Out of my three pictures that I have chosen for this blog, my first is of this little chipmunk container. The emotion I get from it is a slight calm, yet worried and secretive feeling from just the look upon the little critter's face. The comparison between this piece and Albrecht Durer is a lot of his work has mainly animals in it. I couldn't really find an animal around and not wanting to get a dog, which everyone probably would, or a bird that would be really hard to get, I simply used a little jewlery box of a chipmunk and with the amazing wonders of the computer, you can't really tell.

I love how this one came out and how it lo

oks like someone sketched the piece out. It almost seems as if it was meant to looks this way. The emotion I wanted someone to feel was love, romance, peace, anything in those categories. These birds could be reflecting dance as well because of the way they are positioned, since they are holding onto one another, they could be connecting to one of Edgar Degas' pieces. Along with them being birds, animals, it could be Albrecht Durer's as well. 

I wanted a picture to connect to Edgar Degas and so I remembered not far back I took a picture of my friends and I each dancing around the flag pole. Most of Edgar Degas' work is of the girls in the dance studio and that's how mine reflects with his. The emotion I receive from this piece is outgoing, anything that's really out there and also free spirited. I really enjoyed posing for this picture because I just kept spinning around the pole and had a blast that day as well.

Finally, the wrap this blog up, to answer the Salina Trip question. I really enjoyed my visit to the Art Center. It was an experiance I'll never forget and will always treasure. I loved seeing all the new ways to express my mind through art. My favorite artist was Amy with the burned books under the brain in the cage. That had to be my favorite part of the lecture. The movie and the food was awesome as well.

The first picture that I have taken was of my friend, Kailey. The idea we used for her "expressive" picture came from one of Kathe Kollowitz's pictures titled "Germany's Children Are Starving". In her hands she is holding a ramen cup to replace an empty bowl. She was VERY hungry during the shot. Discribing this picture in one simple noun would be "starving" or "hungry".

The composition i

n this picture works really well because you see that you'll never really understand what is going on in her head or what is really in the cup. The line quality is very good too, I would have to say since we put it in black and white. She looks a lot more, calm.

This is a picture of my other friend, Ashley. We went for the other artist, Honore Daumier. The noun we used for her is "calm" and/or "peaceful". She has great light in this picture that just seems to draw the expression out of her face to make you yet again, wonder. She's in that state of mind. The lines are bold and seem to bring Ashley forward making her the focal point of the picture.

This picture was taken not too long ago during my friend Rina's visit. We were cosplaying our favorite anime characters. Yes, that is me expressing myself as my character, Lelouch. I would have to use the noun funny or humurous because it seems to make everyone giggle when we look back at it. The glasses on my face seem to be the focal point in the picture because they stand out no matter what you do to the picture. I don't know really how it relates to the other artists artwork.
