INSIDE OUT (Yr 10)
What is inside out?
Inside Out is an old Exam question I like to focus on, as it gives students an exciting and create opportunity to explore more contextual elements of Photography. Inside Out allows students more creative freedom, and allows them to explore both physical and digital editing techniques, as well as looking at wider influences from the artworld for inspiration.
THINGS TO think about
The theme of 'Inside Out' is a lot more open than you have had previously. This means you have more creative freedom, and there are various things we need to consider...
These things include what artist we are looking at for influence, how we take the picture, where we take the picture, why we are taking the picture, how the picture links to 'Inside Out', how we set the camera and many more things!
Things to consider when shooting:
How can you use your location? What formal elements can you link to your shoot? How does these images link to my theme? - so much more
CUT OUTS
These images take the theme of 'Inside Out' in a very literal way. You are physically, and digitally cutting away part of an image to revel elements on the inside.
This can be a very creative way of working that has strong links to Collage Art.
Position of the Model & Viewer - Inside v Out
In art history we can see that the artist traditionally takes account of the viewer and in some cases makes them feel like they are part of the scene (Van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait or Velázquez Las Meninas). Edward Hopper was a master of this, often allowing us to see into the scene through a window.
FRAMING
Framing in photography refers to the technique of drawing focus to the subject in the photo by blocking other parts of the image with something in the scene. Frames can be located in the center of the picture or alongside its edges.
SURREAL IMAGES
Artists like Denis Darzacq use their camera in a creative way. They experiment and exploit fast shutter speeds to create dreamlike images that appear to show their models floating in space - this dreamlike image lives 'Inside' our imaginations.
