Collage

After looking at Don Eldon's collages I wanted to create something that was a clear visual story with no words. I at first planned to put in a cut out that said 'not thinking' but I lost it, and realized that the piece was actually much stronger without it. The cover of a times magazine was this thing called a 'humming bird drone' flying away and i wanted to comment on the environmental path the world was going down. I think that if I saw humming birds disappearing and a post apocalyptic wasteland were to ensue, you would see something similar to my collage.

Multi frame graphic notations

 When I did this project I tried to imagine a composition of multiple photos, each one being a separate part of the song. I also envisioned the various frames as different instruments that could be incorporated into the final score. Focusing on similarities but underlying contrasts in the multiframe pictures conveyed a sense of harmony but also variation that would help create a cohesive musical composition.

Graphic Notation- Set 1

When shooting the graphic notation assignment I focused on identifying various elements in one picture. By doing this i was trying to locate multiple aspects of the photo that could ultimately be interpreted as multiple aspects of a musical composition. While variety is not always the goal of a picture, music has several components involved to create a unique and specific sound. Because of that i thought my photos should reflect that structure and have many different facets to it to make musical interpretation easier.
