Two legos. a cube, a big L, shadows, a monochromatic background and an album cover.

The structures and the legos are in a line parallel to the sun. This produces the shadows to create the sinister background and atmosphere of the photo.

The fear and frightening moment of a person, creates the sinister atmosphere for the metal album cover.

Series

   

What do you see?

One stuffed animal in each photograph. Nature is included in the surroundings of each stuffed animal.

How is the work organized?

The bottom two are taken from above. The top one is taken from below the bird looking up. In each one shadows from the grass or leaves are created by the sun. The bottom two stuffed animals are located below the horizon line and the top one above the horizon line.

What is the artist trying to communicate?

The relation for the photographs is that all the stuffed animals are representing real ones in their own common surroundings. The bird is in a tree with its nest, the bunny popping out of the hole and the sheep in the grass.

What do yo think of the work?

I think the theme really worked and made the photographs have a connection. I really enjoy the series because it meets my interest of cute stuffed animals. The one thing that I would change would be in the photograph of the sheep, remove the blue object in the right upper corner that I was not aware of.

Self Expression

A girl sitting in a chair holding a question mark. The background is art.

The background stands out with color even with the dull color. The main focus is the girl, she creates shadow and value.

What is the artist trying to communicate?

I am questioning art. This is my first year in a performing art school. Seeing all this art is amazing, but what is the composition about?

What do you think of the work?

I think I represented my concept well . If could change anything it would be lighted right section that does not belong to the set.

Ted Talks

Reflection #1 - Much of the market is not selling this products because they want to improve the electrical devices gradually.Who can blame them they want our money. This technology is able to become known through ted talks and speeches of the creators. It can help a lot of people in their way of improving daily life.

Reflection #2- Technology has improved since the last century way faster than we thought. Lifespan has increased faster to the point that in a triangle the old people are not the pointy part anymore but the top side of a square. Statitics say that older people are happier than younger people. I think that younger people should recognize that life has an ending and that we should enjoy it.

What do you see?

I see a senior sketching her favorite teddy bear. The senior is sitting in a chair and the teddy bear is placed in a little table. 

How is the work organized?

I used tungsten lighting to iluminate the set. Their is color  in the wardrobe and the teddy bear. The color pops because of the black background. Value is shown because of the lighting and creates a relaxed atmosphere.

What is the artist trying to communicate?

 The relationship of the young adult with the teddy bear. The setting represents that while she is sketching her most loving toy nothing else is more important, the darkness portrays that. The lighting is her happiness and joyfulness that she feels in that moment.

  What do you think of the work?

Yes, I liked the composition and its meaning behind it. What I would fix is her face to be more in focus.
