#ualfoundation

Monday morning ‘ZOOM Drawing’ - Great session again this morning with the Art Foundation on Zoom. Starting the week with our zoom drawing session - all taking turns modelling for 5 or so minutes. Such a nice way to start the week - productive, sociable, positive. Considering three-quarter positions and mask wearing. Really great drawings by everyone again - across two groups and two sessions - and terrific for all of us to keep up with observational sketchbook drawings skills even in full Covid19 lockdown. 

Experimentation: This was an experimentation inspired by Theo Wenner. After viewing his 'Put Your Feet Up And Enjoy The Ride' shoot(Few images featured at the bottom), i decided to play around with how i'd present my images and doing it in the style of how Wenner presented his images in i-D magazine. Titling my shoot 'Welcome to Brighton with Sophie Howard'. I added white borders around some of the images like Wenner as it gives off a polaroid look which i quite liked when i first saw his shoot in the magazine. Although they are probably film photos or maybe just digital, it does make you question what he used to capture these images with, but apart from that i very much like the colour/effect in each of his shots, which what captured my eye in the first place.

Yesterday i had a bit of a play around on photoshop, trying to add a bit of colour to my images to make them a bit odd yet interesting. Even though the background is supposed to be boring on purpose so that the pieces of clothing stand out more and more focus is added on them rather than the background. I played around with the 'Polygonal Tool Lasso' selecting parts of my images and then using the 'Paint bucket tool' to fill in these selected parts of my images and then went on from there. These we're my turnout images. Nothings finalised as i'm on experimenting at the moment.
