Collage

I created a collage on PhotoShop mixing together photos from my past. This beautiful blossom from outside my old house. The Sphinx in Crystal Palace Park, a close up of the Crystal Palace tower. A close up of whisteria from my old backgarden and the Thornton Heath clock tower from another area I lived in as a teenager.








I had to use the lasso tools to cut around the sphinx, the clock tower and the other photos I want to use. It was extremely time consuming to remover the sky between the tower and blossom. However, it paid off as I was really happy with my outcome.



This is my process of removing the background
Next I will make a collage with the pictures.

This is the collage I made layering the photos and changing the opacity to allow them to blend in together. I want this piece to be more abstract.

I painted some A4 muslin cloth test pieces to see how it turned out. 





The contrast on the acetate wasn't strong enough so when it was being exposed to light, you could barely see anything. I will go back on Photoshop and not make and not make them as see though. This way the shadows will be stronger.

1st test piece of paper cutting- Castle brief

I want to use the vines I created on my previous page for my main piece. I wanted to create a simpler test piece to see how it will work. This link will take you to the process of my  paper cutting  for the lightbox. I am going to move forward with laser cutting my layers as it will cut the layers out alot cleaner and quicker than by me using a scalpel. I need to figure out how I will sketch up the different layers. I'm not sure how I will line up all the layers. Maybe I can use tracing paper so I can see how the layers line up.

Troubles with tracing- Castle brief

-
  Tracing the vines Even though I found difficulties tracing the vines, I still managed to make out a rough guide of the vine and where I couldnt I just made up my own flow of vines. I want to make the landscape I create, look over grown & hard to see things. I want the viewer to feel as though they are peeking through having to move their head from side to side to look over & under the vines.
