Balance is depicted in the symmetry of the trees in the image. The two palm trees are the same height and look very similar in size, color, etc. The subject is balanced, symmetrical, and focused in the center of the image, which contribute to the success of the depiction of balance. Proportion is shown through the comparison of height between the trash can and the light post. The varying scale of the two objects provides a good sense of proportion, in which the light post towers over the trash can. The light post is positioned slightly closer to the camera, which adds to its height over the trash can. The repetition of the the beams creates rhythm in the image. The beams are equally separated, continuing all the way down the hall. Rhythm is present in the continuation of the beams, in which the multiple beams create a sense of depth. The principle of emphasis is clearly displayed in the photograph. The succulent is the main focal point of the image, in which its purple hue and unique geometric pattern catches the eye against the neutral background. The principle of emphasis is successful because it focuses on a single, unique subject that draws the viewer's eye. The photograph displays the principle of harmony. The image is of the red rocks in Sedona, Arizona. The principle of harmony is present, in which the color and subjects of the image are harmonious and come together to make a pleasant image. The photo displays the principle of variety. The flamingo statue, the mural, and plants in the background all contribute to variety, in which there are multiple contrasting elements in the image. The flamingo statue in particular is an unexpected element in the RBV garden, which displays the principle of variety. The image is an example of unity. The dominant color is the adobe reddish/ brown, seen in the rocks and ground. The image is tied together with the dried brush and fallen plant. Everything looks like it belongs, and comes together to create a solid, unified image.

This photo depicts the element, line. The fence that runs across the entire image is a straight, defining line that contrasts with the flowing branches/ leaves on the tree. The lines of the fence lead the eye across the image. The image is an example of color, in which there are various colors, such as blue, green, orange, red used in the mural. The mural has many bold, bright colors that draws the viewer's attention. The combination of both warm and cool colors create contrast in the image. The sun sculpture in the image is an example of shape. The sculpture has a dominant circle in the center with surrounding sun rays, which are uniquely shaped. The unique shape of the sun sculpture catches the viewer's eye and is an interesting piece. The fire hydrant is an example of form, in which it is a three dimensional object with height, width, and depth. The image also displays several shadows, of both the fire hydrant and the tree. The fire hydrant is the main focus of the image, and its three dimension catches the viewer's eye. The image displays texture. The rough, partially broken off bark of the tree displays the element of texture. It is as if you can reach out and feel the rough texture of the bark. Space can be observed in the image through the feeling of depth. The narrowing appearance of the sidewalk and trees help to create the feeling of depth. Space is seen in the wide open space of the walkway. Value is seen in the brightness and color of the image. The sunlight highlights the flower, making it brighter. The flower is a warm, summery yellow, accentuated by the natural light. The bright yellow pops against the green leaves and the rather dark and shaded background.
Element of Art*The “building block” of design *All good design will have one or more of these elements; line, color, shape, form, texture, space, and value Line *A line is one-dimensional and can vary in width, length, and direction. Lines also can define the edges of a form. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, straight or curved, thick or thin. Lines lead your eye around the composition. -Line is present in the border on the wall, which divides the wall into two halves (top part is light while bottom part is darker in color). The defined, straight line draws the viewer's eyes to the image, in which it is a sharp contrast to the other objects on the wall/ podium, which are uniquely shaped. Color*Color has three main characteristics: hue (red, yellow, green), value (how light or dark it is), and intensity (how bright or dull it is). Colors can also be described as warm (red, yellow), or cool (blue, green).
*Furthermore, Monochromatic - one color plus its tints (adding white) and shades (adding black). *Complimentary Colors- colors opposite each other on the color wheel. (ex. Green & Red). *Analogous Colors- colors next to each other on the color wheel (ex. Red and orange). - In Skoglund's image, Hangers, there is a clear representation of color. It is seen through the warm and bright yellow tones on the walls, the man's clothes, chairs, and other objects. The hangers and floor add a pop of color, in which the grey and pink contrast from the dominant yellow color throughout the image. The bold colors add to the peculiarity of the image and add a fun aspect to it. 1. The camera was set to Shutter Speed priority, which allowed for the rapid action/ movement to be captured
2. My group had slight difficulty creating the bubbles/ water stream effect in the water tank. We had to adjust by raising the height at which we poured the water in the tank, which created a more dramatic bubble effect that would more clearly appear in the picture. 3. I learned that shutter speed is very useful for capturing fast movement, timing is everything, and to get a great shot, you have to rapidly take a lot of pictures and hope that one captures the movement that you wanted. 4. Fast shutter speed is used to capture rapid movement as well as freeze a moving subject (for example, fast shutter speed will freeze a person jumping in air- creates a floating look) In the photograph, the subject is holding a high school diploma. The photo represents self-respect through receiving an education. The girl respects herself enough to acknowledge her potential and put forth effort to receive an education and set herself up for success in the future. Education is greatly valuable, in which it allows one to grow as a person and gain new skills and knowledge.
To achieve the 'light painting' effect, the room in which the photos were taken was completely darkened. The camera was placed on a tripod and set in manual mode with manual focus, My partner stood in front of the camera and created designs with a cellphone app. We used the app myLightPaint, which provided various colored lines/ dots/ shapes to create a light designs with.
