Susan Derges









 The strongest technical aspect of my work was gathering the information needed to be put on the powerpoint. In order to fulfill the requirements I had to research the artist of my choice and I chose to do mine on Susan Derges. I was able to find all of the information and then take the pictures and place them strategically enough to make the negative space look intriguing rather than placing them randomly. The technical aspect of my work that can be improved on is the background I have chosen to use. The background I have used is a chalkboard style, but I feel like something more solid would look more professional and would have been a better choice than the chalkboard style. 
The easiest part about this art activity was actually finding the information I had needed to place into the powerpoint to fulfill the requirements for this art task. Also using less words than the pictures inside the powerpoint was also easier than doing other power points for other classes because it's always easier to look at photos rather than endless words. The most difficult part of this art activity was choosing which photos of Derges's photograms I had wanted to use. I had loved so many of her pieces of art that I had a difficult time choosing which ones I had wanted to use.There were too many that were worth spending your time looking at to only choose twelve like I have done for this powerpoint. 
I demonstrated the objective in this art activity because I have researched the artist of my choice and I have followed the instructions of the powerpoint along with the use of few words and many pictures in order to make the powerpoint more interesting to look at. If I could do this art activity again the only thing I would do differently is choose another artist to research and create a powerpoint on.

  1. As always, I enjoy reading your artist reflections. They clearly describe the process and your thoughts. The PowerPoint presentation is nicely formatted and well balanced. Slide one is nicely done but should include under her name "famous English Photographer". A map of the world with England highlighted would be easier for people to understand where she was born and currently living. The background isn't screaming "chalkboard" so it doesn't bother me but it would be worth trying other choices.
