Photo Based And Installation Art

Most of the work I have created have circled around the theme of identity. I have done this in several different fields including media and fine art. In media I have worked with both film, and digital photography. as well as videography. In 2016 I created a photography series titled “salad days” that depicted the give and take nature of youthfulness and what it means to mature. This work included nine square photos which incorporated text at the bottom of each image. The series was then feature in a show case exhibition. Recently I have started working more elaborately with video and incorporating metaphorical imagery into my films. This enables me to continue working with the theme of intangibility while being able to expand the format to include

Over the years, I have flirted with visual art. It started with pencil drawing, continued as an affair with marker illustration, then a dalliance with lettering, and I now have a relationship with photography. However, my favorite art will never be displayed in museums or galleries. It is not static and immutable. Rather, my chosen medium is fluid, living, volatile. No matter how well rehearsed, it will never be the same again. That’s the beauty of performance art.

Caitlyn Hatch is a twenty year old student from Amherst, Massachusetts, who spends her weekends roaming abandoned buildings all over the western part of the state. What she does in these buildings is take photographs, however, she has not always been interested in the medium. Photography had never been her first choice for what she would possibly study at university, and she never imagined it as being something she would want to pursue professionally. Originally, she was intent on being a graphic designer. She had begun to play around with an online photoshop app, editing pictures taken by other people and was sure graphic design was for her, that is, until she got her first camera. She got her first camera at age fourteen for Christmas, one of the big black Nikon digital cameras. While she had never seriously considered photography before, she began to play around with her new camera. The novelty of it all coupled with the support of her father, who himself was an amateur nature photographer throughout his twenties, started the fire in her to take up this art and learn as much about it as she could.

Lorraine O’Gradys’ unintentionally historic performances, seemingly elevate everyday life to the status of art. In her ‘exhibit’ at the Studio Museum, her work is represented through photographs, in ‘Art is…’. Thirty years ago, O’Grady presented ‘Art is’ in the form of a float in the African American Day Parade right here in Harlem. Performers pranced with empty frames, metaphorically capturing fleeting pictures of the people and places that surrounded the route of the parade. By doing so, the trappings of high art were brought out of the museum, into the street, which promotes a new way people might begin to recognize this new art form in the celebrations of every day life. The

While working as a designer, I developed own illustration style using pens and watercolours. Since these two materials are readily accessible and easy to learn, I believe this method would be useful and enough for the public to express their ideas and bring a sense of pride and accomplishment. Throughout my years of teaching high school students at the Smile Art Institute of South Korea, I successfully aided students in honing their artistic abilities through the use of various mediums including pastels and watercolours – students were taught to create 2D and 3D artworks with precision description. I would like to share these experiences with others, who may think art as “difficult”, or requiring “natural talent”, and become a positive influence in approaching artistic

Aside from basic two dimensional art, I have always been fascinated with the unique stories told through film. The way that a picture is painted through film is something that one cannot find in just any art form. Film is unique and fascinating, so I sought to find a way to unite the two worlds of film and the 2D art that I enjoy so much. My findings were that digital animation combined the artistic style that I love and the storytelling of film in a way that intrigued me beyond any other career I had researched.

“Once you find your passion, and enjoy doing what you’re doing, then you never have to work another day in your life” (Atwood). Many people see photography as just a career, and while technically it is a job, it’s also a form of art. It’s all about capturing moments and making people feel emotion.Some people find self-expression through taking photos, almost like therapy. The feeling I get when I get “the” picture is unbeatable. Each and every person has the power to create, and it all starts with a camera. Although it doesn’t need much of an education, photography is a very unique job; the industry is just now starting to grow although it’s been around for quite some time.

Until the 19th century most artwork was created in a two or three-dimensional media. In England, William Fox discovered a technique that allowed camera images to be captured on paper. This medium has evolved since Fox’s discovery in 1839 to a serious and viable form of art today. Photography allows the artist to capture what he sees. The image produced is reality to the artists eye, it can only be manipulated with light and angles.

“What I am doing every step along the way,” said Wheeler, “is helping you create a picture in your head or help you have a feeling in your gut or help you sense a touch. I’m using my medium to

This is a Book that entails Kiki Smith’s never-seen images. The artist (Kiki Smith) gives insight to how her work was processed. And how she was moved in the direction, as far as scheme of colors and so forth. Allowing viewers to have a vivid eye on how and why she did the things she did when taking her

Between the use of film or digital photography, film is the more effective method when looking for originality and creativity. With the adoption of digital photography, the younger generations, as well as the older and more current photographers are becoming lazy. These groups must recognize that the art of the photograph is being jeopardized by the digital camera and the camera phone. For the current photographers as well as amateur photographers, this essay will serve as testimony to film as well as other chemical methods, and how they shouldn’t be ignored, but preferred. The digital era has had a massive impact on the art world and all of its mediums, but for photography this impact has resulted in the removal of the human from the photograph making process. This intimate process is what makes it an art form. All of films imperfections and unique qualities, as well as its monetary value and scarcity are just a few factors that have made it so precious. To replace this entire process with a microchip is offensive and undermines the importance of the process that is needed to make a photograph. Anyone can take a picture but you must make a photograph, and this skill is being simplified to a digital camera. The impact of the digital era on photography has hindered the process of making a photograph; painting the art form obsolete in today’s society.

Last year I completed an arts degree at the University of Alberta, majoring in history

My design capabilities progressed as I continued my exploration of the power of words and images through the production of a series of handbound artist’s books. In the production process of generating written content and conceptualizing aesthetics designs that addressed both form and function, I found intersectionality in my written and visual art practices.
