Photograph Synthesis Essay

Decent Essays
I believe that my three photographs effectively communicate the essence of the abstract noun unity. Both the first and third photograph express unity because of the fact that different objects of differing sizes, brands, colours, etcetera are all positioned in the same street (photograph three) or in the same tin(photograph one). The idea for both of these photographs came from the quote ‘We could all learn a lot from a box of crayons:some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others are bright, some have weird names, but they have all learned to live together in the same box.”Robert Fulghum. The second photograph communicates the abstract noun unity because the two hands, despite being of obvious different races, are interconnected

He understood that the earlier attempts at pictorial photography hurt its image, and it was looked upon " as the bastard of science and art, hampered and held back by the one, denied and ridiculed by the other.

Stieglitz, during his years working with the Camera Work, became associated with many photographers experimenting with the pictorial tradition.…

    In my opinion, the little girl represents innocence. Her eyes are clear, and staring straight at you (the viewer). I feel that the artist specifically did that to demonstrate that, innocence is present in each one of us. It’s a way for the artist to remind us that we haven’t lost our innocence, we only forgot about its existence. The green chair represents stability in life, if we have balance in our life, everything else will follow.…

    Prepubescent as well as adolescent years are some of the most important years when it comes to development. Your parents are arguably the most important figures in your life at that time and they play an immense role in shaping you as a person. If you grow up with a close family that creates a positive environment you will most likely grow up to function like a normal person in society and be very successful. However if you were to grow up in a house that tends to lie and you are exposed to abuse at a young age, your views on the world tend to be skewed. The second of the two extremes is represented through the character Chris McCandless from the book Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer.…

    The oil painting Still Life with Dead Game, Fruits, and Vegetables in a Market created in 1614 by Frans Snyder depicts a large size, naturalistic scene of a shopkeeper and his game in a Flemish marketplace. The painting is 83 ½ by 121 ¼ inches, which gives it an imposing scale. Snyder’s depiction of a scene from the everyday life of a Belgium in the 1600s is made realistic through a close attention to small details that would typically go unnoticed, as if to bring the viewer into the painting. The painting creates the illusion of reality so the viewer can not distinguish the paint on canvas from a real life material.…

    The photographer divided the subjects into two subgroups. One is about blurry and hurried pedestrians in the streets, and the other is about a young girl in the front .

The Visual Elements that Getlein mentions on chapter 4 consist of the following; line shape and mass, light, color, texture and pattern and last but not least; time and motion (Getlein, 2012). These elements are intrinsically woven in art!…
