Photographic note taking, (exercise 3)

The task
The task from last week suggested your chosen objects could be considered the site for experimentation and proposed some ways of investigating different ways of seeing your materials through experimentation in different modes.

This week the task focuses on the collection of ephemeral information from the larger landscape that you occupy as an artist. The mode for this activity is photographic and consists of two stages

1. Using a digital camera ( cellphone is fine, if that is what you have available) take pictures of the physical world as you come across things that interest you. The focus should still be on objects that exist in a landscape. This photography is intended as moving your ideas about your larger project forward. The images you take should therefore relate to this project in a way you can articulate to the group.

You might choose to look for things which could be seen as connected to your starting point or these new images could act as a counterpoint or way of looking that runs contrary to the process that you are already involved in.

2.Having taken photos( twenty could be a good number to aim for, but this is up to you), select a final group to present together as thumbnails on a single A4. How you organise the images should be suggestive of the interest they hold for you.

Please have this printed in time for the Thursday class.
