Advice on Rauschenberg Composition

syke · 1 Mar 2007 at 19:34

Hello all,

At the moment i am trying to create an image in the style of Robert Rauschenberg, these using images of which i have taken. It is to show a 'journey' of which was on a specific route.

The images themselves are not great, but advice would be extremely helpful.

Here is the composition of which i have created so far, but not sure if i like it.

Please bare in mind it has not been completely tidied up yet. Just an idea so far:

Below are further images of which i could try combine into this.

However i am not sure :confused:

As well as that, i am also trying to decide on 2 images of the below to use on their own. The images were taken in very dull light, and very strong winds, which may explain some blur.

You might want to put some blocks of colour ontop of some of the areas of the images (square blocks etc). I've noticed hes' put his work on phone boxes, side of cars etc. You could try and work that into your work too. Perhaps take a photo of something you'd find on a street and then overlay your compersition around/over that. So it would then have a kind of street feel as well, perhaps taking a kind of Banksy influence too.

Doesnt have to be amazing for now.

That will be done in April.

Reason for this is that its for Exam Prep and thinking of a final composition [not the above].

Haha, its given me an idea for the final piece too.

Would you add anything to the above?

I have other copies, with less clutter too.

I think the best i could say would be to get a really good idea, and run with it. as said before, try and look at over meduims and bring them into play with your idea.
