Photo Montage

Today in art I filled in this matrix table thing describing about my work. this didn't take to long to complete this piece of work and i got help from the teachers to complete it cause i didn't get what to do but then he helped me write some ideas down thanks Mr Collins


Subject matter

Form

Space- Composition

Content- Meaning

Your Photomontage

What is your main subject matter?

Ahead or portrait? An animal? A vehicle? What can we identify?

  • My subject matter is a head with headphones.

Scale- between your subject matter, consistent or varied? Do you enlarge your  photo fragments for emphasis?

Ive enlarged the eyes and headphones relative to the head and the banana is smaller.

Is your photo montage flat or does it have space (landscape or city scape)? 

What are your focal points? 

My focal point is the features of the face.

What do you want the viewer’s first reaction to be? Amusement? Awe? Shock? Puzzled? 


How do you group your subject matter? Are they separate or do they touch one another?

I have one head and i have added headphones, eyes and a banana.

Do you work in  black and white or colour? Does your colour create a mood or structure the collage?

Worked mostly in black and white, and except for the eyes and banana has some colour. 

Does your photo montage have leading lines? Do you repeat parts? 

No

How does combining photo fragments together change the meaning of your subject matter? 

The fragments express the head being squashed.

What photo fragments do you add to the main subject? How does this change it?

Do you use similar colour fragments to blend your photo fragments together?

Is the scale of one part larger and more important than the others?

Most important parts are the large eyes and oversized headphones.

Does it express any values or ideas? 

It might express a idea of listening to music.


What if anything, is happening in your photo montage?

The head could be responding to the music.

Do you mix together photos and other types of art? A realistic fragment and a cartoon? 

The eyes aren't realistic.

Do you use overlap, placement, tone/colour, or perspective to create a space?

No 

Are there any other unsuspected meanings that you can see?

Headphones being to tight which makes the face squashed and the eyes popped out and faced different ways.

  1. Kia Ora Abbagale,
    Good mahi! Glad to read your reflection questions answers here on your blog. Your photo-montage is humorous. The elements you've added are scaled well to express pressure against the head. I think this would be theme you could create variations about listening to music. What other elements would you add to represent music?
