Viewpoint & Depth- 3 Figures


Here is my response to this task that I did in the print room. It was really difficult to translate what I had on paper onto the copper plate as you could not really see what you were drawing and once you had made a mark, you could not erase it. I don't like my outcome but I feel that this task has helped me learn about this process and the pro's and con's of it whilst teaching me about composition of an image. 

The viewpoint and depth session itself was a very interesting and challenging session. Viewpoint and depth is something that can 'make or break' an image. I have found from this session that I naturally want to draw things sideways on instead of a more dynamic and interesting angle- I definitely need to focus more to overcome this.  

Depth can give the illusion of distance in the image, it allows the viewer to relate to the image more. Viewpoint can give insight to the viewer themselves, dominant figures may show importance in the image and vice versa. 




I particularly like the one above, I like the mix of depths of the subject paired with the 'rule of thirds' that I have tried to incorporate. I feel this image could work as my chosen composition.
