Photo Montage - Art

During my time in photography class, I have learned more about the history of photomontage and a little about Hannah Hoch. I learned about the different types of filters and some about the work behind the scenes of making the photos but mostly about how Hannah Hoch made her collages. She was very famous for some of her pieces but because she was a female they thought she shouldn't be able to create art. After we learned more about Hannah Hoch, we started to collect different free licensed photos and pasted them into google drawings to keep them safe. Afterwards we removed the backgrounds on the photos using remove.bg. Once we had collected and removed the background of them all we started to put them together making a collage of the photos. I found that this part was the hardest for I had no clue how to start it of. Once I had started though it became easier to create and form the collage.

VEGETARIAN NACHOS - Cooking

Yesterday in cooking class we made some vegetarian nachos. My group and I shared the workaround equally and all understood what to do making the prosses easier to do. I had a fun time making this and it is super easy as well as a great tasting dish to make for your friends and family. The chips gave the dish some texture while the beans gave it the feeling of eating meat which made it even better. The vegetables gave to food some color as well as a variety of flavors. Overall, a great and easy dish to enjoy for dinner.



INGREDIENTS -



2-4 mushrooms.
1 grated carrot.
half of an onion.
1/2 a can of chili beans.
1/2 a can of tomatoes.
A handful of nacho chips.
Sprinkle of cheese.

The Melodramatic Acting Style - Drama

The Melodramatic Acting Style 

• Remember in Victorian Melodrama, all emotion is externalized. There is no such thing as inner psychological depth! 
• Generally, this means “Over the Top” in every way. Here are some techniques which help create this effect. 
• Slower, clearer delivery of lines with huge projection. Remember Victorian Theatres were huge and there were no microphones. 
• Play everything to the audience, even if you are supposed to be talking to another character on stage! Indicate whom you are talking to by looking sideways at them and holding your hand out towards. 
• Address the audience directly whenever the script will allow you to do so. 

 

• The Pose: Invent poses of shock, horror, love, evil, intent, cruelty, desire, dilemma, forgiveness, begging forgiveness, etc. A pose should last at least three seconds and should be clearly visible from fifty meters. 
• The working yourself up to the pose: lasts two to three seconds
• Be very big and dramatic with your pose making sure to be over the top.

 

• The Gasp - very loud expressing a range of emotions. Often accompanied by a pose. 
• The Swoon - often preceded by lines such as "Alas! I can hardly bear it." The swoon should be graceful and provision should be made for someone to catch you.

 

• The long walk downstage/upstage/across the stage when hatching a plan or in a dilemma. 
• The Pacing- to and fro across the stage when hatching a plan or in a dilemma. Move before you speak so that the audience can track who is speaking. 
• The Tableau (freeze frame)- the still picture made up of a number of characters to freeze the moment, eg: The Happy Ending/ The Secret Lovers. Tableaux should be very explicit. 

 

• The Sigh/The Groan/The Tubercular Cough 
• First Entrances are important - may even bow, this is related to the cult of “The Actor” – the Star system.
