You have created a lino print and Mock Exam work which features buildings & urban spaces. The second stage of the project is to develop a personal response to the starting point ‘Sense of Place’. AT LEAST 30 PHOTOGRAPHS MUST BE TAKEN READY FOR 1ST SEPTEMBER (SAVE & PRINT IF POSSIBLE). A SHEET(S) OF THUMBNAIL PHOTOGRAPHS IS PERFECT FOR SHARING YOUR RESEARCH or save onto a USB and bring in. This was an exam question in 2012. AS WITH ALL EXAM QUESTIONS IT IS OPEN TO A PERSONAL RESPONSE; Question 1 – Sense of Place Many artists create work inspired by their feelings for particular places. The Camden Town Group recorded everyday scenes of urban life. Photographers John Davies and Raymond Moore responded to the starkness of both urban and industrial landscapes. You could explore; a) urban landscape b) industrial landscape c) natural landscape d) two or more of those landscapes or just a place*. You MUST think about how the place makes you feel and try to express this in your work (uplifted and happy, crowded and claustrophobic, sad and melancholy, a sense of peace and tranquillity?). Then consider how you can capture your feelings in the photographs you take, THINK - Subject – Camera angle – Time of day – Weather conditions *Alternatively you might choose not to focus on a landscape and instead it could be an interior of a private place (the corner of a room, shed, a place in your garden) or public place (a workplace, a church, a school, a favourite park bench, the street where you grew up, a local space in the community where you meet friends etc.). You might include a person/people in your work. Instead objects might be used to refer to a person e.g. a favourite armchair. Special places often have associations with significant memories / past events / people. Due to this certain places can be an important part of our identity. You might focus on a location which is where ‘you can be you’. Explore what it is about that place that makes it so unique and special. However, if you prefer, you can explore somebody elses’ ‘Sense of Place’. A friend, parent, grandparent or a person who you know well and is important in your life. You could subvert the theme and explore then create a response to feeling ‘Out of place’ or create a dual ‘Sense of Place / Out of Place’ image. GOOD LUCK! Edward Hopper is an American artist who created atmospheric scenes often with a single figure. Charles Sheeler (an American Precisionist artist) created paintings York is not the best location for of industrial scenes often composed industrial subjects to by combining several photographs. photograph. Try walking along The paintings do not feature humans the Foss or Hungate. Tadcaster, and are eerily silent. Leeds or Manchester are great places to visit and photograph. Two inspiring mixed media landscape & seascape studies by Cornish artist Kurt Jackson; Paul Gauguin (a French Post-Impressionist artist) created a new life in Tahiti. His colour use suits the light of this Polynesian Island. If you are lucky enough to go abroad on holiday you could take photographs inspired by his landscapes and figurative pieces. Claude Monet created a garden which he painted over and over again at different times of the day and seasons. Gardens have inspired many artists and provide an inspiring, colourful starting point………Rowntrees Park? The Museum Gardens? Your garden? La Collioure in France inspired landscapes by Andre Derain, Pierre Bonnard & Henri Matisse J W Whistler created Nocturne paintings of the river Thames in London at Perhaps you have been or twilight.

This is your opportunity to take photographs which will provide the starting point for your personal project in September.
