When I chose the images I wanted to use for my slideshow, I chose images that were interesting to me. I love nature, and by having many of my images from nature was just what I wanted. The sun was slowly setting, and I hurried to get shots that still had some good light in them. The backyard that I took the photos in is gorgeous, and I wanted to incorporate it as much as I could. I took many more pictures, but edited them down to which ones represented the elements and principles the best. I had some problems with my camera with focusing it, which was extremely frustrating. I merely wanted to capture the shape of a rose, and it was difficult to get my camera into focus. I'd like to work with a better digital camera next time. At first I took pictures of objects (household) by positioning them myself, but I prefer the look of still life objects, and objects in nature that I didn't change. One of my personal favorite photos is the one of the backyard, with the sunlight streaming through the tree in the background, and the hanging flowers next to the red brick wall. It looks magical and the aura and colors, and entire scene is unified. Check out my slideshow, and let me know what you think!

I like your photo of space and the way you use the open sky with just a piece of the tree in the lower right. I think all of your photos were really good and related to the element you were using them for.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Matthew on the photo you took to represent space. That was one of my favorites. I think you did a great job encorporating all the elements. I too enjoy nature, but it was unfortunately too dark outside by the time I got around to taking my pictutres. I loved the movement photo also! What were those? They kind of looked like pens or markers to me, but I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteI really liked your slideshow, very creative which always helps. I like the fact that you incorporated images from our color project into the show. It is always nice when we use objects that we almost take for granted and place them into a slideshow that emphasizes the principles/elements of art.
ReplyDeleteThe baskets you used for balance would also have been perfect for proportion. The only picture I was confused about was the one representing unity. I am by no means saying it was wrong. I'm simply saying I don't get it.
