- Paste images of dancers on to nature backgrounds
Result:
- For a start, the pairs put on to 12x9" backgrounds alone, centrally, were jarring to look at, and the background added even more visual confusion
Then:
- I started to combine the dancers together, with extra elements such as rocks and other drawn lines to try and balance it out
- I pasted the backgrounds in different ways, cutting them up and splicing together too.
- This lead to a LOT of variations and inevitably a lot of personal confusion. It got to the point where it was impossible for me to judge it because I had looked at it too long
- Some of the results were good but looked to harsh for the mood I was going for. Changing the colours to the creams and blues could tone it down. The collaged together backgrounds also offered more feminine and softer shapes that made the piece run a little smoother too.
- I was well and ready to re-do the whole thing, but getting the opinions of others helped no end. I've never been happy with anything I have submitted as a live project, so maybe a little more confidence is in order (though care and critical thinking will not be sacrificed).
And the final, as decided in co-operation with Forge and based on these points
