Alexa Meade uses photography to document the final
result of her live paintings in which a subject and their surroundings are
treated as the canvas as appose to the traditional forms of portraiture that we
are accustom to. Within this method photography is used as a tool to capture
the artwork and create a finished look. This technique is questioning the viewer’s
perspective of painting and photography and the boundaries within these Art
forms. Using photography creates limitations within the art work as the texture
and three dimensional qualities within the original artwork are transformed
into a two dimensional image. This video will allow for discussion with the
students in which they can question the alternative forms of art that can be
used within photography itself. Also to question the relevance of photography
within this work and whether the artwork is considered as a painting or a photograph.
This will demonstrate an alternative creative approach to conventional artwork,
demonstrating the broader possibilities within art. It can also demonstrate how
artists may collaborate with each other merging alternative mediums to create a
finished product. Students can discuss pieces of work that have been created in
this way for example artwork that includes found objects or appropriated art.
