Looking at my original photos I have become conscious of simply copying the motifs and patterns that I see. Although they are beautiful I don't want to be re-creating them but more take the shapes and using them differently. It was suggested that I look at what it was about the images that I liked and the different motifs in them and, use that to create a list of keywords to do more work from. I came up with a range of words which I then categorised as the following:<\/p>\n

Religion, Roman\/Grecian\/Mythical<\/p>\n

Grand\/Opulent\/Intricate\/Period<\/p>\n

Fruit\/Leaves\/Flowers\/Animals<\/p>\n

Historic\/Moody<\/p>\n

Scrolls\/Geometric\/Gold\/Draping<\/p>\n

Flow\/Patterns\/3D\/Structure\/Uniform\/Angular\/Precision<\/p>\n

Perspective<\/p>\n

I will be using these words to influence not only my next drawings and paintings but also for when I start producing design ideas. I started with 'moody' and created my own photoshoot with leaves and fruit which both appeared within my original imagery. \u00a0These are some of my favourite photos from the shoot:<\/p>\n

\"DSC02021\" \"DSC02007\"\u00a0\"DSC01941\"<\/p>\n

I placed the objects onto reflective card to create shadows and exaggerate the shapes which tied in with the other side of my project.<\/p>\n

\"DSC01962\"\u00a0\"DSC02038\"<\/p>\n

I also looked at using the same objects to look at 'uniform' and make them look a bit like fruit stalls where everything is placed in groups and lines.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02049\"<\/p>\n

Finally I placed some of the fruit into water and some behind it to look at how this distorted the shapes. I really like this idea of distorting as it changes the appearance so that it isn't so literal.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02092\" \"DSC02077\"<\/p>\n

I was also recommended this video which having now watched has some resemblance to my moody still life images.<\/p>\n
