Final Stage of Our Deconstruction

Final Outcome We began to put our final piece together by arranging and placing the photographs onto the wall. We started off with the centre of our image, creating, what we though, as a group was the most significant piece of Van Gogh’s painting. Using photographs of lights bending and curving, we created the swirl. When we worked around the swirl, we separate all the photographs we had taken between us into what we thought were suitable groups, creating a landscape section, town and sky section, what we thought were all quite significant parts of the painting. Using ideas that we had come up with amongst the group, we incorporated a small amount of painting in different ways, in a few subtle places, we added paint directly onto the photographs. We then painted onto acetate and hung these in front of our photomontage to add a sense of a 3-dimensional piece. Once we were happy with the arranged photos, it was suggested that we continued the photomontage onto the floor, too add more movement to the final piece. So we went ahead, and painted the floor white and arranged the photos. The idea then changed, to having the photos on a 'ramp', this would give an even better effect of movement.
