- Find two examples of photomontages that are either from a commercial source or from a fine art background. Discuss in what context they have been produced and what techniques they share with political photomontages.
- What messages, if any, are communicated through these photomontages and how effective do you think they are? Consider different ways that each image could have been tackled by the artist and come up with an idea for ‘another in the series’.
I think the techniques and context being used is too of course always bring some kind of message to the attention of the person looking at the photos. These two images totally contradict each other as you can tell, I think the left is portraying that we are destroying our earth. We actually are and it is our fault that we are. It may seem like it'll take forever to do but it's happening quicker and quicker. The right is trying to give itself a nicer day with light. You can tell he's using wallpaper to get rid the of the clouds and darkness. These photos can have a different effect on people but the effect could and seems like it should be strong to everyone no matter what the effect is. I think the left picture can be portrayed also a different way but the idea has been used. These two pictures are really good and i wouldn't see any other way to portray their messages.
