VanAltena-Place



Image descriptions follow pictures top to bottom, left to right.

This image is a landscape, which has a calm and relaxing mood evoked. From this image we can probably assume that the artist loves the beauty of nature during the daytime and that they enjoy to be adventurous in order to get beautiful picture. This image uses rule of thirds, level horizon, and point of view. Rule of thirds, because he has many areas of interest throughout the entire image. The use of level horizon, is both effective and necessary within a landscape. I also feel like this image uses an interesting point of view, almost like Ansel Adams was down on the ground, in order to get the image of the rocks like he did. The artist is Ansel Adams, who is widely known for his landscape photographs. His landscape is called Rocks and Wildflowers, and is an image of Upper Young Lake, Yosemite.

This image is a type of urbanscape, due to its use of older objects you would find in a corner of an alley in the city. The mood is calm, but then you also get a feeling of sadness, when viewing it. From this image we can take out that the artist, wants to reveal a different side of life, within the city, how others watch TV. Compositional techniques used include rule of thirds and focal point. The main objects within this image are not directly in the center of this image, instead they are put at other points creating a more interesting subject. From this image we see the focal point of a chair and a old TV, and from the surroundings we can findout more about the image. This photo was taken by Stephen Brett Stoddart, and the image is of The deserted Haven Modern Motel, formerly Lein’s Cabins, Jefferson County

This photography is of cityscape, because it has a focus on buildings and their architecture. When viewing this image we get a feeling of fun and adventures, some may feel overwhelmed from this view of tall buildings all around. This artist is interested in the city and exposing a point of view that shows how this new place may look so interesting to them. The compositional techniques used are rule of thirds and point of view. This image as interesting areas, but they are not exactly in the center of the image instead they are at the thirds marks in the image. One the more interesting parts of this image is the interesting point of view, the upward look of a city. The artist is Paul Politis, and the image was taken in Manhattan, New York City and is Looking upward at the the architecture in the Financial District, Manhattan.
