So far you should have the following work in your books:
- Research into Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake's illustrations for Dahl's books, include reproductions of his work, background information, analysis of Blake's style (2 pages)
- Research into the works of Roald Dahl, moodboards of these with brief analysis.
- At least 3 pages of storyboarding for your photoshoot, this should be a mix of quick sketches and annotation.
- 1 or more pages showing some good examples of existing storyboards, with brief analysis ( Josh Sheppard).
- Research into one narrative photographer with fantastical elements - e.g. Annie Liebovitz, Ruven Afanador, Viona Ielegems, Tim Walker. 2 pages with imagery, background and some of your own analysis of a couple of specific shots, consider what practical steps went into creating the image we see. So discuss location, models, postures, costume, props, make up, composition, lighting, camera angle, post-production.
- At least 2/3 in depth photo shoots showing VARIED and different moments within your story.
- Wallet prints from your photo shoot.
- Larger prints (A4/A5) of a range of your best edited shots
- series of quick expressive drawings - if you want to add to/replace those we produced in class then do so!
- At least 2 sustained full page tonal pencil observational drawing from your photographs
- A 3rd full page observational drawing from your photographs, using different media for this one - e.g. biro, fine liner, coloured pencils. This is an independent study task.
- At least one sustained piece of mono printing (A4 or A3), and at least 3 quick ones.
- At least 1 in depth sustained Gold Card printing (A4 or A3), printed on varying backgrounds.
- 2 carbon drawings from photographs
- Research into 2 narrative illustrators, these MUST be at least one historical and one contemporary practitioner. In this research it is important to give background biographical information on each illustrator, analyse some specific images in terms of content, technique and media and justify your own opinions on the work. Write at least 600 words overall, and answer the questions about each illustrator on the previous post. Remember part of this writing must be a distinct section of analysis that compares the illustrators from different eras and describes how you feel illustration has changed over time. This covers comparisons of practitioners within your unit criteria and you will not be able to pass this project without it.
- Using your own photographs as inspiration produce 2 interpretations of your images in the style of each illustrator you have researched - that is 4 illustrations in total. Take time over these and do your best to really replicate the style and use appropriate media.
- At least 6 collages using mixed media pieces using a range of media, some of these can be produced digitally, but there needs to be some hand produced imagery as well. Some can be spontaneous but all should show a rigorous and highly creative use of experimental media.
- To support this work you will need to add some research into 2 Collage based Artists with thorough analysis of their work. This research is essential evidence towards your Units, so do it well! Identify your Artist and collect a range of good examples of their work. Discuss some specific images in depth -
- When was the image produced?
- What do you think has influenced this Artist?
- Does the image have a commercial (or other) purpose?
- What media are being used?
- How is the image composed?
- What imagery is included?
- Is text included?
- How is colour employed?
- What have you learned from looking at this Artist's work and how can you apply it to your own mixed media work?
Some you might consider are Mario Wagner, Ben Allen, Nazario Graziano, Tim Marrs, Martin O'Neill, Eduardo Recife or Mark Powell
- This week we will be finishing off any further drawing
- and producing some typography to use within your book. You will need approximately 20 images of photographs, print and drawing to make your book effective. We will start to help you select this week.
- Next week will be putting your book together all week using Indesign and completing your evaluation.
