Daniel Lubniewski Week 4

In class I showed the results of my previous week of researching people in Italy and related topics. After recieving feed back from Jana and everyone else, I started to look at some of the formal qualities that all of my photos shared, namely the emphasis on arches and single forms. I them narrowed down all my photos to half the original number of 33, creating an abstract narrative that started with the image of a single person and ended with a crowd. Keeping this narrative in mind, I continued to distill this narative until I only had five photos to work with. Over the rest of the week I focused my efforts on these five photos, doing several semi-realistic and abstract ink drawings of each photo. I am starting to get an idea of the essences of these pictures and now have a myriad of pictures I can use to enhance the narrative of the photos.
