Thursday - 31st August

This lesson, I tried updating my blog with photoshop edits of my photos that I took during the weekend, but Blogger wouldn't upload my photos.

Monday 21st August - What did I achieve today?

This lesson, I created a mind map for the ideas for my Cartier inspired artwork. After that, I was finished and I decided to revisit some of my older work in photoshop.

This lesson, I continued work on the PDM Research Booklet. However, I got stuck on PRACTICE - ART CRITICISM and PRACTICE - ART HISTORY.

Wednesday 19th July

I have started my research for my project and have decided on a French humanist photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson.  He is considered a master of candid photography and an early user of 35mm film. He pioneered the genre of street photography.

Here is some of his work:
