With these processed images I wanted to go away from just replicating the reference image as I felt I was doing that in my last two images. I have also explored different materials and ideas. Like in my ballerina image I focused on one silhouette that was in this case the shape of the dancer. I used pastel to play with the negative and positive space and changed them to get an almost opposite image. I focused on the colour blue in these images as there is blue seen on her bow and I was drawn to it so I emphasised it. In the fabric image, I struggles to come up with processed images so I decided to focus on the texture of the fabric. Again this blue drew me in so I reused it. I feel like my images are becoming more suited to the brief. I just need to continue to not focus on what it looks like.
These works in response to Degas study of a dancer are interesting. You’ve worked with speed and thought about volume and negative space. You are drawn to the delicate, how might you communicate that with line? Great start! Keep it up.
