As part of the year 9 scheme of work, the photography students are required to take photographs in the style of Wes Newman. During these lessons the students use equipment including; elastic bands, string, sellotape & their hands to create distorted portraits of each other.
Following this, the students then learn how to distort the imagery further by applying different adjustment layers in Photoshop & using the liquify tool. Below is an excellent example of classwork from a student in one of my photography classes. This student has physically manipulated the face by placing elastic bands around it. They have then distorted the portrait further, by altering the saturation of the photograph to make the portrait black & white. They have also used the liquify tool to further stretch and distort the photograph creating an interesting portrait.
