Unit 7 Activity 4

Activity 4

• Find two examples of photomontages that are either from a commercial source or from a fine art background. Discuss in what context they have been produced and what techniques they share with political photomontages. 
• What messages, if any, are communicated through these photomontages and how effective do you think they are? Consider different ways that each image could have been tackled by the artist and come up with an idea for ‘another in the series’. 

These two examples of photomontages were created by a Greek designer named Charis Tsevis. I think these photomontages were created specifically for the media since there are celebrities in them. These photomontages were produced as basically visual biographies of the 4 celebrities that are both not living anymore and still living. Although, I don't really think they share any techniques with the political photomontages. I think the messages in the photomontages are simple in the fact that they show how successful men and women can be in the media.
