For this week's critical analysis, you will navigate to the Elements of Design tutorial on the class website, which can be found HERE, or by hovering over Technical/Tutorials at the top of this page. On this page, you will note several different visual examples (photographs, paintings, sculptures, etc.) for each element of design. Your task is to choose 1 example within each element and write 1 paragraph explaining how the given element is incorporated into the image/painting/sculpture/etc. You will do this for each element of art, making 8 paragraphs total. Your paragraph must be 4 sentences minimum per paragraph. When you are writing, be sure to list the name of the artist whose work you are referencing. Here is an example: SPACE This is a photograph by an artist named Stephen Shore. This image uses the design element of space because space is implied within the billboard itself, but also the area around the billboard. The billboard shows a depictions of a mountain range landscape, suggesting infinite space, even though it is enclosed by a rectangular frame. There is also infinite space surrounding the billboard, as the clouds, landscape, and mountain range reach off into the distance. Your analyses will be graded on the following criteria:
If you do not finish in class, you must complete this for homework before class on Friday. Do not overthink this—just write about what you see. Good luck!

This photograph depicts a valley surrounded by mountains. This valley appears to be inhabited by a small town. The reason I believe this is because of the fences, power lines, and the road leading to it. At the center of the frame, there is a billboard depicting a lake surrounded by trees and a large mountain overhead. The billboard is not in good repair. 2/15/2017 09:58:55 am

This image uses line. This piece of art is by Sol Lewitt. It uses one by all the different lines in the boxes inside of the art. It also has some vertical lines and its very awake and rigid.

This image shows an advertisement of some kind in front of a landscape. The advertisement board picture looks like it blends in with the back ground the first time you look at it. Being centered it catches the eye first. The only reason i noticed The ad wasn't real was the lake that was seemingly floating in the air. This caused me to compare the ad to the real world around it. 2/9/2017 08:37:52 am
The lines in this photo include the horizontal and vertical lines on the outline of the billboard as well as the horizontal lines in the picture on the billboard. The picture in the billboard is of a naturalistic scene of a mountain and lake and forest. The lines help make it look more calm and untouched by humans. The lines in the picture overall make it look calmer and more natural, which is what the photographer intended. 2/15/2017 09:50:21 am
This image was taken by Hiroshi Sugimoto. It uses lines by making the horizon a horizontal line. This implies a calm and quiet setting, which it is. The ocean looks to be very calm and almost waveless and the line of the horizon implies that it continues to be that way.

This image is of really pretty landscape with a random bill bardin the middle showing a an equally good looking landscape which kind of matches the two photos. This image is using low brightness and a decent amount of saturation. The image was probably taken in a very bright day but looks better if the image brightness was to be lowered. In this image the billboard seems to try to match what could be on the other side or what could continue if you were to keep going on the road.

In this photo there are many lines. The power lines are diagonal lines that lead your eyes to the billboard. Along with those the lines on the support of the billboard give a sense of structure holding up the billboard. The fence contains lines dragging your vision past the billboard to look to the background.

This is a photograph by an artist named Stephan Shore. The element of design used in this is the element of lines. The lines of the long fence adds structure to the image. It leads our eyes to look at the entire image, because it even leads us to the edge of the image. The horizontal lines indicate the calmness and passiveness of the environment.

Lines- This photo by Bernd and Hilla Becher uses many types of lines. The photo shows many different photos of water towers. It uses calm horizontal lines in the background, and rigid vertical lines holding up the towers. The photo also uses active diagonal lines and calm curved lines.

LINES - This is a painting by Sol Lewitt, the painting shows a great example of the different kinds of lines that are used for certain situations. These lines are composited to make multiple cool designs, the way which some of the lines function show the emotion which the painting is trying to send. Horizontal lines would represent calmness, passiveness and quietness. Vertical lines give the painting a more rigid, active, and , awake feel to it. Diagonal lines give the painting a active and busy feel to it. Curved Lines give the image a more fluid movement, Sol Lewitt mixed this in all of his paintings giving it a strange feel.
