I took multiple pictures of a chair and merged them together to create this image so it looks like i've just take a picture of the chair
when I have actually put it together like a puzzle and I used photo shop to do this.

Almar haser - Cosmic Surgery
Born in 1989 into an artistic family in the Black Forest, Germany, Alma Haser is now based in London and on the southeast coast. She is known for her complex and meticulously constructed portraiture, which are influenced by her creativity and her background in fine art. Alma creates striking work that catches the eye and captivates the mind. Expanding the dimensions of traditional portrait photography, Alma takes her photographs further by using inventive paper-folding techniques, collage and mixed media to create layers of intrigue around her subjects; manipulating her portraits into futuristic paper sculptures and blurring the distinctions between two-dimensional and three-dimensional imagery. Alma has won many awards for her work, including Magenta Foundation's Bright Spark Award in 2013 for her Cosmic Surgery series (also the basis of a successful self-published book project). Her piece The Ventriloquist was shortlisted for the Taylor Westing Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery in 2012. Alma also won the PDN Photo Annual Award in 2016 for her Eureka Effect series. Her work has been exhibited worldwide and recent venues have included the 2017 Saatchi Gallery show From Selfie to Self-Expression. Examples of her work are currently on show at the Now Gallery in Greenwich, London. Alma’s current projects include the Twin Puzzle series, delving into her fascination with identical twins, their genetics and how to distinguish them. She’s also been working on her Plant series; an exploration of what is real and what is manufactured, through using her unique paper collage and re-photographing techniques.
My response

Kehinde Wiley
Kehinde Wiley is an African-American portrait painter based in New York City, who is known for his highly naturalistic paintings of Black people, frequently referencing the work of Old Master paintings. Wiley’s larger than life figures disturb and interrupt tropes of portrait painting, often blurring the boundaries between traditional and contemporary modes of representation and the critical portrayal of masculinity and physicality as it pertains to the view of black and brown young men. Initially, Wiley’s portraits were based on photographs taken of young men found on the streets of Harlem. As his practice grew, his eye led him toward an international view, including models found in urban landscapes throughout the world – such as Mumbai, Senegal, Dakar and Rio de Janeiro, among others – accumulating to a vast body of work called, “The World Stage.”
The models, dressed in their everyday clothing most of which are based on the notion of far-reaching Western ideals of style, are asked to assume poses found in paintings or sculptures representative of the history of their surroundings. This juxtaposition of the “old” inherited by the “new” – who often have no visual inheritance of which to speak – immediately provides a discourse that is at once visceral and cerebral in scope.

Fragmented buildings
Patrick Cornillet
Patrick Cornillet is a French architectural painter born in 1968 in France. Cornillet resides and works in Nantes.
His recent work features austere constructions in empty surroundings. Fragments of architecture left in the center of the painting, in suspense by its visitors. His works capture their spectators in an illusory space. Because of this the viewer struggles to give an interpretation to these concrete structures. Unclear is if these structures have ever served a purpose other than confusing its viewers.
Cornillet’s more recent work can be viewed as ‘severe’ or ‘naked’. Similar to his previous work a feeling of motion is perceived in these structures. These images evoke the ruins of a fallen society, standing as naked as fragmented.

Mauren Brodbeck
Mauren Brodbeck, a Swiss multi-sensory artist and singer-songwriter, uses visual and auditory elements to create startling reinterpretations of common objects and experiences. Her multidimensional works invite her audience to step outside their safe and familiar realities and reconsider their relationships with the people and environments around them. Brodbeck's arts education began at the Collège de Saussure in Geneva, where she focused on the visual arts-drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, and videography. After graduation, she moved to the Pacific West Coast for several years, first attending the Vancouver Film School in Canada for a diploma in film production, and then going on to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Southern California. As a student at ArtCenter, she gained international attention when her work was selected for inclusion in the inaugural "reGeneration, 50 Photographers of Tomorrow" global travelling exhibition, curated by a committee from the Musée de l'Elysée in Lausanne, Switzerland. Brodbeck's pieces can be found in a number of private, public, and museum collections. Brodbeck's current works focus on the concepts of identity, authenticity and territory, exploring the gap between reality and fantasy and reinterpreting common experiences to reshape our stories and emotions. She is also the creator of Raw and Radical, a project focused on inspiring, connecting, and supporting women artists including a series of podcasts. When not immersed in her artistic pursuits, she writes and spends time with her family at their home in Geneva.
How I did it: You select your chosen picture of a building and you use the polygonal tool to cut it out and you go to colour and fill it in with the colour of your choice.

Malick Kebe
Malick Kebe is a curator of new ideas and inspirations. Malick dreams of putting Abidjan on the map. Through the lens of his iphone and thanks to his minimalist vision, he was able to create his own identity by building a universe that he perfectly masters, mixing modernity and his African origins. Since last January, Malick has shared his works, via his Instagram account "From Abidjan", which aroused the interest of the biggest ones, notably Apple in April 2019 with his device #shotoniphone.
This consecration pushed "From Abidjan" to the front of the scene by allowing him to exhibit his creations in Atlanta (United States), Paris (France) and in Abidjan at the French Institute of Ivory Coast, finally in Zanzibar in Tanzania.
In July 2019, Malick won the first Mobile Photography award from PHmuseum photography, in the “Fashion” category.
Between Abidjan and the rest of the world, there is only one step. This is what Malick advocates through his achievements.

Preparation for mock
Todays idea I am going to edit the colour of pictures and create them into gifs to reflect the colour change but depth and level into the actual picture. Overall I created some nice home images and edited them in class, the gif I created is pleasing to the eye and a perfect way to create ideas leading up to my mock. I am stuck between doing a coloured silouette and have the head blurry or combining my two artists, Gordan Magnin and Malick Kebe.
Helmo artist
Thomas Couderc and Clement Vauchez, better known as Helmo, are the talented graphic design/photography/all-around-creative duo out of France.

They were created by HELMO,a fFrench artistic duo comprised of Thomas Couderc and Clément Vauchez.
development in preparation for mock
I am going to use these pictures to create the helmo artist effect as seen above. I want to blend these pictures to create an abstract and cool image. I am going to edit these in photoshop and over the day tomorrow I am going to try nail it perfectly so I can get the best possible outcome of my images and ideas. I will take screenshots of my progress and show the development and the final outcome of the entire mock and piece.
Mock Exam
These are the two pictures that I decided to use to show the process of how I did my idea.
Step by step
Talking through it:
To start of you open photoshop and click file, once you've done that it should bring up open and you click open and select two portrait images you took and put them on separate layers. Once that is complete you select the 'rectangular marquee tool' and select one of your images, then you click copy and then paste the selected image onto the other image. When that is done you then click your right click and hover over one of the layers and the option 'blending options' will appear and when you see it click it and then click on the R and that should make your image appear red and blue and your layers will merge. You then click ok and then flatten the image and save onto your computer to then paste onto your weebly.
Outcome:
