currently on display in SUNY Potsdam’s very own Gibson galley. The exhibition uses sculptures, paintings, and photographs to explore the current issues facing our ever changing environment. While each artist uses various visual and design techniques to get their points across there are still many pieces in the gallery that share many similarities with one another. Edward Burtynsky’s photograph Highway #1, Intersection 105 & 110 made in 2003 is apart of Burtynsky’s OIL: Extraction and…

concentrated his efforts on photographs that had appeared in the illustrated press and has thus already played a role in shaping public perception. Heartfield essentially placed him before Germany’s visual culture like a prosecutor with scissors, doggedly slicing through images that asserted a reality he judged to be false. Appearing in magazine spreads, campaign posters, and book covers, his rebellious visions sought to reshape public perception by challenging the photographs that helped form…

A theme found in these readings is that of meaning making. (Williams) notes that when one takes meaning from experience and makes it active it fosters growth (338). (Photograph 4) demonstrates this as the child found meaning in picking up the bird and kissing it may have answered some questions they had. (Dillabough &Kennelly) discuss finding meaning among youth cultures, which involves better understanding the cultures themselves (44). Photography is a major theme within these readings.…

The top photograph depicts Hitler on the balcony in Dortmund, Germany, just prior World War II. Hitler is addressing his soldiers during this Nazi rally. The purpose of this photograph is to illustrate how one man was capable of coming to power. Composition techniques infused by the photographer heavily reinforced this purpose.

If there is no wind on the moon then why is the flag waving? This topic has been unanswered for many years “Did we really go to the moon.” Some people say we did, some people say we dint but we’ll never know the truth. There are many videos about NASA going to the moon but could it have all been staged? Why is the flag waving on the moon? If you go to the internet and look up “Flag on the moon” it will show pictures of the American flag but why is it waving? If there is no wind in space the…

instance, children and adolescents are impressionable while exposed to magazines as they may find it difficult to distinguish between edited and original photographs (López-guimerà 388). Most of the readers of these magazines strive to look like the models within them because they are unaware of the processes involved in publishing a photograph in a magazine. After hours of preparing the model for a photoshoot, with the help of makeup artists, hairstylists, and fashion designers, a photographer…

The work of photographer Jeff Wall utilizes previous art in order to give his photographes meaning. One of Wall’s pieces of art is A Sudden Gust of Wind, and it takes inspiration from another famous piece of artwork by Hokusai named Ejiri in Suruga Province. The two pieces of art share a very obvious resemblance to each other being that Wall’s purpose was to recreate Hokusai’s previous work. Wall finds a very similar landscape to take his photo at, and he even finds a similar tree. The…

Then in 1970 he uses Polaroid camera to make his own photographs to make collages, saying he felt "it was more honest." I like one think about Mapplethorpe is that he sticks to his opinion whether the majority likes it or not and I can relate to that and this is the main reason why I chose him for my assignment…

provided by an unnamed intelligence agency that did not allow much publicity, little of the work was published. Given a large database of images (in effect, a book of mug shots) and a photograph, the problem was to select from the database a small set of records such that one of the image records matched the photograph. The success of the method could be measured in terms of the ratio of the answer list to the number of records in the database. Bledsoe (1966a) described the following…
