Photomontage Look Again
This project took much reflection and thought about how I would do a photomontage and do an image hijack of a famous painting to create a self-portrait photomontage. I worked on sketches and project concepts for the photomontage. My direction is to take normal objects that I use every day and create my self-portrait reflecting my personality, interest and beliefs. I made sketches of a mirror which would then reflect images of myself. I then decided to take that concept and see if I could use other items around me. I love walking on the trails so I thought vines wrapping and twisting with images inside would be neat. Next I thought I could use my favorite coffee mug and show reflections in the liquid. The mailbox would be cool because it is symbolic of a place where news comes to your personal home which then I thought of a key hole looking out into the world but inside is myself. Finally my last concept idea was to take a book and have it open as a Pop-out showing my self-portrait.

02 Preliminary Sketch:
Vines wrapping: for this image I’d use the painting. The Olive Orchard, 1889 by Vincent van Gogh
in-between the vines. Plan would be to create vines in Photoshop or
Illustrator. The vision is the vines would wrap/cross each other as my
drawing shows.
03 Preliminary Sketch:
Mug: for this I’d combine the roses and the mug. The roses would be a background.
Painting Roses, 1890, by Vincent van Gogh inside the mug.
04 Preliminary Sketch:
Mailbox: for this I’d
use Farmhouse in Provence, 1888 by Vincent van Gogh.
The Farmhouse in Provence has leading lines which leads your
eye through the image.
05 Preliminary Sketch:
Key Hole: Looking through the key hole and you would see a photomontage.
I’d use Farmhouse in Provence, 1888 by Vincent van Gogh.
06 Preliminary Sketch:
Book: For this one I’d use the painting The Olive Orchard, 1889 by Vincent van Gogh. My intention is to draw a book that is open with a pop up of the painting.
