Thursday 2/19 Entry



Landscape (Formal)

As far as aesthetics go, my current project has taken on many variations. In the end, it seemed to work best using traditional landscape elements. Of course, when the word landscape comes up, we immediately think of "happy trees" (which the first picture actually has). But instead of happy trees, I focused on the wide angle view, obvious horizon line, and traditional compositions.

This helps the viewer understand the gravity of solitude that is taking place within the photograph, and also allows for the focus to remain on the subject.

*These two paintings are photographs taken off of bobross.com, presumably painted by Bob Ross*

Research...? You don't even give credit to either of the artists whose images you have used. Where did they come from? No links. This is the art-world equivalent of plagiarism. You have to be very careful, this is thin ice.
