====This cyanotype was captured by the mid to late 1800 photographer Henry Peter Bosse. Bosse was a prescient photographer who chose to take cyanotypes because he thought they reflected his concern. He used paper to create his cyanotypes and put them into a leather book. A compositional technique the artist used was level horizon. Although Bosse only filled half the frame, the picture still looks satisfying and put together. Elements that I found were space and color. There is both crowding and emptiness in this picture. From the middle up. there is nothing filling the frame, only a cloudy sky. However, on the bottom half the artist does a good job filling the frame. The buildings and houses keep the eye entertained because there are many different aspects to look at. In this cyanotyp e, there isn't much color. The artists stuck with a darker toned picture; hence the deep blues and grays. There are no highlights besides the white on the house on the right side of the cyanotype. Principles I thought were most apparent were contrast and movement. The most obvious section in the picture where there is contrast is the white house, dark house, and dark trees. The small dark house to the right of the white house is extremely dark, as well as the trees framing the white house. It makes the house stand out even more than if the surroundings were lighter in color. There is movement in this cyanotype, but it is subtle. Your eyes follow the train tracks and lead you down the flooded street.====

This cyanotype was created by the artist Veronica Siehl. For most of her life she has been interested in creating images filled with shadows and highlights.This negative-based cyanotype was printed with paper and glass. The only significant compositional technique Siehl used was leading lines. What seems to be like fabric has many different si\strings going in all differnet directions. Also, the different sizes make your eyes wander to different parts of the ribbon. The artist doesn't fill the frame; probably 50% of the cyanotype is empty space. Looking at the finished product, elements and principles the artisted utilized were texture, line, movement, and rythem. Dealing with
