This project was all about a hands on experience with recognizing the elements and principles of art.  I enjoyed taking the pictures although it took me awhile to really think what pictures would match the principles and elements.  Some pictures are definitely better than others as my cousin is a photography major and has a professional camera.  When I was at her house we took pictures around her house such as the photos of the dog and bird.  Other photos aren't as high quality because we have a cheap digital camera, but I tried to capture them the best I could.  One of my favorite photos was of my boyfriend and my cousins baby used for proportion.  We were at a Murder Mystery at my grandparents this past weekend which was the reason for the dress up, which I feel made the picture.  Another one of my favorite photos is the one with myself and my cat.  It turned out perfect as she looked in the camera and tilted her head just as I did.  This photo was a great representation of balance, in this case asymmetrical balance.  To summarize this project I had fun brainstorming photo ideas and taking the pictures.   Rather than just reading about the principles and elements of art I was able to further my knowledge by recognizing them in real life.

I love the picture of variety. I looks just like the drawers in my daughter's room. Most of her closet as well. Like you I chose to take pictures of things in my house. Getting out of the house to complete these projects are nearly impossible for me.
ReplyDeleteThe use of your dog as texture is humorous to me. I used the dog monopoly playing piece for mine. Dogs really do have great texture. And I can see how the dogs fur might feel with the picture. I also like the rhythm picture. The way that the bowls are set up is really cool.
