Gonzalez-Place



1st Image: Artist: Bruce Croffy Name of Picture: Arch in the Sun -In the picture there is more negative than positive space, but the colors of the image make a difference. Although you cannot see the whole arch, the color of the sky is setting and it is reflected off of the arch giving it a shiny look. This picture is also a landscape because it is mostly land, and it doesn't consists of more than one main things. -The mood that I get coming from the picture is calming because of the blues in the background, there is no seriousness to it, or a madness just a calming to show the place of this landmark. -In this picture, the artist used leading lines because of the use of stairs. The stairs go horizontally that eventually lead to the bottom of the arch. The artist also used rule of thirds because the arch that is shown is in the middle of the picture.

2nd Image: Artist-Alex Benison Name of Picture: Flatiron Football Sunset -In the second image of the football field, there really is no negative space besides the sky, but the sky is full of different colors that make the negative space not so negative. There is a wide mix of colors, especially with the mountains in the background. -When I look at this picture, I feel that it is an exciting night and the sky get captured in the excitement of the game. It looks fun, and artistic. It make you wonder what the people feel and if the game is intense. - One of the techniques used in this picture was fill the frame, even though the sky is an negative space it is filled with colors and the people are surrounding the the whole bottom of the picture. There is also the use of level horizon which is where the people stop and the mountain starts to form with the sunset.

3rd Image: Artist: JongYoung Kim Name of Picture: Color of the Night -Just like the 2nd picture there is a lot of open space with the water, but the water is full of colors and with the reflection of the city it isn't so negative anymore. Also the main part of the picture, the city, is so small and then you have the big sky behind. This picture really captures negative space but it is works for the picture because of the use of colors. This picture is a landscape because of the city in the middle and with all the lights of the city. -When looking at this picture, I feel that this was taken in major city. The first thing I thought about was Miami because of the water and the city is always bright. It shows that's there is actually life there after dark, it looks more fun and that there is plenty to do no matter what time. It also looks busy but you get the mood of fun and exciting about the city. -There could be a use of leading line because of the rocks that outline the water on the right side. The line of rocks start on the bottom of the image and looks to go all the way around the water. Also you could see the level of horizon used because that is where the city starts. The eye grabber for me is the yellow reflected water and then the city which is in level with the middle of the picture.

 * What I want to do:**

-The printing technique is to take a piece of wood, which I believe canvas could work just the same, you would spread glue in the wood and then on the image face up. After that you would place the picture that is on printed paper face down on the wood. After so, smooth out the bubble and make sure that the picture is smooth so it can be traced evenly onto the wood. Let try and once try take a sponge. With the sponge get it wet and then get the paper wet so it comes off. Keep doing so until the paper is off and the image is on the wood as liked.

-Although I'm not sure of what image I want to do, I want to do something very meaningful and that has natural light. I want the place to be something that I have good memories of or that I really enjoyed and would want to go back to if on vacation. I wanted my image to be faded and maybe even in black and white to capture that meaningful aspect of the picture that I would want other people to see. I want my image to look nice and calm as well to make the place inviting.

-For the lighting,I want it to be a natural light like most of the image that I have used. I feel that it would look more calm and make the picture neat, cleaner and have the place look more inviting like I said up above. Also in that season the picture was taken in, I want it to look soft, clear and the lighting could make all of that happen.

-I want to capture a landscape because the lighting will help portray the feelings I want to come out in my final picture. A cityscape would be nice during a sunset, but that would be harder to capture at this time because of the sunset timing. A landscape would be easier and over all come out nicer to me.

-I don't want to make the image to large or too small because at the end, I would want to make this into something that I could hang up in my room or somewhere around the house. I would like to have in portrait way, and I would like to print onto a 8x10ish canvas. Somewhere along those measurements. I think canvas would be a nicer way to show the picture is mounted onto something. Plus it would be easy to hang up somewhere.
