Research Task: Aaron Siskind

 Hi Everyone, 

Today I would like to present you my last research for my media project

Name something you have researched for your project?

I have researched abstract photographer Aaron Siskind 

Explain how you researched this?

I looked on the internet for some articles about Abstract Photographer I found some informations about Aaron Siskind and it's quite interesting person. I found some articles about him an his story and how he decided to start doing photography.

What facts did you discover?
- Aaron dedicated himself to photographing details of nature and architecture, with a focus on the texture, lines and patterns.
-Siskind found emotional joy and tension in the process of discovering subjects and photographing them.
-Siskind turned away from the social/political world post-World War II, and instead looked inward to seek meaning in the mostly inanimate forms he observed around him.
-He won many awards for his photography, including a Guggenheim, Fellowship and Distinguished Photography Awards from the Friends of Photography. 

What NEW conclusion did you establish?
I haven't found much information to help me deduce anything new, but looking at his photography and style it's something I'll definitely be following for my project, hopefully copying his work a little.

How does it apply to the project?

In my own project I would like to make abstract photos of building and architecture as well so I will have a look at his work and I will try to use some of his skills in my final project.

WELCOME IN TERM 3

 HI EVERYONE  Thank you for visiting my blog again. My name is Simon Tkacz and I am a student of Media&Communication at De Montfort University in Leicester  My hobby is media, languages, sports, fashion, and music. This blog will focus mainly on things connected with media, art, and photos because I want it to be connected with the subject I am studying. I was interested in media&communication since I was really young I was a commutative kid always ready to discover new things in my life. A few years later I started to find myself in social media, I made a lot of websites, fan pages, or blogs it was really interesting for me. When I grew up I decided to go study in the UK to learn more about it and here I am!  My aim was always to work for some massive media company, communicate with people daily without any problems. Hopefully one day I would be able to work on my own ideas and develop them in the best way possible!
