Create > Hand-colored Photographs


Goal: Create works that incorporate both photographs and hand-painted additions

Studio Activity:
Option 1:  Be inspired by the works of Gerhard Richter > http://goo.gl/709vrE and paint directly onto photographs.  Spontaneously use gestural smears of paint to enhance and distort your images.  Use acrylic paint with non-traditional ‘brushes’ like fingers or wrappers paint thick lines that divide the composition or inject color into the image.  Use the tactile surface of the paint smear to your advantage and draw the viewer into your works.

Option 2:  Be inspired by the works of Fabienne Rivory > http://goo.gl/wKfIUF.  On a standard printer, print out copies of your images in black and white and apply ink or watercolours directly to the paper.

Option 3:  Be inspired by the works of Aliza Razell > http://goo.gl/ckcuSy  and redraw part of the image with paint, pencil or pen.  Similar to the other options, this technique involves more than applying painterly colors or textures to a work.  Aliza erases part of the photograph and fills it in with a hand painted image.  Most high school art students I know can also draw very well.  This technique can be a great way to show off multiple strengths.

Option 4: Glue a photo or magazine picture into your sketchbook. Extend the photo out by drawing the rest. You can draw it realistically or illustrate it cartoon-like.


Trigger Mechanisms: Expressionism, abstraction, analogy & metaphor

Reflect > Should I go back and rework anything?
  • How did you combine art elements (line, color, shape, texture, value)  to develop art principles? (Unity/variety, balance, emphasis contrast, rhythm, proportion/scale, figure/ground relationship)
  • Where are the dominant shapes, forms, colors, or textures that carry expressive significance?
  • Why Is the work ordered and balanced or chaotic and disturbing?
  • What gives the work its uniqueness?
  • Is symbolism used in the work to convey meaning other than what one sees?
  • Does the work evoke any feelings?
