Doing this assignments was very challenging for me, the only easy part to this assignment was creating my Photobucket account, which was as simple as it get. The assignment on the other hand was hard with its fourteen different concepts of art this was so challenging that I still don't think I completed it very well. Starting off my assignment I first read the pages in the book to gain a better understanding of the elements and principals I was to take pictures of. After which came the first difficult task for which was to find real world inspiration that relate to my topic. Taking pictures was like a day and a half process constantly deleting, re-taking and posting over and over again, after which it was just a matter of trying to accurately put the slideshow together, which was also difficult. This assignment showed me that I struggle with understanding art concepts in my own way.

Raheem, I really like how your pictures convey very abstract and vibrant colors - all of which add to a balanced symmetry when compared to each other. It seems like you've done a bit of traveling when capturing some of these shots, which is amazing because an unknown setting tend to hold a viewer's attention longer and adds to their imagination.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I did noticed that you failed to properly label your shots - if at all. This is a major drawback when trying to distinguish each shot's purpose and meaning. I understand that you struggled with this assignment saying; "This assignment showed me that I struggle with understanding art concepts in my own way." But Professor Tabone did provide a clear and concise slideshow example for this very reason. Also (not trying to nitpick here), I am uncertain on whether or not you used a digital camera for ALL of your shots. The shot of the dog, apartment complex, and the towers seem to lack the megapixeles and quality found in a digital camera (however I guess it depends on the camera used).
Overall, great ideas and choice of photos. Next time a little more attentiveness to detail and you'll be golden.
Hi Raheem, I really like your project and some of the images you used for your different elements and principals, they almost all embody the aspect they are trying to describe, such as movement with what I assume is your dog (he is very cute btw). Saying that the image you used for texture seems off with the picture of the fence with the car behind it, I do remember you said you found this assignment difficult and that is very understandable its usually liked that when we try something new were not used too.
ReplyDeletei like the concepts you used in the project it looks like you really tried to find those elements.
