Activity 1: Blog Entry
Briefly discuss why you think painters of the Victorian period might have criticized these early photomontages and why the pictures were popular with the general public. (This technique of piecing together separate images to create one picture is again very popular with both artists and the media).
What two reasons can you think of for this revival of an old technique?
I think these photos were possibly judged because they are strange and what can come off as maybe inappropriate to be in an image. But thats what I'm just assuming. I think they were popular though because they were something different. They were something people had never seen before and was interesting to look at and think of, "is there a story behind this?" "What made the photographer want to do this?" I think its cool that we can take separate images and make one whole by placing them together. So I am excited to do this project and learn how to do it and work with it.
