EP WEEK3 day2 (fri)

 .....this page is in reverse order cos i'm too tired to sort it out!!
PART3 just before i finish for the day i had to include work of ian McKeever, with his layers, grids, circular shapes and blue/black/white colours .... i discovered his work in a book shop in NY in 2011, never having come across him before.... he had slipped from my mind but my work today reminded me of him.

PART 2  it's now16.30 and i have spent this afternoon WITH MORE playing with same images on picassa and ended up with images below. .... I REALLY HAVE TO STOP MAKING MORE COMPUTER IMAGES and now use what i have generated. ...    decided to introduce colour to give an extra dimension.
My images below are what reminded me of artist Ian McKeever above.
I think it has been worthwhile working on images further as they seem to be becoming more sophisticated/interesting as prints.... however noticed this morning that sometimes simpler versions are better/more helpful for generating further work from ??? i'll have to wait and see :) ...but again i'm pleased with what i have done today and am curious to where i will go next.



PART 1 was in room for 9am and tried to upload a new blog but just wouldn't maybe images too large!!
looked through images from W3d1 and felt a bit frustrated as most had too much filter processing done to them to 'feel' right to work from. chose one image that i intuitively wanted to work from and back processed it to get something i wanted to use. Played a bit with image, light /shadow, +/-, and pixillation. i like the way the larger pixillation give a background grid format. Stayed with black and white format as gives more open options when just working with tones. Played with scale, using 'make poster', in picassa, with 2 different options and printed out images for reference in contact sheets and A4 being mindful of resourses.

+/- scan of animal skull, with filters, including pixellation... small circles are dust/sand debris on scanner bed.
                                                                                                                                                                                     below, starting to divide up image......finding it interesting how grid (modernism) is appearing through using make poster facility in picassa and print out formats (contact sheet etc) also pixellated background in above prints        

I'm feeling really quite excited about finding these images and reaching this stage, as i think there is so much to create from.

criteria key words for project
- found objects
- layers
- digital / making

also liking textural quality

.... and think that all these images at this point fill the above criteria.

i have also printed out these images on left as A4 draft copies to help make work next session.
