Where to save your photography competition entries - confirmation!

 

(V:) CENTRAL (EREBUS) > ART > PHOTOGRAPHYCOMPETITIONENTRIES folder

EWS PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION GUIDELINES

1. Your photograph should be of something that looks like any kind of face (but is not intentionally a face!) It can be 'found' or 'made'. 

We will leave the creativity up to you!

2. The photograph can be taken using any camera, even a mobile phone. You don't need to have technical knowledge or use specialist equipment - anyone from EWS can join in! Just try to make sure the image is good quality. 

3. The photograph should be saved as a JPEG file. You need to rename the file with your full name and form - eg: JaneSmith10RBY.jpeg or MissBoyle.jpeg

4. You need to save your photograph in the 'Photography blog competition' folder.

You will find this in Central > Departments > Art > Photography blog competition. Drag your photograph in to the folder. Make sure you rename your file before you drag it in. You won't be able to do anything with the file in that folder except for save it. We will then upload the images to the blog.

5. All photographs must be taken by yourself. You will need to prove this if required. The easiest way to do this is to take a photo of yourself with your 'found face'. You do not need to upload this to the folder, just keep it saved. If you win, you will be asked to show this evidence to the panel!

6. The closing date for entries is Friday 13th July so you only have two weeks. Winners will be announced in the last week of term.

We look forward to seeing the entries! Good Luck.

Can you guess what the 'narratives' could be? 


(Clue: one of the images is inspired by a famous play that you may have studied in English!)

We're back!

It has been a busy year in the Art department but we're back and we've got lots of fantastic photography to share with you. Keep an eye out for student's photographs and films, interesting links and that competition we've been planning - coming soon!

Something else making a comeback is The Photographers' Gallery which has just re-opened
http://thephotographersgallery.org.uk/
It is the 'largest public gallery in London dedicated to Photography' and is only minutes from Oxford Circus. It is housed in a brand new building and is free to enter!

AS-level pinhole cameras

The AS-level girls have been making their own pinhole cameras and have come up with some great results; here are their images. Follow the simple steps and see if you can make your own pinhole camera.

Photographer's Talk

The AS Level Photography class and the A Level Art class were invited to attend a presentation today by the following three photographers:

Dannie Price       http://www.dannieprice.co.uk/

Rachel Vogeleisen      http://rachelvogeleisen.com/

Günther Worth     http://www.guenther-worth.com/ http://www.guenther-worth.com/

The photographers are MA graduates of the University of West London and recently showcased their diverse work at the ‘Instantia’ exhibition at PM Gallery, Ealing Broadway.

The photographers presented their work and gave insight in to their personal practice. Students had the opportunity to be introduced to new ways of working and look at some very interesting cameras! Hopefully this has got year 12 and 13 considering their own creative futures...

We worked with the PM Gallery last year to create photographs with Year 8. The gallery is a fantastic local art space!

Miss Boyle would like to thank Dannie, Rachel and Günther for taking their time to visit and inspire us at EWS!

Discuss this accusation:


"Photography is too instant and effortless to be real art."

Britain's Photographic Revolution

An interesting article from The Guardian:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2011/oct/30/v-a-photographs-gallery-tate?INTCMP=SRCH

"The September issue of the art magazine Frieze ran a glossary of "keywords" in contemporary art and culture. Under "Photography" the compilers wrote: "The first photograph was produced in 1826. In 2009 Tate advertised the following job for the first time: Curator (Photography and International Art). Discuss." 

The question invited was: why had it taken so long for photography to be viewed as a serious art form in Britain? The Museum of Modern Art in New York, for instance, appointed its first curator of photography, Beaumont Newhall, in 1940."
