Proposal Project 1

For the first project in advanced photo I plan on combining photographs and painting techniques. I have really gotten into painting in the past few months and have always wanted to combine the two practices. I plan on using the colors of the paint to evoke certain emotions about each photograph and keep the colors of the photograph toned down so the two will not be too much together. The subject I plan to photograph is things that mean a lot to me in my hometown. My influence comes from the artist Gerhard Richter. His work is an amazing mix between the two concentrations and it really inspires me to create my own versions. I am not completely sure of the concept behind the photographs just yet but I hope to figure that out this weekend and begin to photograph.
