In this task, you will be creating an imaginary portrait made up of different faces using images that you have taken and edit them together in Adobe Photoshop. You will be working in response to the artists John Stezaker, who uses cut up postcards and photos of classic celebrities and film star. You can see some of his work below: You will need to edit your photographs in Adobe Photoshop using layers and the move and marquee tool to cut out shapes and move them around. Your teacher will give you a demonstration. If you have not got your own images, use some of these below: Belowis an example of how you could experiment with your own surrealist portraits using Photoshop:

In response to the Surrealists drawing game know as 'exquisite corpse (EC)', pupils will construct their own EC using found images from the Internet to produce a collage that can then be worked into. Process 1. Start with a simple game of consequences to illustrate how they can combine their imagination to produce a unique EC. 2. Prepare a range of photocopied image of body parts ranging from the human body to insects/animal parts and fictional characters such as zombies and superheroes. You can also include images of everyday objects, mechanical parts and natural forms. Ask pupils to cut out shapes and experiment with different combinations onto an A4 sheet of paper. After a few experiments, they should start sticking down their final composition using glue. 3. Using tracing paper, pupils should trace over their collage using fine liner pens adding a variety of marks from hatching, cross-hatching and stipling techniques to build up a complex image. 4. Photocopy and enlarge the tracing paper pen illustration to A3 size on drawing cartridge paper (thicker than normal paper). 5. Pupils should work back into photocopies using watercolours. Extension
For pupils that wish to develop this further, they could work towards a large scale drawing using fine liners - see examples below. An initial sketch could be enlarged using an overhead projector if they wish to scale up an existing image or even layer images. |
