Museum
Visit
I
went to the Art House art gallery in Douglas, MI. The piece I chose is a
photograph of what looks to be a shoreline. It is split into three parts. The
upper third of the picture being water and sky, the middle third is full of
small pebbles, and the lower third is clear water with pebbles below the surface.
The photo is in black and white, but it is still easy to tell what is going on.
My favorite thing about this photo is definitely the composition and the use of
the rule of thirds. Everything is in focus so there is a wide depth of field.
The image looks like it was probably taken in the evening hours on a cloudy
day. I don’t think there is really a deeper meaning to this picture, but it is
definitely calming to look at. There is no movement in the water. Everything in
the photo is still. This gives it a feeling of serenity. Overall, I definitely
like this piece quite a bit. It is simple yet effective. It gives a relaxing
feeling to the viewer – a feeling of calmness. I don’t think it is worth the
price tag of $650, but that’s just my opinion. It is definitely a good photo
though, and I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t like it.
My Piece:
I took this picture and made it
black and white – I used the rule of thirds for composition. I also wanted
water to be a part of my picture because I thought it would divide things up
nicely, being in the center of the photo, and it would help tie back to the
piece I was inspired by. The hardest thing about this was getting the right
angle because I didn’t want to step into the ice-cold water to get my shot. My
photo definitely relates to the one it was inspired by with the elements of
composition I used (color, rule of thirds), and I think when placed next to
each other, the average person would be able to tell.
