• Reminds me of a scrap book
• Has a lot of mixed mediums 
• Theres a dark/light blue tone in most of the pics
• The glitter and jewels gives it a whimsical feel
• Its very busy and reminds me of a crowded street or a chaotic city

Review 27

• This dark photo has a lot of odd patterns and sizings that make this image look haunting but visually interesting. 
• The wrinkles on the bird makes it look half man
• The nails on the legs are very detailed and I thought it was interesting how the red puddle surounds the place a foot print would usually be
• The mountains and sky really stood out to me, and made the character look abandoned/lost
• The wrinkled tiny rhino and chipmunk with a hammer was also interesting

I saw this image while on Tumblr, and something about it immediately caught my attention. There seems to be a lot of symbolism in this image but Im not clear on what thought/point its trying to portray.  The steam coming out an engine from her mouth reminded me of control and obedience.  The aerobics cube in parenthesis also was interesting and probably had to do with patterns/directions.

Activist art

This street artist Justin Nether represented Trayvon Martin by his piece of a hooded black male, which is a popular symbolic image for the controversial killing/ trial of a young boy who was shot.  Many people felt that that it was a hate crime while others saw it as self defense. http://www.sinuousmag.com/2012/03/creative-feature-art-for-trayvon/

This artist has a lot of similar techniques and images that she uses for each of her art pieces. There usually of a women's face with some form of black line designs and vibrant water color splotches. Symbolism is used in all of the images, which usually connect with animals or nature. The eyes in each portrait are able to appear dynamic while also looking elegant, and are either looking straight forward or off in the distance.  I also noticed the square symbol on the lower right side of each of the paintings, which is a very creative way to sign art pieces.

This photo looked very unusual to me which is what caught my attention at first. The props that were used like the sand which and ciggarate gave the women in the picture character so that you could imagine what interesting personality she may have. Her fingernails also added to the edgy feeling of the image because they were long and green which matched the cucumbers in the sand which.  The subject of the photograph was also very unique because you rarely see a close up shot of models or people eating. 

Project ideas

  

• Black and white short documentary of things/people that cross my street.
• Worms eye view from concrete street showing nature, trash, animals or insects

• Enhanced sound of background noise

• closeups while getting detailed perspectives on common things found on street

• Switch between fast and slow pace for clip showing cars

*strong contrast/shadows
















*worms eye view angle

review 23

In this black and white photograph almost all of the models face was covered with a shadow, the only facial feature you could fully see was her eye. Her pose indicated that she was trying to get a closer look at something by her lifted glasses and leaned forward posture. In front of her you can see another silhouette of a smiling women who seemed cheerful and looked as if she was in a conversation. I thought it was interesting that the faces of the two models seemed very misplaced next to one another and both had very different themes.

One of the things that stood out to me in this photograph is the way the models hair is being blown in the opposite direction that you would expect. Her body also appears very straight and stiff with her elbow bent straight behind her while she holds her purse.The direction of the hair seems to show how shes being pulled to the other side of the corner and her body that's in a vertical position appears to represent resistance.  I thought it was also interesting how the background is similar to a fish eye effect around the point where the two corners meet.
