EX139 Including artworks in your photography
In this weeks talk we explored how to engage with artworks in art galleries. In the matching exercise we encourage you to visit an art gallery, or to just include an artwork in your photography as part of the composition.
You might include the artwork as a complete artwork, or just as a minor accompaniment. For example I might include a painted layer in with my photograph. Alternatively I might make a new artwork using the original. Please watch the presentation on visiting an art gallery, and if you can, take your camera to see some art. You may find public art in a park and interact with it too.
A lighter exercise than we have had in the past few weeks.
When we gather in Len’s Class we can talk about how we interact with the art of others.
Post three photographs that show your exploration with art. Post your photographs in the post in the forum and we will discuss these in our next class.
An installation at the Art Gallery of NSW - My son enjoys the fractured mirrors. Artist unrecorded.
Taken in a shop this shirt is designed by the late Keith Harding. His artworks adorned the walls of art galleries, and was often installed and then painted over. I remember watching him paint one, and wish I had taken his photograph.
Art is everywhere, and not just in art galleries. You will find art in your home, in the park, in the local shopping centre perhaps.
This is a detail of a larger painting, I took it to add to another photograph as a texture. This painting wasn’t signed and was used as decoration in a house.
