What Art Response 1

Q1: The Expression the two women show are somewhat stoic, the first one is a profile with a straight face. The other is a slightly more dynamic pose, as instead of a straight picture her face is tilted up, and looking down. In both photos they seem to be relaxed, their shoulders are back and down.

Q2: By the painterly appearance of the photos my first guess would be oil paint, but nowadays with the advancements in photo-editing software there is a possibility it is photoshopped.

Q3: The photos colors really intimidate me. (it's quite a weird thing to say, but its how I feel.) The dark colors give off the feeling of indifference. Long story short, if I ever met these women in real life I would probably apologize to them if they even looked at me.

Q4: I think the artist intended the image to be intense, serious and intimidating. I think the artist wanted viewers to have an intense image to decipher. In my opinion it worked well.

Cubism Response "The Tourist"

       Steps I think were used:

  1. The image started out with a flat image 

2.   Areas of the picture were chosen to be replaced with other pictures

3.   The pictures chosen to replace were cropped and cut to fit the dimensions of the squares

4.    The images were pasted into the document and resized to fit a location.

Q1.  McNally must have taken many pictures, if I had to guess I would say maybe 46 were taken, but only 7 were used.

Q2. Probably not, in order to show the different dimensions of the image he probably took the pictures at different times of the day.

Q3. The colors seem to be enhanced a bit and the blur.

Q4. No.

Final Exam

Photo Response Two

   The face that is shown is that of a young girl, her skin is very pale, her eyes are sort of green, her hair is a golden brown color. She looks forward with a sort of blank stare, There are people standing near the image, there is a car, three men, one of them wearing a yellow safety vest.

The size of the image makes it stand out more, and makes it easier to see when far away. The size could be a means to draw attention to the image.

I can't tell if the image is spliced together. It looks like the area is industrial so most likely labor workers will see it.

I am actually a bit uncomfortable with her expression, it just looks blank like she is just staring through me. Maybe she is the last girl in a line, or family, or maybe the last girl left..

Photo Response

  The photo I was shown was of a face that was being climbed by a wall climbing man.
The face has hazel eyes and pale skin. When you look closely at the texture of the face it begins to start looking like a wall mural because of the graininess of the texture. I think this image is an artistic image because it seems very deep. It doesn't look photoshopped to me, but the man's shadow looks a bit too round. I think the photo could mean life is everywhere. Which kinda goes with the picture when you think about it. I think the purpose of the photo is to make people think. The image to me, makes me think, I'm not too sure of what it means and it kind of creeps me out too. The scale makes the girls face not look real and look like a mural while the man looks real.
