October 12, 2009Infinite Photograph – As Seen on Earth
A colleague shared this link with me that I think you might find interesting. It is a photo-mosaic portrait of the Earth. They select photographs submitted to “My Shot” and put them into the format so you can mosaic them with a click of the mouse. Interestingly enough they call the page Green Guide for Everyday Living.
Chuck Close
Many art teachers have done a lesson or unit based on the large portrait work of Chuck Close. Seems today we find photographers using technology to create his type of work. We all know there is quite a difference in the process but it makes me pause and wonder about this type of artmaking in today’s world. What do you think?
In Chuck’s words: “I am going for a level of perfection that is only mine… Most of the pleasure is in getting the last little piece perfect.”
