Slow shutter speed to create isolated blurring using a tripod.

Fast shutter speed to freeze a movement in the middle of an action.

APERTURE

Shallow DOF

When the focus is on one thing and everything else (usually the background) is blurred

Deep DOF

When everything is in focus

VANTAGE POINT

Vantage Point the subject is placed in the right hand corner and Deep DOF where everything is in focus.

2nd vantage point where the background is in focus and the foreground subject is blurred

3rd Vantage point taken. I actually like how the lines (seat, branches and tree trunks) all lead to the subject. 

RULE of THIRDS

Where the grass reaches the bush on the horizon line, and the tops of the shoulders. The left and right of the shoulders and the subject is the centre.

Research - Social Practice

It's been quite hard to research and find what I've been looking for in relation to the Art I want to make. I guess it's because quite possibly it's a new thing?




Social practice is an art medium that focuses on social engagement, inviting collaboration with individuals, communities, and institutions in the creation of participatory art.

I really like this photo. The sharing of food, the mixing of culture, the conversations

A collaboration - an interactive social project with food, hospitality and conversation.

I like the concept of using the clay from the site to fashion mugs for the workers at Smoko. The recycling of found material from the site the  giving back to the worker and a sense of paying it forward.

Again it's the thought of  eating food and having a conversation with people you don't know.

My Vision Board

 A vision board is a tool used to help clarify, concentrate and maintain focus on a specific life goal. Literally, a vision board is any sort of board on which you display images that represent whatever you want to be, do or have in your life.

This is a partial look at my Vision Board. 
I am a Painter
I am a Cook
I am a Photographer
I am trying to visualise where and how I can combine and use these 3 things to achieve a clear vision a conversation between all 3 and of where I see myself in the future and what I need to do to fullfil this while in class.

Kaupapa

Our Kaupapa whilst in class.



Make this place safe for us, so that we feel at home   (Place)

Don't worry be Happy                                                         (People)

Do unto me as you would have me do unto you           (Equipment)

Class starts at 9am in the student common room where kai (breakfast) will be available to those who wish to partake. 
At 9.30am as Kaitiaki (guardians) of  Z143 it is our choice as a class to ensure the commuter screens and desks are clean and that the room is free of rubbish.
Our class will begin with a role call and a chance to let our Lecturer know who is absent. 
We begin our class with a Waiata (Song/Hymn) lead by Joseph Tarei.

Waiata E toru nga mea, Ehara i te mea, Don't worry be hapy

E toru nga mea                     There are three things
Nga mea nu nui                    Very important things
E ki ana                                    as stated in
Te Paipera                              the Bible
Tumanako                              Hope
Whakapono                           Faith
Ko te mea nui                        and the greatest thing
Ko te Aroha                           Love
