The first image is an example of a landscape, as it was taken outdoors. The second image is an example of a cityscape, as it features a man-made building. The third image is an example of an interior-scape photograph, as it was taken inside the ruins of a train cart. =====

Explain What mood is evoked by the artist?
The first artist evoked an eerie, gloomy mood in his photograph. This is emphasized by his use of black and white. The second artist evoked a rustic, somewhat creepy mode by capturing a photograph of an abandoned, deserted building in ruins. The third artist also evoked a rustic, creepy mood by capturing an image of a destroyed train cart that looks like it's right out of a horror movie.

Explain Who the artist is, like what kind of work do they do? how does this image show that type of work?
The first image was taken by Dave Fokos, who is known for his photographs depicting landscapes. This image is evidence of his specific type of work, as the image shows various rocks along a shoreline. The second image was taken by Tom Kirsch, who is known for his photographs depicting abandoned buildings and cities. This image is evidence of his specific style, seeing as the image portrays an abandoned building covered with layers of grafitti. The final image was taken by an unknown artist, but they depict what appears to be an old, destroyed train.

Explain what type of compositional technique (leading lines, rule of thirds, framing, fill the frame, level horizon, focal point and point of view) the artist used to create their portraits.
The first image utilizes level horizon as its compositional technique. The second and third images utilize leading lines as their compositional techniques. This is evident by the lines in the architecture of the building, and the linear objects leading your eyes to the back of the train cart.

 * ===== I plan on using image transfer as my technique for the assignment. I plan on transferring my final photograph onto a piece of wood. I will most likely have to sand the wood down before the transfer process. =====
 * ===== I want to capture the beauty of nature and the outdoors. My images will most likely consist of radiant photographs, taken utilizing sunlight. =====
 * ===== I want the mood of my photograph to portray the beauty and serenity of the wilderness. I will utilize natural lighting during this entire photoshoot. =====
 * ===== I plan on illustrating one of my favorite nature centers in the area, the Scuppernong Nature Trail. Therefore, my final photograph will depict a landscape. =====
 * ===== My final image will most likely be around 8x11 after I find a block of wood that's suitable for the transfer. =====
