Ideas...

We began to look at the signifiers and the research we found, to come up with ideas for our deconstruction of our piece, taking into account all signifiers we came up with different forms of media to use for our reproduction.
We came up with using sound to recreate 'starry night,' we had thought about the use a Dictaphone to record sounds, which we would then distort the actual sound into a different to the previous sound.

Another form of media that we came up with was a sculpture piece, creating a 3D sculpture out of clay. Looking at the style of Salvidor Dali, his work is extremely interesting as his images are not what the seem.
As the paint in Van Goghs piece is tight and close, we came up with the ideas of creating a sculpture that could be visual to everyone.
Looking as a viewer the art, would be different from each angle, for example could be totally different from looking at it up close as dose from a distance.

(mind map - photography)
We came up with a concept of using a collage of photographs, taking shots in a contemporary style. We wanted to look further into producing a photomontage as we all found that using photography for out deconstruction would work extremely well and engage with the audience.
To do this we looked into an artist, David Hockney.

His work is particularly attention-grabbing.

We had discussed all types of media that we could use to reconstruct 'starry night'
We came up with several layouts for our photomontage.
Having wanting to take images relating to our signifiers, we decided the actual photomontage back to the 'starry night'.
We thought of having photographs suspended from the ceiling to create a 3 dimensional look or alternatively having the photographs straight onto the wall influenced by Hockney but interpreting our own way.

We decided on the latter was more appealing at we thought it would give more of an impact to the audience.

We began using the images we had taken and started by placing them onto cartridge paper, to deiced where we would place them on to the wall. To make reference to starry night' we had incorporated a swirl as the central feature as it is in the original paining.


While discussing the layout we all wanted to include painting into the deconstruction based on the ideas that the original is a painting itself and how two different forms of medias would work as one.
We decided to paint around the photographs once they had been place on to the wall, this was our original idea, however we had experimented with also working on top of the images and found that this worked well.

IS PHOTOGRAPHY TAKING AWAY THE IMPORTANCE OF PAINTING?

HAS PHOTOGRAPHY OVERTAKEN PAINTING?

Other ideas we contemplated was using acetate sheets, to layer upon the images as layering was a technique appeared to be used by Van Gogh. We wanted to hang these in front of the photomontage to also give the 3 dimensional feel.
