Art Research Assesment

24/06/21, Thursday

For this assesment, I chose to research photographers Ansel Adams, Rinko Kawauchi, and Laurence Adams. Their different styles of photography makes for a good research since they have their own point of interests. Although, their love for nature is something they have in common. 

Ansel Adams:

 This is the image I chose to research for Ansel Adams. The details of the icicles captivates the viewers and the smooth flowing edges of the icicles makes sure that your eyes doesn't leave the picture immediately.

Rinko Kawauchi:

Art Photogram

 Monday, February 23, 2021.

What is Photogram?

A picture created without using a camera but is instead exposed to light.

What did we do?

We used the copier machine to act as the light we needed to produce the photogram. We went outside to get some flowers and we also borrowed some crab shells. After placing the materials we needed, we placed an apron on top of the items. We were able to make 6 images containing different flowers and leaves.

What did we learn?

The idea of a photogram is new to me and this is a new thing for me. I learnt how to use the copier as a machine to use for photograms. I was able to work with different ideas and items. I learnt about positive and negative spaces and how to use them effectively.

1. Ansel Adams- I liked how Ansel Adams make trees appear as silhouettes and how he isolates nature without man-made buildings.

2. Rinko Kawauchi- I liked how Rinko Kawauchi uses a bright light to almost hide the flower and the plants but its colours are still visible.

3. Laurence Aberhart- The house in the middle of nowhere interests me and makes me think of the meaning behind the picture.
