John Stezaker's work examines the relationship between photographic images and truth, memory, and modern culture. He creates hybrid portraits by splicing and overlapping famous faces from publicity shots of classic film stars. By using iconic images from Hollywood's golden era, Stezaker engages with surrealism both temporally and conceptually. Though from a bygone era, his portraits retain their glamour while also serving as artifacts of an obsolete culture.

AOTF 9-17-2014
The document discusses several topics related to Hollywood studios and film production in the classical era, including:
1) How studio stars had power at the box office but not in production, which was controlled by the studios. Studios commodified stars to restrict their public personas.
2) How the Hollywood formula and genre system facilitated efficient production of commercial films through standardized storytelling and repetition of familiar characters/plots.
3) How the studio system, though negotiated between varied forces, created a productive equilibrium that efficiently generated creative, profitable films until the system was lost in the 1950s.

Pictorialism- f64.pptx
Pictorialism, Photo-Secession, and Straight Photography were three major photographic movements between 1870-1930. Pictorialism aimed to express feelings and engage the senses through manipulated images focused on beauty rather than facts. The Photo-Secession movement was founded by Alfred Stieglitz in 1902 and sought to elevate photography to an art form while respecting its mechanical origins. Straight Photography emphasized photography's technical capabilities to sharply depict scenes in focus and detail without manipulation. Major figures included Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, and Imogen Cunningham who were part of the f/64 group that further developed Straight Photography.

This document provides instructions for students to draw a profile of themselves within a silhouette on a phone, filling it with words, doodles, pictures that illustrate their desires, wishes for the future, friends, fears, beliefs, family, and to think carefully about any text and to fill the entire silhouette with no white spaces and in full color.
Modernism and Photography
This document discusses the relationship between modernist art movements in the early 20th century and photography. It provides examples of key modernist photographers and artworks that pushed the boundaries of photographic representation, making artificial or fabricated images that depicted reality in unconventional ways, as the art form evolved during this period. Modernist movements discussed include Futurism, Vorticism, Constructivism, Dada, and Surrealism, with examples such as Muybridge, Marey, Duchamp, Boccioni, Lewis, Tatlin, Lissitzky, Moholy-Nagy, Duchamp, Outerbridge, de Chirico, Bayer, Man Ray, and Dali.
Lino step by step
This document provides step-by-step instructions for creating a lino print using multiple colors. It explains that the process involves making successive cuts to the lino printing plate to reduce the areas that will print, and layering different colored inks on the plate to create an image where the lighter colors show through the darker ones. The instructions are divided into sections for the initial cutting, the first print, the second cutting, the second print, the third cutting, and the final print.
Early Photography
The early history of photography began with artists in the Renaissance seeking to capture realistic representations of nature which led to the development of tools like the camera obscura. In the 18th century, scientists discovered ways to capture shadows using light-sensitive chemicals, laying the foundations for photography. The first permanent photograph was created by Joseph Niépce in 1826, while Louis Daguerre later invented the daguerreotype process in 1839, producing sharp metal plate images. Around the same time, William Henry Fox Talbot invented the calotype process using paper negatives, allowing images to be reproduced. Early photographers focused on portraiture and landscapes but their subjects expanded over time.
Past, Present & Future SoW
This document outlines an art project that explores past, present, and future techniques through a journey theme. It involves taking a sketchbook on a journey around the school, making observational drawings. Students will also complete mono-prints, take photos on their journey home, and draw from those photos. The project then introduces artists like Matisse, Hartill, Heckel, and Rauschenberg and their techniques like cut paper collages, embossing, linocuts, and collage. Students will experiment with these techniques, creating their own cut paper journey, relief prints, single and multicolor linocuts, and collages with lino prints. They will combine their best works in a final grid piece.
History of Photography, The Early Years
Photography began in the early 19th century when scientists discovered ways to capture images through chemical reactions on light-sensitive surfaces. The first permanent photograph was made in 1826 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in France, using a primitive camera to expose bitumen coated plates to light. By the late 1830s and 1840s, improvements in photographic processes and equipment allowed photography to become available for widespread experimentation and use.
Drawing machine
A simple drawing machine can be made using elastic bands wound up and felt pens to quickly and visibly mark a surface. Students are asked to take their homemade drawing machines to class to have them create a drawing and explore the types of marks they are capable of making. Examples of drawing machines are provided for inspiration but the goal is for students to quickly construct a new drawing device in class that can record marks without needing many components.
Year 12 abstraction 2
The document discusses various techniques and exercises for abstract art, including blind contour drawing to describe textures by feel alone, using unorthodox tools to create unique brush marks, and contemplative drawings exploring the sensory experience of drinking water and the interior of one's mouth. Students are encouraged to experiment freely with mark making and non-traditional methods to develop their artistic practice.

Outside of lessons, independent art engagement is encouraged through gallery visits and keeping up with the art world. Resources for wider art reading and theory are recommended, including books, magazines, and apps. The first project this term is on abstraction, exploring techniques and receiving feedback. The second project focuses on diversity and developing a personal response over several weeks.
Blind drawing
This document provides instructions for three blind drawing tasks. It begins by having students put their hand in a bag to feel an object without looking, then use descriptive words to create a blind drawing. In the second task, students examine a new object for 5 minutes before creating an ink drawing with their arms outstretched. The third task has students choose a section of their ink drawing to enlarge and develop into a painted composition using color theory concepts like advancing/receding and complementary colors. The overall document guides students through a series of blind drawing and painting exercises intended to heighten descriptive abilities and understanding of texture through non-visual means.

- 1. • John Stezaker’s work re-examines the various relationships to the photographic image: as documentation of truth, purveyor of memory, and symbol of modern culture. • Using publicity shots of classic film stars, Stezaker splices and overlaps famous faces, creating hybrid ‘icons’. • In using stylistic images from Hollywood’s golden era, Stezaker both temporally and conceptually engages with his interest in Surrealism. Placed in contemporary context, his portraits retain their aura of glamour, whilst simultaneously operating as exotic ‘artefacts’ of an obsolete culture.
