Sam's Dramatic LightingDescribe the work: Photograph with books that have low light that creates a value of colors that are highlighted. Analyze the work: The books have a lot of contrast because of the colors and the black background and your eyes move from the bright colors further back into the composition. Interpret the work: My interpretation is the beauty in old things that seem irrelevant. The mood is dark yet it also highlights the books. The intention appears to be to highlight the wear of the books. Evaluation: Is it a successful piece of art? Why? What would you do differently to make it better? I think it is successful because it has a meaning, good balance and it is visually pleasing. The only thing I would change would be focusing in more on the bottom book so you could see more of the texture. Matt's ChoiceDescribe the work: Photograph that uses values of black on the building to create interesting shapes and contrasts. Analyze the work: I would say the dominant trait is the contrast between the light and the dark values that create an emphasis on the shapes of the architecture. Interpret the work: The mood is harsh, coming from the harsh contrast and the sharp lines of building that are highlighted. The building seems imposing. There isn't much personal voice from the artist as many people could take a picture of a building and then adjust the curves. Evaluation: It is a successful piece because the contrast is very interesting and pretty. I would create more of a focal point or a distinct subject matter to make the piece more successful. Maddie's Self-PortraitDescribe the work:
This is a photograph that uses the shape and location of the artists fave to lead to the other opposing image of the artist. Analyze the work: I think the dominant principles are the contrast in the two people through their actions, but then converge to show a whole picture of one person. Interpret the work: The mood is dark, like hiding the different sides with the dark values. The personal voice is defiantly there because it is a self-portrait so it clearly shows what the artist thinks about herself. Evaluation: I think the piece is very successful in conveying the two sides of the artist. To improve I would simply lighten the images so both faces could be seen better.

Describe the work:
A photo was used to show the shape, color, and texture of the oranges. Analyze the work: The main principal of design was balance between the two orange orange halves on either side of the frame. The sides of the orange contrast because one shows the inside and one shows the inside and they have different forms. Interpret the work: The colors in the pictures make it seem happy but the orange being split an separated make it seem sad. I don't think there was a very personal voice but I think their intention was to show the difference between the inside and the outside without a distracting background. Evaluation: I think it was an okay piece of art but that it could have had a more interesting subject matter. I also would have edited the background so there weren't shadows in the corners of the frame. Describe the work:
What media was used for the artwork? Describe the content using the appropriate elements of art. This is a combination of photos that create a piece of surreal media art. There is a guy as a subject, maybe a form of a tree with some dramatic lighting used to create different values and colors. Analyze the work: The dominant principals are emphasis on the guy, as he is the foreground and he is lighter than the background. There is also contrast of values and colors between the dark background and light subject. Interpret the work: The meaning is unclear, possibly related to the subjects feelings. The mood was more real than surreal. Through the art itself there was a bit of a personal voice because the artist was also the subject matter but without his expression literally on the art I don't think the artist voice would come through as well. I think the intention was to create an image that combined reality and dream. Evaluation: I don't think the piece was successful because even though there may have been a double exposure it didn't make me feel like I was in a dream world. I would have used different pictures that made it more clear what was in background and to lead more to a dreamy mood. Describe the work:
This is a collage of photos combined in Photoshop to create one subject and image. The subject is a cat. Analyze the work: Harmony is used to show how all of the individual pictures of the parts of the cat form the whole animal. Interpret the work: There could be more incorporation of personal voice and overall mood since it is just an interesting picture a cat. The artist could have been thinking that we can't simply look at something for face value and we must see all the different parts of things, but it is unclear. Evaluation: I like the subject matter and I think that the number of photos used to make the Hockney Panorama was good because it has many different photos but the cat is still clearly seen. I would like to see more of a background so that the viewer would get more of a mood and artist voice. |
