Creating the pictures for this slide show required much more searching than I originally thought. I spent the day looking at all the tiny details of everything around me and thinking "does this reflect what I'm looking for?" It almost felt as if I was looking at everything for the first time because I was trying to see my world in a different way. I thought that the pictures for Unity and Balance were the most difficult, but I kept thinking of family for Unity so the picture of a friend of mine at her wedding seemed perfect and the whole picture really comes together nicely and gave a great effect. Balance was one I struggled with. I couldn't figure out how to capture balance in a photo. My favorite element to photograph was Proportion because I thought the picture of my friend's hand with her baby's hand was absolutly beautiful. Movement was also interesting. We see things moving around us all day long, so deciding how to capture the right kind of movement to photograph as art took some thinking. The photo of the dog was one that I felt made your eyes wander around the picture. I often thought about what I would want to see if I was looking at a picture of a certain element and modified my thoughts to what I could find around me.

I really like the picture you chose to illustrate form, the buildings placed right next to each other showed three-dimensional space; the different sizes of the buildings side-by-side also showed how they occupied different volumes as well. It was clever that you used the stones to demonstrate rhythm, they definitely showed repetition of shape and color. I didn't even think of using that for my project, great idea.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures you used in this project clearly showed each element that was given. My personal favorite was the movement picture with the dog. Good job on this project.
