First Approach, Liquify
Second Approach, Cracking
Third Approach, Glitch
Fourth Approach, Burning
Fifth Approach, Polygons
OUTLINE OF THE 5 APPROACHES
![Page 5: Pecha kucha 11th jan](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a637241a28ab68118b52cf/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
RESEARCH: MEMORY, BY SAM HARVEY
➤ Influenced by his approach to the subject
➤ Concentrates on the slow decay and deterioration of memory
➤ Effective dissolving and distortion communicating subject clearly
![Page 6: Pecha kucha 11th jan](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a637241a28ab68118b52cf/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
APPROACH 1: LIQUIFYWhy? Use of movement
could explain denial of remembering a person
How? Digital manipulation in Photoshop using liquify
Successful: Distortion of face representing the plan of subject
![Page 7: Pecha kucha 11th jan](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a637241a28ab68118b52cf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
INFLUENCE: PORTRAIT IN A
BROKEN MIRROR ➤ Influenced a very different approach to my work
➤ Mirror creating repetition and distortion
➤ Could reflect actions such as anger with my subject of grief
![Page 8: Pecha kucha 11th jan](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a637241a28ab68118b52cf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
APPROACH 2: CRACKING Why? Idea discovered on
How? Cracked glass in front of lens
Successful: Distortion works effectively with subject, connoting depression
Unsuccessful: Didn’t receive expected results
![Page 9: Pecha kucha 11th jan](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a637241a28ab68118b52cf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
APPROACH 3: GLITCHWhy? Experiment I’ve
wanted to try
How? Digitally manipulated in Photoshop tweaking layers and colour range
Successful: Created an effective glitch
Unsuccessful: Show of colour is distracting
![Page 10: Pecha kucha 11th jan](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a637241a28ab68118b52cf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
RESEARCH: FAILED MEMORIES, BY DAVID SZAUDER
➤ Use of glitch displays mental deterioration
➤ Influenced development of second approach
➤ Interesting use of historical, past time photos
![Page 11: Pecha kucha 11th jan](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a637241a28ab68118b52cf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
DEVELOPMENT: APPROACH 3: GLITCHWhy? Influenced by David’s series & wanted to develop glitch
How? Digitally manipulated in Photoshop, using a template and zig zag
Successful: Glitch without colour less distracting & more effective

NOSTALGIA, BY LUCAS SIMÕES ➤ Colour strip
➤ ‘Erase a memory by burning it, so with time, the image that is burnt will disappear from your memory.’
➤ Interesting approach to express nostalgia

APPROACH 4: BURNINGWhy? Unpredictable outcome becomes more interesting
How? Physically destroyed catching the image on fire
Successful: Effective results created, connoting anger
![Page 14: Pecha kucha 11th jan](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a637241a28ab68118b52cf/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
RESEARCH: JULIE COCKBURN➤ Hand-alters found
portraits with embroidery, cut-outs or collage
➤ Manipulates only the human face
➤ Fascinating, delusional pieces of art
![Page 15: Pecha kucha 11th jan](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a637241a28ab68118b52cf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
APPROACH 5: POLYGONSWhy? Influenced by Julie’s
surreal altered photographs
How? Digital manipulation in Photoshop, cutting and replacing
Successful: Distorted effect, portraying denial of memory
Unsuccessful: Process would have worked better completed by hand
![Page 16: Pecha kucha 11th jan](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a637241a28ab68118b52cf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
➤ Most EngagingLearning and teaching myself how to complete digital processes in Photoshop➤ Most InterestingBurning creating unpredictable but fascinating results➤ Most SuccessfulFirst approach using liquify turned out as expected and fit the subject

➤ ChallengesEditing on Photoshop teaching myself different techniquesTrial and error with the unpredictable experiments➤ SuccessesPhotoshop edits turning out better than expectedReceiving successful pieces from unpredictable experiments
WHAT WERE THE CHALLENGES/ SUCCESSES?

➤ Considering physical manipulation for previous practice
➤ Also consider digital manipulation
➤ Go back and place a personal connection, see improvement
HOW HAS THE APPROACH YOU CHOSE EXTENDED OR CHALLENGED YOUR PREVIOUS PRACTICE
![Page 19: Pecha kucha 11th jan](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a637241a28ab68118b52cf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
WHICH APPROACH DID YOU CHOOSE AND WHY? HOW DID IT WORK WITH YOUR SUBJECT?➤ Approach 1: Liquify
➤ Most successful photo manipulation
➤ Applies to the subject of grief
![Page 20: Pecha kucha 11th jan](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a637241a28ab68118b52cf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
HOW HAS THE EXPERIENCE IMPACTED YOUR CREATIVE PRACTISE FOR THE FUTURE?
➤ Manipulate imagery physically as well as digitally
➤ Range of materials to experiment with in future projects
➤ Encouraged to explore and experiment, don’t just stick to the basics!
➤ Realising I’m most motivated when working with a personal connection with the subject
