Head Replacement

     In this piece is a person with a light bulb for a head. This was done due to the comical "light bulb idea." This piece has a sense of unity and balance because there is only one main figure in the photo. There is only a focus on the light bulb, emphasizing the "idea."
     I did not think this piece was that successful because the light bulb does not necessarily look like it is her head. However, the assignment was to not use photoshop as much, therefore, allowing me an excuse to have a not-as-successful piece.

Point of View of a Living Thing (Other than Human)

     For this assignment, I chose to do a series in the perspective of grass. Because I do not know what the vision of grass is, I chose different lightings and angles. Each piece has its own sense of balance. Most of which are asymmetrical and there is 1 piece that is symmetrical. All of which contribute to the calm mood of what grass elicits. I also wanted to say that the grass within our school is what watches us in all that we do, and so, I incorporated a few humans into the piece.
     I believe these pieces are successful because they all have the same mood but are not the same as each other in any way.








Aberrance

     In this piece, there are 6 girls standing against a brick wall (Left to right: Darrian, Briana, Christina, Kayla, Marisa, and Eve). There are 5 pregnant girls and 1 girl who is not pregnant. I used repetition and balance, creating the "normality" in which aberrance deviates from.
     I believe this piece is 90% successful because it represents aberrance in society in which teenage pregnancy is drastically increasing, having people think if it as a "normality." This is why I have the teenager that is not pregnant, different from everyone else, making her a nonconformist to society. The 10% that is not successful is the way I went about making them pregnant. Their tummies are not exactly "smooth" and very much fake looking.
