Art Theory - S2 week 1 - 8/07/2019

Decisive moments The biggest connection between all the artist, is a lot of their work is personal and is a lot of impulse on to be understood or a desire to  communicate something they see in their head or seen. though no matter how many times we communicate it it doesn't seem to e enough or get across.

I do see this idea being expanded and can be developed into a more refined project. I would also like to revisit this project and further investigate the textured photos and how to capture running water. I would have liked to experiment with the collage style of photography but I do think the blending of the flowers is more aesthetics though could easily have been developed and expanded more. ...
