Project 5 (mixed media): 3

1 comment:

  1. Image Title: Photo as Canvas, Untitled: 3

    1.Composition:
    a.Orientation: The subject in the image is shot slightly from behind at an above angle to emphasize what the subject is gazing at.

    b.Lighting: The lighting in this image was natural sunlight.

    c.Visual Design Elements (spot/line, shape/pattern, emphasis/balance):
    The direction the subject is looking in draws the viewer’s attention to look in the same place she is looking. The lines of the cliffs, water and sky create a three sectioned image composed of triangular forms.

    2.Aboutness & Motivations & Method:
    Gluing sequins on the sky portion of the image create a mix between natural beauty and dream imagery. Often times when lying on the beach, if you gaze up at the sky it can look like a spread of glimmering color that the sky in this image attempts to recreate in an imaginative way.

    3.Context: The photo fits into the rest of the series by having something added onto the image by hand after being printed. It also fits with the dream and fantasy motif of the series.

    4.Interpretation: This image also has an element of craft and childhood playfulness as well as a dream motif.

    5.Evaluation: This image was successful. The colorful playfulness is visually appealing and the texture of the sequins is also effective.

    6.Extension: This was a fun series for me and I plan to do more along these lines.
