Term 2 - Week 6 - Digital Technology 2 - Silo Park - Response

Auckland Festival of Photography

I've really enjoyed this trip to Silo Park yesterday.

I can see reflection through the concrete because the weather was rainy from the blue sky. 

What is this show about? 

This  work appeals to me because the photos were out of focus but still I could see movement, motion blur. She photographed farm land. She likes taking photos of tractors. I can see a photo of me standing by the photos which are out of focus. I'm looking straight at the camera because my eyes are open and relaxed.   

How many photos are in this show?
Seven Photos which are colour. 

How much space is there between each photo?
Uneven Space between each photo. She's grouped the photos.

How does this affect your viewing of the work? 
The grouping helped with her photos. 

What size/s are these photos?
A3

How does this affect your viewing of the work? 
Complaints 

What presentation method has been used?
The A3 prints with backing boards which was thin.

How does this affect your viewing of the work? 
This work is starting to come off. 

Are there any aspects of this presentation you would use when presenting your Portfolio this term and if so what are they?
I want to put my work on backing board instead of framing it.

I really liked his work and Photography. He spends a lot of time organising and staging his work.

I liked her minature art work and Photography. 

I can see two photos of me on the swing in the playground and looking at the different art works before other students returned at Manukau Institute of Technology. (Photos by Karen with her phone)

Arthur Ou's abstract work. I tried to recreate in photoshop using similar ideas. This was fun using the lasso tool and different brushes.
