Task List due Monday 7/12/15 BEFORE LESSON and Krieg research to

improve your analysis


1. Create mind-map using coggle
2. Wearing - These edits are a good start but now need to be refined to gain
marks for AO2 - make the contrast between the tones more extreme,
decrease the lighting to create a more sinister mood to reflect the tone of the
emotions being described.
3. What is this hidden message? What are you trying to say with them?
4. Wearing 2 - These a far superior to your original images, however your
edits are still not fully connecting with the atmosphere being explored. Look
back at Lewis Khan's intimate use of light and dark tones to give the
impression of an insider's view - a privileged snapshot into the honesty of
someone's life. Make your darker tones more dramatic and try to adjust the
levels to make the smallest details stand out.
5. Deutsch - Rethink your choice of enlargements - these are not
demonstrative of your greatest skill - your images should be accurate in
exposure, framing and focus. Again, you need to become more refined in your
editing skill - have an example of your artist's work in front of you as you edit
and try to match their key skills to show your own developing.
6. Krieg - You have not acknowledged all of the prompts within your word
frame and although what you have written is accurate (if not lifted from the
internet) you are not demonstrating your ability to read a photograph.
Complete the "form" and "content" box from your formal image analysis
template.
7. Krieg - In addition to these and the one you made in class, upload your 4
new edits, using the skills and processes I showed you in lesson.
8. Create 2 more contact sheets of images for your final piece - we discussed
having a singled out person standing still and isolated in a place of chaos and
energy - concerts, skate park, hang-out, party, etc.. Take shots surrounding
their body as you will be making these into GIFs. the more photos you have of
them the better.

Research on Krieg:
Form: - remember to choose an image of hers and
then describe it in as much detail as possible
colour, mood, placement, composition, what is
going on .

Still recognizable as figures but not as particular


individuals, the figures take on an iconic or representative
status, their surroundings are no longer a specific place
but a hazy atmosphere of artifacts and effects from each
stage of the image's transformation.
Process:
The unique look of the pictures in Carolyn Krieg's
Relics/Memory Maps and Snapshot series owes a great
deal to the unique process of making them. The exact
combination of steps varies from project to project, but in
general begins with a picture from her travels or family
archive that is then scanned to make a digital file.

My technique in creating these works mixes media,


cameras and film, beginning with my conventional
chemical or digital photograph. I then make a digital file
and generate a Polacolor print from it. I strip off the top
layer of that print (not something Polaroid recommends
because of the toxic chemicals), which is a positive
transparency. I can paint and draw on this transparency
with photo oil and ink, as well as scratch and erase. I print
from the transparency, using it in place of a negative in a
traditional color enlarger. I print on archival chromogenic
paper. My steps allow for fictional gain and
generational loss, similar to what happens when
experience moves from perception to memory.
Content:
My methods are a kind of metaphor for what my work is
about The transformation of a conventional chemical
photographic image allows for fictional gain and
generational loss, just like the formation of memories.
Carolyn Krieg
My work is about memory, exploring it and jogging the
collective memory. It is about mutations, the invisible and
states of being. I start with photography and may layer
and erase drawing, painting and resins -it can be a lengthy
process, creating a history with each piece-my focus is the

tension of opposites - the irony, humor, sadness and


beauty of a single moment and a memory.
The Relic/Memory Map series are about how iconic figures
affect awareness. My travels in India, Africa, Europe, Asia
and the Middle East inspired this series. Doing this series,
I'm thinking about beauty and its edge -- unstoppable
decay and regeneration.
In the Snapshot/InsideOut series I use personal and family
snapshots. I'm thinking about the
emotional/psychological/physiological relationship shared
between people who are intimately connected.
