A Truth About Someone

 

     In this photo, Christina is upset with Darrian. The other Christinas represent how she feels about the situation as well as her desires. Being upset with Darrian makes her feel lonely or sad and she wants them to makeup and be good friends. This is a representation of a person who does not show their real feelings to others and acts recklessly.

     This piece has lines, movement, balance, as well as repetition. There are lines in the concrete, balance in asymmetry and the number of figures, movement from each figure as well as the lines, and repetition in the figures.

     I believe this piece is very successful because I believe it conveys the true feelings of Christina. It may be be perceived as ghostly figures, however, most art is not "direct." So I believe this piece is successful.

In the Style of Diane Arbus

     This assignment focuses on Diane Arbus, in an attempt to copy her photography style. I believe this assignment was chosen in order to prevent us "over staging" our models because Diane Arbus's photography involves regular, everyday people. However, her shots make those people seem unnatural or awkward.

     As I looked through the photos of Diane Arbus, it seemed as though all of her photos were candid. I realized this because I love candid shots. When I attend parties, everyone complains about my candid shots because they look unnatural. For this photo, I had my friend sit and talk to me while I took shots whenever I felt it was necessary. I also bent my knees to be face level with her because Diane Arbus does a few up close head shots. There is also an emphasis on her eyes because that is usually the focal point of a person's face.
