Light Painting Contact Sheet

As the end of the project is getting nearer, I am starting to think about what I would like to do for the final piece, and how to achieve it. All my main work towards this project has been focused around light painting, taking long exposure photographs in the dark waving around a light to

Peer Evaluation

Overall, my peers have graded me a Merit for my work so far in project 2. This first assessment grid shows that my two areas to improve are understanding how visual language and visual language skills inform art and design activities, and to be able to plan, develop and present an art and design project.

Project 2 Idea

After going up to the studio this week and experimenting with the LED light stick taking long exposure photographs, I thought of a way I could link that to the idea I had for this project about linking colour to music, as a way of visually representing sound and music. When I was in the

Paint Splatter Shoot

LED Light Photography Contact Sheet

Although there are’t really that many, I really enjoyed shooting this set of photographs and I found the LED Light stick or ‘Lightsaber’ really fun to work with. The way I created these photographs was by getting the model to stand completely still in front of the camera, while another person waves the lightsaber behind

Project 2 Ideas

For Project 2, I have been doing a lot of research into different ways to visually represent music. I have been exploring many different photographers’ work to try and find inspiration for my own ideas when it comes to shooting my own work in the next few weeks of this project. For my first idea,

LED Drumming Photos

Overall, I really enjoyed shooting this set of images, although there aren’t that many. For this shoot, we got a Drummer from the music department to play the drums in the dark with some LED Drumsticks that lit up different colours every time you hit them on a drum, which was really interesting to work
