Create > Photography Quilts (Sew, Embroider or Stitch)

Goal: Create a series of images that are sewn on or stitched together.

Studio Activity:

-Option 1:  Be inspired by the stitched vintage photography of Maurizio Anzeri >  http://goo.gl/u4b6Q0  Maurizio sews directly into found vintage photographs.  She incorporates brightly embroidered patterns and delicately stitched veils that cross the faces with sharp lines and dramatic glimmering forms.  I suggest that you use your own photographs.

-Option 2:  Be inspired by the works of Lisa Kokin > http://goo.gl/SpIq08  She takes found, unrelated photographs and stitches them together.  Because the images are stitched together a forced relationship between them is created and a whole new narrative can be imagined.     

Trigger Mechanisms: Combine, Manipulate, Link

Reflect >

Did I achieve the goal?

• Goal: Create a series of images that are sewn on or stitched together.

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?
