Independent Assignment- Winter Landscapes

For my independent assignment I have decided to capture the vast, breathtaking landscapes of Oregon in winter time. Here are a few photos by the late Ray Atkenson; a local photographer who focused on landscapes. These photos are hung in my own home and inspired me for this project.

Cubism and Joiners

In Cubist artworks, images are broken up and reassembled in a slightly abstract way. The images are usually taken from different angles to add dimension and complexity to the the piece.

Here are some examples of Cubism...

                                                                    Marisa Schwartz

                                                                     Cate Laskovics

Diptychs and Triptychs


A diptych is two different or identical photographs side by side, to form one single artistic statement. The two images can show opposition, contrasting ideas, or can be very similar. A triptych is the same thing, but instead of two images, there are three.
