ABC Assignment

  ABC Assignment

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK! I will first start by saying that I had SOOOO much fun with this assignment! At first I was thinking of photographing items, or a theme, related to each letter of the alphabet. Then I decided I was going to actually photograph the alphabet, in a unique and creative way!

I had two ideas:

1. paint the alphabet on my face

2. paint the alphabet on canvases then create a mini-wall mural within my house

------------------------------------------

I decided to go with #1! I wanted to paint my face all up!

The Results

I created a contact sheet so to sat, of all the photos. I then printed it on 18inches by 24 inches to display in class. I thought this would be the most rational way to display it. Although, printing 4 by 6 prints would have been good too. This way they are all in one location and I do not have to pin each one up!

YES, the B is backwards! I also realized the Q is too! I decided to leave it like this because it speaks a little to the process. At first, I struggled to make sure it was the right way (dyslexia maybe?) and thought the first few were all backwards. Turned out only the B was. Pheeew!

Below are some of my favourite ones:

The Learnings

I had  blast with this assignment, and I hope to utilize some of the techniques I used, and body painting specifically, for future photo opportunities. This helped me see my art and my approach in a whole new way, and I am very grateful for it!
