Place-+Altered+Art

This artist, Alaska blue Moose, works upon many different images that show great colorations throughout their images while creating very powerful photos.The first image here, called, Literally, //Just Playing Around, is a portrait and it// represents a really dramatic and smoothing image all at once demonstrating how fun summertime can be. This image has the techniques of leading lines; where the sidewalk and the grass incorporate together within the cottage. The girls face is blurred, leaving the audience unaware of who she really is. The unknown of who she is sets the mood to be cautious and calm. Though, the mood of this image can be seen in many different points of views. However, it seems as if this artist is thinking back to a moment in time; thinking back to their past and a memory while holding onto something meaningful. With this image, I found it very unique and inspiring by the way this artist portrayed this image. The girl and the jump rope really caught my eye because looking deeper within this image; the shadows and background tell an entire story to this image. [|alaska blue moose]

The second image I portrayed as uncomfortable and spooky because of the shadows and dramatic clouds extending throughout the image. This artist, Roman Loranc, creates many of his images into black and white. He spent many hours exploring the pristine trout streams and meadow marshlands. With that, he's huge into taking nature pictures and enjoys making his clouds very strong throughout his images. This picture, called the //Private Road with Clouds, 1993,// which is a landscape, inspired me due to his ability of lighting and overall, his piece makes me feel as I'm walking through a valley of darkness. Much darkness and depression is evoked into this image by the artist. Also, the mood seems to look like a constant battle of give and take because the leading lines, which focuses into the mountains, ends with a mystery.

[] The last picture I chose, was taken by a man named Steven Brett Stoddart which was taken in Wisconsin in a series that focused on abandoned buildings and architecture. This photo represents a scene that looks old and faded, yet something most Americans do on a daily basis: watch TV. Overall, this photo has a lot of natural and available light within the imagery. There is a lot of coloration which makes the audience look at this picture seeing much warmth and happiness. The reasoning for this is because many people enjoy relaxing and watching TV, which represents a persons life they are currently living or have been living. This photo has the mind set of a metaphor.There are a few leading lines with the TV but there are also rules of thirds.

I want my imagery to have a dramatic and thoughtful mood that will always be haunted and have a incomplete feeling. Furthermore, I want to use dramatic lighting that will eventually portray my focus point to my main idea. The type of place I am inspired to illustrate is a interiorscape which is located in my grandpas house; where my grandma no longer lives in. Whenever I go to my grandpas house; I walk in and see this chair where my grandma used to sit; which is now an empty seat I see. The reason why I want to do this is because this place is very touching and powerful to me. In this case, seeing this empty chair haunts and depresses me because I see many flashbacks daily. Though, I want my picture to be around 12in x 11in, which is pretty big. Overall, I want my image to be printed onto wood. media type="youtube" key="eN89-ceFJ-U" width="420" height="315" [] For my printmaking technique, I would like to transfer a photo onto wood. You can use any type of wood. Print out on a plain piece of paper Print your picture to the size of the wood you're going to use Lightly damp in paper towel/ knock the dust off the wood Use the studio medium and the mat finish. (FOR IMAGE TRANSFERS) Use a brush and generally paint it on where you want your picture to be (GLOB IT ON KIND OF) Paint on the wood and paint a LITTLE on the image too Take the picture; CAREFULLY position it; set it down light; ONCE IT STICKS, IT STICKS!!! (Reposition it a little bit; if very gentle and careful) Lightly get the wrickles out>>> GET AIR BUBBLES OUT. (Something to burnish with) DON'T GO TOO HARD; don't want to rip the paper LET IT DRY OVERNIGHT Tear off what you can tear off Get sponge/use finger and get paper wet.... KEEP RUBBING TO GET PAPER TO GET OFF Ink WILL come off; WHAT YOU WANT TO HAPPEN! (See through) End up doing this a good 2-3 times, (LET IT DRY INBETWEEN) KEEP RUBBING TO GET MORE AND MORE OFF. Once done rubbing paper off; make it have a rusty/good look Destress ink user... (PRINT DESIGN) STAMP IT ON; HOWEVER YOU WANT.
