Allison Todd-Kendall Art Critique



The cat’s face is the focal point of this photo as the light shines on it and easily draws your eye. Because the cat is looking off to the side, our eyes follow the cat’s line of vision. The cat’s eyes appear to be dominant. In the background, there is a volleyball that sticks out and can be a distraction. The dark colors all blend in well together and there is a god contrast on the cat’s face. The exposure is good for the contrasts in this photo. The photo seems to have some meaning behind it, which is up for interpretation. The colors used are good; however, the blue in the volleyball sticks out. I feel the volleyball doesn’t necessarily add any meaning to the photo and could just as easily have been taken out. Surrounding the cat could’ve been solid black, such as the right side, which works well to help the cat stand out. The overhead lighting shows the cat well, accenting some of its main features. Having the exposure just a little shorter may help to not wash out the cat in a few places, but it works. Overall, the photo seems to give off an impression of confidence and hope, as there is light shining in the midst of darkness.
