Homework: Jim Shaw
Jim Shaw is an American artist who has created distorted drawings of himself and famous people . He does this by first cutting into photos and chopping them up to rearrange them. He then makes new photo collages from these, and then works from this new image to create hyper-real , yet twisted portraits .Some are symbolic depictions—such as that of Ronald Reagan whose face is literally haunted by figures from the American culture of violence (Charles Manson, Rambo, etc.)—and Hollywood subjects. We thus rediscover the stylistic and anthropological range of the approach of Jim Shaw, that formidable reader of his country’s popular culture, from which he extracts perverse scenarios with a disquieting realism.
Born 1952 in Midland, Michigan, Jim Shaw lives and works in Los Angeles. Task

Homework: Photocollage 2- 'A Day in the Life'
Photograph someone in an environment, completing an everyday task: eating, gardening, washing up, brushing their teeth, working etc.
Make sure that you photograph the full figure and close ups of your subject in different positions. Also photograph the surrounding scene, the objects they use, the small details we might overlook. Look at the example by Phillip Toledano on the right from his series, 'Days with my Father'. |
These photographs can then be enlarged and reduced to create a photocollage similar to the painting below by Richard Patterson. You can see some areas are clear and crisp, other parts are blurred or abstract sections of a bigger picture.
