The Portrait as a Landscape

The project is to visit the National Portrait Gallery, where I have to discuss in a small group ,some of the permanent portrait collections on the ground floor (*1) and the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Peize'09(*2).

This includes photography,Painting,Sculpture and a Video.And to engage with context of the work,as well as the formal elements,such as how it was composed, arranged and constructed visually.Choose one portrait image,research it and then visually recreate it as cityscape photograph.The photograph can either be a 'portrait' of building or a 'city landscape'. The work could also be presented in the way that reflects the original piece.

The image i have chosen is a portrait of Jason Brooks this artist works on a huge scale portrait of Sir Paul Maxime Nurse ('Paul'), he works from photographs originally taken of the subject, he then uses those images to create these momentous paintings using a fine spray painting technique. and my photo to reprented is the City Hall London .
