Image stitching

Martin’s paint strokes all seem to move in many directions to create the image of waves. This type of line may also give the audience a feeling of chaos, which is exactly what is occurring in the painting. By using line, Martin also paints the city as it is before the storm destroys it building by building. One thing that line…

Has Photoshop Gone Too Far In today’s society is becoming laborious to be confident with your body image. It seems as if everywhere you turn, there is another seemingly flawless model or celebrity posted on a billboard, magazine ad, or even social media. A model might look like they have perfect skin, hair, and body structure, but when the original photo is revealed, there true self, along with all her flaws, are also revealed. Kate Winslet once said in an interview that GQ magazine altered…

From Friedrich Kittler’s book, “Optical media” , “After 1836, there were two possible options available to everyone: either to write letters or books or else to send telegraphic signals. After 1839, there were also two options for images: either to paint or to photograph them.” Because this new technology was available – and better suited – to document visual realities, painting was relieved somewhat of its social function (realistic portraiture) and freed up to explore its expressive…

Why is Images so Important Conveying Information? Writing in the Margins Understanding image histograms is probably the single most important concept to become familiar with when working with pictures from a digital camera. A histogram can tell you whether or not your image has been properly exposed, whether the lighting is harsh or flat, and what adjustments will work best. It will not only improve your skills on the computer, but as a photographer as well. Each pixel in an image has a…

the case for artists covering the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire. While newspapers reported hard facts, many cartoonists aimed to shed light on who was blame for the fire. It was clear the artists were behind the workers and created many graphic images to rally public support as well. Cartoon editorials helped expose the unsafe conditions for workers and used this as an opportunity to inform the public. One such example is the cartoon “One of a Hundred Murdered” which depicts the deadly side…

of a moment in time and transcend to a "deeper level" of artistic understanding. Momaday makes these claims when discussing the work of renowned photographer Edward S. Curtis, who spent his lifetime perfecting the art of photography while capturing images of Native Americans. Upon examining Edward S. Curtis's photographic work and the effects of photography on American culture from its inception to its use in the modern age, one can clearly see that Momaday's claims of photography carrying not…

The controversy over the photograph “falling man” is that it captures a man before he dies during the horrific terrorist attack on the Twin Towers in New York City in 2001. In the article, it states, “The decision to publish dramatic and tragic photographs that depict the horrors of war is never easy.” (Irby, K, 2011) The “falling man” photograph may be very upsetting on many spectrums; however, it captures the reality and truth of what transpired that day. I also think the controversy has to do…

The Image I chose is a black and white photograph created by Edward Weston titled “Cabbage Leaf”. Edward was a photographer who started taking photos at the age of sixteen when he was given his first camera. His Artwork is comprised of real people, places and things in photographs. Edward was very talented at photographing an object and putting it in a new perspective to the viewer of his photos. He gave objects in his photos passion and emotions that they were not originally associated with.…

Some of the details that stick out to me about the imagery of the engraving are the dead colonist on the ground that the British happened to slaughter. The picture has a much deeper meaning than just another painting it develops the understanding in others that this was one of the main events that had lead up to the war. The dead bodies on the ground was only the beginning of many more to come that is also why I found that detail of the painting very significant. The chaos that this painting…

Each photo from the start of the exhibit was graced on the walls in an orderly fashion of its timing. People do not always take the chance to observe the complete image, let alone its description, which there allows one to recognize the progression of different cultures. Following the path of the pictures, each image displays a sprinkle of randomness within its own detail. The formation of the photos continue to progress like a timetable, like photos taken from WWII which express all types…
