As part of our reportage project it was important w eunderstood the bdifferent meanings and ttypes of editorial and observational style drawings. As a task we were sent to the library to collect a range of examples based of the five topics: Reportage, Editorial, Documentary, Current Affair and Political. I found this task interesting as it allowed me to look at a range of different styles of art and purposes.
Reportage
Reportage drawing is a style of rawing whihc is facutal and means to capture whta is infront of you during that time and place. Above shows four styles of reportage all very different yet all connected with purpose. The first example is a great start to look at when thinking about reportage as not only does the artist capture his surroundings but he also iuncldues dialogue he heard during the time of drawing. I find this an interesting element of the artwork as it really gives the viewer a sense of the envirnment that he is capturing. However my personal favourite is the second one, i love the way the artist uses bright colours and fun patterns to add texture and interest to their envirnoment.
The second type of artwokr i found was two editorial pieces particularly both double page spreads. Editorial illustration is illustration often seen in magazines or newspapers oftern relating to the purpose of the article. I chose both these pieces as i felt they were very different in style and overall look. For example the top has very monochrome style and look as though it could have almost been rpinted using different techniques that think about the idea of negative space. Whilst the secodn has much finer details and pastel toned colours. Altough the second is more detailed it still has an overal simple look whihcc doesnt distract from the article and purpose.
