Focal point

When a lens produces an image, the size of it corresponds to the focal length of the lens. The smaller the focal length, the smaller the image and the longer the focal length the bigger the image. How bright an image may be solely depends on the amount of light collected by the objective lens. How much light can be collected corresponds to the area of the objective lens. So the bigger the objective lens, the more light can be collected. If you want to increase the light gathering power by 4, you…

value to your property? Choosing a new look for your home can be challenging, but also fun and exciting as you come up with new ideas. Before you finalize any landscaping plans, here are some ideas to get you started: Choose a focal point: Ordinary yards have no focal point, except for the lawn. While a well-kept lawn can be attractive, it doesn't often do a good job of catching the eye. Pick one feature and landscape around that. This could be a beautiful tree in your yard or you could…

scatters in all directions. Even the reflected light from a single point on the object scatters in the same way. If this scattered light hit a photographic film, you wouldn't see a photograph of the object because the light from every point on the object's surface is spread out and "smeared" across the film. However, if you place a lens at the right distance between the object and the photographic film, scattered light from each point of the object is brought back together (focused) on the film…

the soldiers march to their fate. Parade to War is an allegorical painting, meaning that aspects of the work symbolize the hidden truth to the subject matter of the work. Curry’s use of formal elements and principles of design such as a strong focal point, atmospheric perspective, repetition, contrast between light and dark colors, and symbolism all elicit the depressing dark fate of the…

For the required writing assignment I felt that the piece by Anna Vallayer-Coster, Still Life with Lobster, was the painting I wanted to review. The piece was completed in 1781by Coster. The focal point of the painting is the Lobster. When discussing focal point it is actually defined as the point where the artist has the prospective viewers’ eye go immediately upon first viewing the work of art. In this painting, Anna Valler-Coster uses complimentary colors. The definition of complimentary…

Thoreau in his essay “Walking” introduces the idea of wildness. This wildness is not the same as the wilderness that has become the default for many individuals. In this essay I will attempt to identify Thoreau’s definition of wildness. Thoreau identifies the wildness as the West (609). In one way this is the geographical west, the area currently occupied by states such as Kansas, Colorado, and Montana. Opposite to the west is the east geographically the east is England and France. Thoreau is…

This second painting caught my attention because the perspective of the image creates an illusion of a real small plaza where the buildings are getting smaller from afar. The focal point if this image is the tower because it is vertically tall and full-size compared to the other buildings surrounding the structure because they get smaller within the image. The buildings have an architectural design where it creates a rhythm by a…

Maravillas C., Melder E. J. Leonardo da Vinci’s painting, figure 16-18 Madonna on the Rocks (1483), was created during the High Renaissance period, in which he portrays the Virgin Mary as a real human mother, no longer idolizing her as the queen of heaven. While Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun’s portrait, figure 17-25 Marie Antoinette and Her Children (1781) was created during the Rococo period and shows Marie Antoinette, the wife of Louis XVI, as a loving mother, with only her clothing representing her…

1.“The weeping woman” has art elements line, colour, texture, and shape. The first element that I found was lines. There are different lines in the face and the background. Some of the lines are wavy (which are in the hair) and straight (the yellow lines in the background). However, the most significant amount of lines in this portrait are in the woman’s face and the background. The second art element that I found was colour. The colour I noticed in this artwork are primary and secondary colours…

the viewer of the film a point from which to reference, and orient themself. However, in contrast to the example Ahmed uses in the text “Queer Phenomenology”, where an individual is introduced blindfolded in an unfamiliar room, and must orient themself through “orientation devices” and the directionality of left and right, the viewer of Serene Velocity is allowed to begin oriented in space, with a general understanding of the hallway, and then become disoriented as the focal lengths begin to…
