Balance

Something we have not covered yet is balance, this terms refers to the weight a subject has within an image, the following paragraph explains this better...

Balance is a compositional technique in photography that juxtaposes images within a frame so that the objects are of equal visual weight. When different parts of a photo command your attention equally, perfect balance is achieved. In photography, there are two main techniques of balance you should be aware of: formal and informal. We’ll discuss the difference between each and how they can affect your photo.

It's essentially a composition element that looks at the weight a subject has across the overall image. 

Formal balance can be defined as symmetrical balance. All you have to do is frame the shot so that one or more identical or similar subjects are repeated symmetrical on each sides of a given point.

Informal balance is a less obvious form of balance in photography and requires more attention. It’s a concept that can be difficult to be specific about because it can be achieved in a variety of ways. Simply put, informal balance occurs when dissimilar elements balance each other out on each side of the frame. The size of each element can be irrelevant, but more often than not it’s better to have a larger element juxtaposed with a smaller element or elements to make a good composition.

What is the best way to compose this photograph?

Task:

1. Look at your old photographs, pick one and have a go at analysing making sure to cover  balance in your analysis.
2. Make your own notes on balance and how to use it in your work

Assessment Objectives

Pick an artist

Objective:

• To gain an understanding of the artists that have worked in a similar theme
• To appreciate how a theme can provoke and artistic response

In order to create an ace sketchbook of amazing work, you will need to research both contemporary and historical artists that have worked in a similar theme to you.

Task:

Use this list of artists and find out about their work within this theme.  Remember that an artist may not have only worked in this theme and the work you see might just be one part of their wider repertoire.  Complete the following tasks

• Insert at least 2 images of the artists work into your sketchbook
• Annotate the work noting down details outlined within analysis questions
• Discuss your own thoughts about the work and how you think it relates to your theme
• Discuss how you may draw inspiration from the work
• Discuss how the artist developed the piece of work and what was their inspiration.

Deadline: 19/01

Mood Board

Task: Create a moodboard

Collect images that you think relate to your theme and make a page of work from other artists, magazine images or even some of your own work that you think closely matches your theme.  The images will need to be annotated so you will need to think about a way to show the following:

1. why have you chosen this image?
2. what do you like about this image?
3. how will this image influence your work?

Each image you have chosen will need to be discussed, DO NOT USE THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AS HEADINGS, just discuss them when annotating your mood board.

Deadline: 10/01

Mind Map

Task:

To create a mind map that demonstrates your theme and shows different artists and techniques you could use in your project throughout the year.

Take a look at the examples below:

DEADLINE: NOW!

Component 1 checklist

Well done on your beautiful mind maps.  Remember that an all sketchbook component 1 will make it easier to reach a higher marks than a digital portfolio, this is because some of the marking criteria require drawing and hand made work which lends itself to sketchbook work more than digital only work.

But I have already created a component 1 Google Slides Document!

Yes, this is right, and to be honest I think the best way to work would be to use this to plan your sketchbook pages before you commit to the pages of the book.  You can write down stuff, place images and upload your photos before you add them to your book.

What should be in my component 1?

So far your component 1 will contain the following pieces:

1. mind map
2. annotated mood board
3. Analysed one of the artists from the list

These may not all be in your sketchbook yet, but they should at least be on your slides.
