Art of Seeing- Other groups

Liz, Kofi, Meghan- the pictures fit the descriptions very well, some are blurry, but that is probably because of the pictures being taken by phone.

Orlando, Connor, Erin- Some were very well done like proportion, texture, and harmony. They were also some that were a little weak like emphasis, balance, and line that did not really work for me. Overall, they were good.

Jennifer, Wendy, Andrea-  I thought this group did a very nice job with their photos, all of them are high quality especially their texture picture.

Peter, Ben, Michaela- Pictures are nice and done well, but most of them were the same as other groups.

Alex, Morgan, Jesslyn- Overall very well done, pictures were very well done and they were original.

Berkley, Spencer, Elizabeth- Most of the picture match the words that were given, but none of them really stand out, but they are good.

Michael C, Tara, Michael W- Very well done and I really liked the emphasis and color photos.

Color Assignment

 

 My favorite color is bright orange. It is my favorite for a couple reason. One is that i love the way it pop

at you. Whenever somebody is wearing this color it pops out at you. This is the first color that you would

see in a crowd. I also love this color because I grew up rooting for the the orange and brown, the

Cleveland Browns. Orange has always been a part of my life and I love the combinations and how it 

complements with brown and also blue.

Picture Assignment

       The picture is taken in some sort of convenient store of super market. It has a wide variety of different goods shown in the picture that range from cereal, soda, medicine, laundry detergent, and whole different number of items and brands. When looking at the picture, there were a couple of different feelings that were conveyed. The first and the biggest feeling that was conveyed was overwhelmed. There is a lot of going on with the different items, colors, and it looks like everything is bunched together.  Then looking more closely at the picture, you see that there are two people in one of the isles looking at items. The feeling that seems to being portrayed when looking at the people is indecisive. They are just standing there not moving and staring at what they want to decide to buy. The things that seemed to happen before the picture is that there seems to be some sort of spill in one of the aisles. There is a wet floor sign. Also it seems to be either early in the morning or late at night because there are vey few people in the picture and those are probably the times when it is least active in the store. The overall meaning of the photograph I believe is that the world is all about overabundance. There are so many items and goods in this picture and there is only two people shown actually buying them. All of the rest are just sitting there and there is no purpose to them.
