oooo I'm all shook up!

 Here are my final images in the order I want them displayed. I decided to go with the layout I like in AnOther magazine which I mentioned in a previous blog post as I think i's an interesting way to display landscape images and I think it also makes them stand out more. I have added credits in the style of AnOther to make it really fit in to my chosen publication. I am pleased with how my images turned out and I think my research backs up my direction and narrative. I found this brief challenging as it was still life and was very unsure where I could take it but I am happy with the work I produced and think it fits the brief well.

Spray paint

Here are the spray paints I am going to use to create the pastel colours for my accessories. I chose a slight gloss finish on the paint so that when I am doing my shoot they items will have a nice sheen which replicates the materials they would've been made from originally.

Tate Modern

While in London I went to the Tate Modern. I have been to the Tate several times but I love wondering around again and again as you always spot things you may have missed before and I get to see old favourites. Here are a few things that struck me on this particular visit.

Wellcome Collection

One of the galleries I went to while in London was the Wellcome Collection, where the exhibition 'Death: A Self-Portrait' was showing. Although quite a morbid exhibition, I took away quite a lot especially how the artists used colours to portray their thoughts on death. The South American/Mexican artists tended to portray death with bright reds and yellows, in order to celebrate the deceased's life. Where as the more European artists tended to use very dull, and bland colours to show more the intimate feelings that surround death.

South American 'shrine' commemorating death

You can see how the artist has used more dull and subtle colours even when using reds and yellows.
