Contrast and London Characters

At first I didnt really know how to show something different and unique with the words high and low so we started off taking pictures of anything that could relate to this. After gathering images of things around Elephant and Castle, my thinking was that I could use the words 'high' and 'low' to apply to the differences in class around London. This ties in with the diversity of London of how areas so close to each other, can be so different.








London Characters

In this workshop we were given a borough and had to create a character that is based on the borough itself, not on the people there. We were given Islington. We gathered information about the area:

lots of contrast
urban- a farm
rich and poorer places
old and new places
antique market
kings cross
old street
east london
angel sculpture

After coming up with lots of points to build up our character, we then used bits and pieces to make the character up.
