Order and Chaos Book Research

Book Research

 30th October 2017
We went into the library to research photographers who's work resembles the theme of order and chaos.

Andreas Gursky 




Book:Andreas Gursky : Photographs from 1984
These images are an example of the theme chaos, photos he took from 1984. I think the top photo is definatly chaos. Although, the bottom photo could fit order.


Berenice Abbott



Book: from the book constructing worlds
This image I think is an example of chaos as the city building lights and trails show the people and traffic around

Lucien Herve 


Book : from the book constructing worlds
This photo, I think is an example of order as the boxes look identical and orderly stacked.

Ed Ruscha 

 


Book : from the book constructing worlds
An example of order as the car parking spaces are lined up. I also think it is order because of the glass building windows lined up.

Stephen Shore




Book: from the book constructing worlds
I think this is an example of chaos because of the busy streets full of people.
This is where all the above from the book constructing worlds was found.  

Iwan Baan 



This is an example of chaos as the houses are tightly compacted.

John Blakemore 


The photographer that produces the photos most like the photos I took is John Blakemore . 


- from the book John Blakemore - photographs 1955-2010 . I think this photos most represent chaos as you can see the movement lines as the water travels.

Week 4 Evaluation of Carousel Art and Design  Materials The materials we used during these two days are cartridge paper ( A2, A3, A6),  pencils, pens, charcoal, graphite sticks, ink, paint, chalk, lighting, paper photocopies of our collages, wallpaper pieces, paper 3D structures, oil based ink, scissors and the printing press. Processes The process we used are setting up our print making area through the press, cutting our collages into 3D structures and making 15 samples to express our feelings through, experimenting with the different lighting areas with our structures.  Technical skills  The technical skills we used during the two days in art and design are print making using the press, I think I am quite good at print making once I remembered the process. Using the lighting area to produce an image and using the printing area with care and safety. I think I did this quite well as I improved with using different areas with different li...

How light enters the camera

Image
How a Camera works Light enters the camera through the barrel lens, where it goes through the adjustable aperture which controls the among of light which enters the camera. The larger the hole the more light can enter which means the F number is lower allowing the subject to be in focus and the background to be blurred. the smaller the aperture hole the higher the F number, this means less light enters the camera and the full frame is in focus. The light then hits the back mirror infont of the shutter and the sensor plate where it is reflected into the prism of mirrors in the top of the camera out through the viewfinder where the photographer can see it. When taking a image the mirror has to move for the shutter to release, this is the split second where the photographers vision goes blank.  This image shows the part of a camera. This helps us to understand how a camera works and how a photo can be developed using a camera. It explains what every part is and what it does...

John Blakemore Research (Digital)

John Blakemore Research (Digital) John Blakemore was born 15th July 1936 in Coventry. He is known for his still life, landscape photography and print making. Some significant event which happen in his life was the war in 1939, he also served as an RAF nurse from 1954-1956. He first got into landscape photography in 1970 when he moved to Derby to begin teaching. From 1971 he started to only use a 5x4 camera and simplified equipment. He solely used a 180mm Symmar S lens for both landscape and still life. This was because it was high quality and large pixels. This camera involved black and white film and it was large format. My favourite groups of photos I like the most is from all flows which are on page 62-63 from the book John Blakemore photographs 1955-2010. I also like from spirits of place which are on page 64-65 of this book. I think I like these because they relate most to some of the photos I have taken. He uses long exposures to create movement blur, in monochrome. He also h...
