In the physical experiments of these two images I based the work off of Barbara Kruger and produced the images in the way that she did. In the first image with the girl I chose to make it seem as though she is defying her stereotype, she is smiling because she enjoys school and she wants to get an education, this defies the stereotype as girls are sometimes associated with being stupid. I decided to make the second image with the boy seem as though he hates school and he is questioning why he has to have an education. This links with the ideas that Barbara Kruger has because it shows that he thinks he is already smart and powerful. I think these images leave a big effect because it shows more into the feelings of the boy and the girl.
In this physical experiment I decided to rip the photo into 4 sections and stick it back together but with the rips being visible on the page. I think that this produced a good effect on the image because it adds depth of meaning. The rips in the photo can represent the feelings of this person and show how she may feel broken and ripped and although people try to fix someone they cannot put them perfectly back together because this will never work. I chose to add this to my physical experiments as I wanted to use different ways to change a photo, in ways that I haven't done before.
In this physical experiment I decided to screw the photo up and then unscrew it to reveal a crinkled photo. I think this physical experiment is probably my least favourite of the ones that I have produced but I like the way that the crinkles in the paper make it seem as though it has texture to the photo. The crinkles in the paper and the fact that it has been screwed up can add deep meaning to the photo because it reflects her and her feelings towards her life, although she looks happy in the picture she may not be feeling that way inside.
