Hello. This week we took a look at photography & using Photoshop - which is always fun. I took some shots of a fake plant & decided to practice & play with the light, contrast & brightness of the artwork. This is the sort of bright and playful style I am going for in my final piece.
We also looked at the artist Gregory Crewdson, whose work I found very interesting. I like the way he presents his artwork to be eerie & almost fake, like a film set with stiff, manikin-like characters. His works remind me of the film, House of Wax. Again, his work relates to my final piece, as I'm wanting the young woman in my film to be stiff & doll-like.

Also this week, I found an artist who had combined the Blythe doll that I am using with the Alice in Wonderland style that I am going for. She goes by the name, Blonde Blythe. This is her work.... http://blondeblythe.tripod.com/id39.html


P.S - I'm still waiting for my Blythe doll to arrive and I'm also searching for a really cool tea-party set. Till next blog. XxX
