Year 9 semester two 2020 Hannah Hoch and photography

Welcome to semester two with Whaea Rowena. I really enjoyed our class today and thought I would take some time to clarify a few points today and make sure we had something rewindable from the day. 


Our Learning outcome was to make sure we had a basic understanding of Photomontage and what it was. We got so immersed in doing the work, I'm not sure we actually got back to that!

You possibly all know what a collage is:

Here is the definition I found online for it:

a piece of art made by sticking various different materials such as photographs and pieces of paper or fabric on to a backing.
  • the art of making collages.
  • a collection or combination of various things.
    "a collage of musical genres"

Here is an example of COLLAGE. 
How to Make a Paper Collage : 10 Steps (with Pictures) - Instructables

Photomontage is just the same in many ways, but you limit yourself (place a constraint) to printed media (materials for art). 

"Photo" indicates its mostly photographic printed media, but you can incorporate a few other bits and pieces and have it still considered a photomontage artwork; book pages, newspaper images. 


Here are some more examples of Hannah Hoch's photomontage work:

"Da-Dandy" 1919 by Hannah Hoch


"Die Braut" 1927 by Hannah Hoch

1930, "Untitled (Large Hand Over Woman’s Head)" by Hannah Hoch


The second thing I wanted to go back over, because I feel like it was too brief, is that we always make our files for art from within our art folder on google. That means they are 'born' there! This art folder 9Art-2 is shared directly to me, so I can always see your progress. It will look something like this:






If you haven't made your google doc poster from today in that folder, can you please move it there before Tuesday. 

On the google site over the weekend, I will put up a screencastify going back over the way we made the poster today. It would be fantastic if they were all finished by Tuesday, as I want you to get them up on your blog, with an explanation in that first 20 minutes of class so you can get straight into the practical work.
