McLean, Virginia, December 1978 © Joel Sternfeld Each week in class, you will write a critical analysis on a work of photographic art. An image will be published weekly on our class blog. Spend time studying the image and then write a detailed analysis of the photograph. Publish your analysis as a comment to the blog post; this comment should show the student’s name and time posted. Your analysis must be posted to the original blog post in order to be graded.
All analyses must be 4 paragraphs minimum, 5 sentences minimum per paragraph unless otherwise noted. Students will write eleven critical analyses per semester, and the lowest grade per semester will be dropped. On the class blog, if you look to the right you will see the word Analyze. There is a link to a handout you may download or print called your "How to See" handout. This will help you learn to write about art. Refer to your "How to See" handout for analyzing a photograph--

This photo depicts a house that is ablaze, with a farmers market in front of it. If you look closely, you will notice a firefighter that is at the farmers market about to buy a pumpkin instead of helping put out the fire. There are many pumpkins smashed on the ground in front of the farmers market. If you look closely, you will notice there are two firefighters in the bucket of the firetruck. There also happens to be a second fire truck you can just barely see through the trees. The colors that are being used are orange, gray, and other dark colors. This is because the season is most likely fall. The lighting is natural, and it is overcast because the clouds are covering the sun just enough.

In this image, there is a house on fire in the background and a farmers stand selling pumpkins and apple cider with crushed pumpkins in the foreground. I also see two fire trucks attempting to put out the house fire and a fireman shopping for pumpkins. The farmers stand and the burning house look sort of run down and old, and the farmers stand seems to be selling apples and oranges as well as pumpkins and apple cider. In this image, the colors aren’t very bright. The colors consists of browns, greys, yellows, reds, oranges, greens, and blues. I think the image consists of these colors because it was taken in the middle of fall. There are some dark shadows in the farmers stand and there isn’t really a lot of sunlight. Everything is cloudy and dry.

In this picture there is a farm market closer to the front, pumpkins smashed on the ground closer to the front, dead grass, a house burning in the background, the two fire trucks, a fireman buying a pumpkin, and trees without leaves. It looks like the fireman that's buying the pumpkin is not doing his job. The color that picture is using are more autumn colors they are; brown, yellow, orange, red, white, grey, green, and black. The light is natural since it is outside and is overcast, the sun is covered by clouds so we can’t see it. There's a fireman buying pumpkins instead of putting out the fire but when I looked closely, there are also two other firemen at the crane to put out the fire.

The image shows a farm market with a fireman looking at pumpkins. In the background, there is a house on fire with other firefighters putting it out. There are smashed pumpkins in front of the photo. The colors look a little dim because it is overcast. There is a lot of orange, yellow, and brown, signaling the middle or end of fall. There aren’t that many shadows because the sun is covered by clouds and makes the lighting in between light and dark. You can see around three firefighters (one in the pumpkin field and the others in the basket in the background), an old farm market, a burning house in the background, smashed pumpkins, a firetruck, and dead trees and grass.
