What art? 1

-

1. The mood is very somber, but the images are still full of different shades of colors. Their expressions seem sad, almost longing, and they seem very concentrated.  The first image has a relaxed posture where she's sitting up but not completely straight. And, the second picture her posture is manipulated because she is pushing her shoulders forward but leaning her head backwards.

2. I think these images were created in a photoshoot and then manipulated through photoshop. This is because there are many filters that could've been used to make the images have these effects. Also, in the photoshoot they could've taken blurry pictures, used a unique backdrop, or been wearing certain makeup.

3. In the first image, the contrasting bright blue color lightens the mood and makes it seem like there is light even in the darkness. But, in the second picture there is no opposing bright color, only a corresponding red color, making it seem like the loneliness or darkness is hitting her hard.

4. I feel that the artist was trying to create a very natural, raw, and emotional mood. I feel that they were trying to convey the message that everyone has natural emotions and feelings and that they all cope with them differently. Like the first image puts on a brave face while the second one is letting herself feel the emotion without holding back. I think the artist was trying to revoke a sympathetic response where the viewer almost feels bad for them and wants to know what they're going through. The attempt was successful as I am now curious as to the story behind these pictures.

Adjustment : For the second semester I am going to continue working hard and spending class time wisely. I am going to try and take more unique photos that are better composed and have a more interesting contrast.

Also, I want to take more interesting photos so that way my projects can be more unique and catch the eye of more people. Lastly, I am going to expand my skill by learning more techniques and tricks to do in photoshop. Reflection : I feel that I have continued to work hard and that I still use class time wisely. I feel that in the Cubism and Daily Dozen Projects I fulfilled the role of taking more unique photos with better contrast. But, in the Forced Perspective Project, while I created a unique image, I don't think it's contrast is as great as it could've been. For compositioning, I feel that I have definitely improved because

Lost in the World Response

1. What is the general premise of the video? The general premise of the video is to showcase how society is too influenced by social media. The main message behind the video is that when people are on their phones too often, you lose social interaction, people become depressed, and no one is truly happy. The video goes to show how when everyone is on their phones, they lose connection between real people and real feelings, and that if you're not paying attention, you may lose many people that are important to you. 2. Is the video effective in conveying it's intended message? Yes, the video is very effective in conveying it's message to the viewers. With many extreme outcomes shown and the emotions expressed by the main character, the viewer feels very compelled to change and use their phones less. The scenes that stood out to me the most were when the girl jumped off the building and when the people were walking right off the world. These scenes really showed how if
