Hi! I found your AC scenery virtual photography (via Pinterest at first, as reposts, so I went digging on Tumblr) and was wondering if it would be okay to paint one as a birthday gift for a friend? I'd of course credit you in any way you prefer!
Hello there! Thank you for asking and of course you can use my shot as reference with credit (when you post your work is all good ^o^). And I'd LOVEEE to see the WIPs and/or final artwork :D

Group Studio Activity Week 11
Curate a series of 10 images that communicate your group’s concept.
Unfortunately, most of our group was unable to make it to the gallery excursion in week 11, so we’ve had to source these images from other places. Below are a series of images and sources that communicate our group concept and form. As we are focusing on the exploration of everyday perspectives, we’ve been quite interested in the cultural phenomenon of documenting objects and thought processes in groups that reflect an individual’s lifestyle and interests at that current moment. Our publication explores the everyday perspectives of each group member, through a number of times throughout the day, and through an overview of what our lives look like currently.
We extended this studio activity to encompass more images and sources of inspiration than just ten, as can be seen below.

‘Knolling’
Upon research, we discovered that this kind of flat lay photography of objects is called ‘knolling’ and is quite a popular process of documentation. These images were found in the website linked down below, and we were unable to find direct sources as the website didn’t link them. These images are similar to our own curation of personal perspectives throughout the day (as will be seen in our publication) as they include several objects that seem to be used in conjunction with one another.

Mikkel Jul Hvilshoj
Another photographer that curates objects in a flat lay composition is Mikkel Jul Hvilshoj, whose food photographs are quite beautifully and methodically arranged and shot.

Text Inspiration
We were also quite inspired by artists who explore concepts through text, using their own handwriting with a stream of consciousness style, as this is the format that one of our group members will be contributing to each spread, due to the fact that they often process their thoughts and understanding of the world around them through writing. Below are some artists that use text interestingly.
Pablo Lehmann uses old text within books and a paper craft technique to create intricate and nonsensical pieces of art, as can be seen in the images below.

Sylvia Ptak actually uses fabric to mimic pages from books, focusing heavily on text. Her style of handwriting is cursive and quite messy, which is also similar to how said group member writes.
Piece from exhibition titled ‘The Unicorn and the Date Palm’ 2008
This piece, ‘Victor Hugo’ 2013, is inspiration in terms of the form of the lettering, as it’s quite messy and edited, seemingly taken from a diary page (it’s actually bases of one of Victor Hugo’s manuscripts).

German Calendar Design
One of our group members (me- elysia) creates illustrations and pieces of art that have circular compositions and layouts, and, following along with our initial clock experiment, we decided that we wanted to use circular layouts in our publication, as they subtly suggest an element of time. This example above, shows how circles can be used in publications to create interesting and dynamic layouts.
