Observational Drawing

This is the photo that I drew from the computer screen.

This is the photo that I chose to go over with a black
 permanent marker and a clear sheet.

This is the result after I'd gone over the photo and
 took the photo away.

Hannah Hoch - Self Review

What have we learnt in today’s lesson?

In the lessons that we have been doing, I have learnt that media can be shown in many different ways, including posters where you work out the message behind it yourself.

What does mixed media mean?

mixed media means a variety of media used in an entertainment or work of art.

What technique have we learnt

we have learnt that you can show a message through newspaper pieces and selected photos

How have you created tone into your collaged sections?

I have used different colours that make certain parts of the paper look darker or lighter.

What magazine page have you used to create the different patterns, textures?

I have used newspaper with PVA and layered it up to create different layers. I also used paper images that I printed out to create a certain image and to give it a smoother texture.

Dada Homework

Hanna Hoch work

These are the examples I created that were inspired by Hannah Hoch:

This one is based on materialism

This one is based on global warming

I think that I have shown that this is inspired by Hannah Hoch because I have used news paper cut outs and stuck them down with PVA glue. Also, I have tried to link things together and make certain items look distorted and unusual. 

Hannah Hoch - Research Post

Who was Hannah Hoch?

Hannah Hoch was a pioneer of the art that in later years came to be known as Photomontage. She was born in Germany. She was born in Gotha, one of the largest cities in Germany. 


She went to study glass design and graphic arts, in order to please her father, apposed to choosing fine arts. Then, WW1 started, so she came back Gotha and stopped school to come back and help with the Red Cross. In 1915, she returned to school where she studied graphics. Also in 1915, she became friendswith Raoul Hausmann, a member of the Berlin Dada movement.


These are some pieces of her work:

Stencil Work

This is my stencil:

These are the prints I made with it:

<-- This is my spray paint print

I made the stencil by tracing my design onto tracing paper and then onto card. Then, I  cut it out with a craft knife on a cutting mat.

Whilst making the prints, I used a sponge and a brush to make sure that everything was more defined and  clear.

I think I experimented with the different papers and materials well because I used a variety, however the colours I used were quite basic and weren't that interesting to look at. 

The stencil does reflect my concern, but it doesn't show it as well as I would've liked it to.

If I were to do this again, next time I wouldn't have so much writing because it was quite difficult to cut out.
