My self portrait - Gary Goodhind

 

What went well with my work was:
that I improved my skills and used my creative side
that my work is different to others work
the outline stands out

what I would change if I did it again:
could have brighter colours
have different sized shapes
cut out the back ground better

My self portrait - Dominic Evans

The three things that I thought I did well was the outlines I drew, the cutting with the scissors and how it looks different to other people's work. The three things I thought I should improve on is I should use more different coloured shapes, more accurate cutting and make the outlines more bold.

i think that the use of colours went well also the thickness of the pen I also think that the carefulness of the outline.

the things that I need to improve on I think that didn't go well was if I was to do it gain I would work on the outline neater I also think I could have used smaller shapes to add more of a better effected I also think that it would have looked better if I never rushed.

I feel the 3 areas of my working process that proceeded on task was  that I was creative and used a varied number of colour combinations also I was very careful at tracing the outline of my face.

 

 

The 3 areas of my work that could have been improved  are  I could  have varied my sticky shapes more and perhaps  have  taken  a little  more times  in my preparation.

My self portrait - Michael Holloway

The three areas of my work process that went well was cutting out a background, being creative and the colour combinations. This was because I used my imagination  

The three areas of my work process that could have been improved would be to have added more sticky shapes, make work neater by taking more time and use a different pose in the photo.

I am pleased with my self portrait because I really liked the colours I used.  I also liked using different shapes and I liked how the picture don't look like me.

 

If I was going to do this again I would change the shapes in the picture, make the lines bolder and make the lines tidier to improve it.

I am pleased with my self  portrait because I really like the colour that I chose to use.

My final piece does not look like myself like the photograph does, but I am pleased with it overall.

my self portrait - Tom Green

What I am most proud of is it looks like me, it stands out because of my choice of colours and I took my time making it.

If I was going to do it again I would try different colours, fill in narrow gaps that I have left out and by adding a background colour.

David Saunders

I was inspired by the artist David Hockney 
I chose the fire extinguishers because of their bright color and interesting shapes.
I am kind of happy with my work but think it would be better if I took clearer photographs of just one extinguisher.

 

 

Connie Rich

What inspired me was David Hockney. I chose to do a car because it had lots of interesting features. I am happy with my work because the photos all fitted together well. I would be even better if I had added more photos.

Courtney Holmes

I was inspired by David Hockney's photomontage work.
I chose the subject because of the shapes on the stereo.
I’m happy with my work because I like the random affect that I created with the shapes.
It would be better if I took more time to lay it out.

Tom Green

I was inspired by David Hockney's photomontage of a chair.
I chose the subject because I liked the shape and colour of the chair.
I am pleased with it because it came out different to how I expected it to look when it was finished.
If I did this again I would change the angles around when I took the photos.

What inspired you??
* The Artist David Hockney.

Why did you choose the subject??
* I chose the computer because it’s different.

Are you happy with your work?? Why??
* I am really happy with my work because I liked to do something different.
   It would be even better if I had just done the monitor.

In Gear B - Photo-Montages in progress

Photo-montage - In Gear B

Photo-montage images made by In Gear group B inspired by artist David Hockney.

Zoe Bendall

The subject of my work is a person, Matt a helper for the teacher. The reason I picked Matt is because doing a person is fun, interesting and it was a challenge to do an image of a person. I am very pleased with my work because it look mysterious and weird!
The way how I could improve my work is if I took more photos for the image and mixed them with the photo montage.

Kenny Hartrey

The subject of my work was a GT mountain bike. 
I chose it because I have an interest in mountain bikes. 
I’m very pleased with my work because it is very simple but at the same time it’s very psychedelic.
To do better I could of using a photo montage of lots of different bikes instead of one.
 

Michael Holloway

What is the subject?
Car Mini Cooper

Why did you chose it?
I wanted to make an image of a small car

Are you pleased with your work?
Yes because it is a car made up out of lots of different pieces

What could you have done to improve it?
I could choose a larger car and take images from different angles

Nathan Moore

The subject of my photomontage a ford focus.

I wanted to do a car because I thought it could be arranged into new shapes.

What I could have done to improve it could increases the range of cars and colors to increase the variety of pictures in the montage

I am pleased with my work because it includes a lot of areas on a car
