Working progress of mock up

This is a mock up i've put together to take in for our tutorial tomorrow, so that we can have a visual to discuss...

group meet

Okay so we had a group me and we all decided on taking a new on the project, inspired by the anti-political aspect in which Dada was based on,

we want to create a "found object" bored in three layers consisting on : the goverment
                                                                                                           the police
                                                                                                           the people
in that order or in its aposing order, every layer will be build one on time of the other with rips and teers in it
to see each layer this will include text and photo collarge,

Found off the internet, newspapers, and our own phtography, or people and ryates, we want it to be up to date, so using the goverment in power and recent student ryotes.

we also decided that if the photoshoot was going to take place that we will put an anatictic twist on the piece of us attacking the collarge or just being anakistic.

Girls makes some small collarges of the three and put then together we have to have stuff ready by the week before easter break for the making sessions

ill put more no soon

love bow

In the library

Looking for a book for printing I came across this-
The complete guide to altered imagery
All the examples are very bright but I thOught the techniques might be useful

For glossy photographs

1. Sand paper or and awl (not sure what this is but I imagine some of the knives I have for printing would do the same thing) to scrape away at photographs
Basically you dip the photo in water and then attack it to remove the surface either in large areas with the sandpaper or lines with the awl/sharp pointy thing

2. Using bleach
Removes the cyan layer of colour leaving only magenta and yellow (apparently)
How to- dip the photograph in water, then dip it into 50% bleach/water solution.(or apply with a paintbrush to areas) Rinse with water as soon as the colours start changing.
Wax (or stickers) can be used as a bleach resist. Some of the wax can be rubbed off in a waterbath. Alternatively cover it with paper and iron over it to remove all of it

For uni printers-
If you put clear tape over the image ad ten dissolve the paper in water you will be left with the image on the tape!

Collage techniques
Paper chains
Paint (White emulsion!)
Newspaper
Sewing
Found objects?

This might be useful once we have our photos :)

Here's the idea

So here's my idea, obviously they wont be draw (unless you like that) but I just didn't have a printer to hand....

Alice

So I was having a little think....

I had this idea that I thought I would get your opinions on...

How's about for the exhibition as its coming up soon we should get massive portraits of the UK political leaders and other people and deface them.

like silly little things; moustaches, glasses.

I'll get some ideas together and put them up on here but I thought I should share the idea before I forget it

Alice

OMG!!!!!

i was talking to my landlord Greg...and we went to the biggest DADA exhibition in london...and we an original HUGE!!!! brochure from the exhibition in March 23 1978...im bring it into uni and it will be amazing :)

Bordom makes the best of things

So i got a magnifying glass today and i wanted a new DP picture that wasnt a drawing for face book....what better then the really cool magnifying glass,......well i was doing my thing...being as sad as i am...and low and behold....what comes out as im about the take the picture is this....i love this and thought it would be perfect for the DADA project......the glass looks like a sort of landscape of some sort or very surrealist which is very very cool...which links back to what jo was saying about also working with surrealisium
