Period 4 -- Critical Analysis #16

3/21/2018

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 the tutorial page, you will note several different examples of artwork(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 artwork you chose to write about. You will do this for each element of art, making 8 paragraphs total. Your paragraphs must be 4 sentences minimum each. When you are writing, be sure to list the name of the artist whose work you are referencing.

Post your writing as a comment to this blog post. Make sure you comment on the correct class period's blog post.

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 depiction of a mountain range landscape, suggesting a clear foreground, middleground, and background, 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:

meeting minimum length requirements
depth of organization
evaluation of the content
grammar/punctuation

If you do not finish in class, you must complete this for homework before class on Thursday, 3/22/18. Do not overthink this—just write about what you see. Good luck!

This piece of artwork is by Sol Lewitt. The piece consists of lots of colorful lines that are short and going in all directions. Lewitt uses lines to show activity. This photograph looks like it can cause anxiety because it is so busy.

This is a painting by Pablo Picasso. This painting uses organic shapes to make up people and animals. The use of the original, organic shapes creates an abstract painting. All of the shapes are two dimensional.

Pablo Picasso uses form in a sculpture of a goat. The sculpture is 3-dimensional. Its form makes it more realistic because it is 3D, rather than simulated in a two dimensional work. The sculpture takes up real space.

This photograph is by Hiroshi Sugimoto. It is of some animals (I forget what they are called) that are standing on a wide open plane. This photo incorporates positive space with the animals. Negative space is around the animals, like the sky and plane. The observer of this photograph can see the depth of this image in the background.

In the photo by Sandy Skoglund, complementary colors are used. Everything in the bedroom is blue, while orange fish are scattered everywhere. The blue and orange colors are vibrant. The use of the vibrant complementary colors makes the photograph look fun and exciting, while also being visually pleasing.

This painting is by Kate Bingaman Burt. It is a two-dimensional painting of a La Croix can. The artist uses value with the light and dark paint colors of the can. The black and dark blue contrast with the light yellow and blue. There is contrast with the white background and black outline of the can. There is middle grey on the top and bottom of the can.

Meret Oppenheim uses texture in a sculpture. The sculpture is of a teacup, saucer, and spoon all covered in fur. The fur adds real texture to the sculpture. The texture stimulates an uncomfortable feeling in the viewer.

This is a painting by Wassily Kandinsky. It is a colorful painting consisting of lines and shapes. These shapes and lines stimulate movement, or implies movement. Because it is a still, two dimensional painting, it incorporates the illusion of movement.

Line:
This is an image by Sol Lewitt. This image uses many different types of lines. I feel that this photo is very busy because of the colors and some of the types of lines. There are also horizontal lines in this image that are calm. This image makes me feel very busy because of the different lines, colors, and shapes.

Shape:
This is an image by Henri Matisse. In this image the shapes are flat and for the most part the shapes are not geometric. This image uses a lot of shapes that look like squares or rectangles but are actually more free-form shapes. This image makes me feel busy because there are different shapes and color used throughout the whole image.

Form:
This image is by Sol Lewitt. In this image he has the same cube 30 times. Each time he uses the cube it is in a different color arrangement. This image makes you feel busy because there are so many cubes and colors to look at.

Color:
This is an image by Huger Foote. This image looks like couch cushions. This image uses two colors throughout the whole image which are white and red. I like this image because it is very simple but pleasing to look at. This image makes me feel calm because its very simple and I like the colors in the image.

Value:
This is an image by Kate Bingaman Burt. This image uses value because there is a very wide range of colors from black to white and very light blue to dark blue. I like this image because it’s very simple but it has a wide range of colors. This image makes me feel calm because it simple and I like the colors used.

Texture:
This is an image by Edward Weston. This is an image of a piece of lettuce very close up. In this image you can see all the little lines and the flow of the lettuce. I like this image because it in black and white and you don’t get distracted by the colors you can just closely look at the texture in this image.

Motion:
This is a sculpture by Alexander Calder. This is a mobile that includes many shapes and lines. I like this because it is very simple because it only includes two colors and the design of it is not complex. This sculpture makes me feel calm because it is very simple and interesting at the same time.

In the photo by Sol Lewitt, we see the design element of line in action. The photo contains 8 panels, each with conflicting lines and designs. While there are horizontal and vertical lines, the curved and vertical lines are more prominent, creating a sense of busy, rapid unease. The lines overlap, are suddenly cut off, and out of order, creating a general sense of unease.

Paul Strand’s photo of a chair’s shadow is an example of shape within an image. The shadows are used to create a triangle, a rectangle, and some parallelograms. The shapes lead your eyes across the image, pointing towards the gap between the chair’s seat and the wall. The photo is close up, but you get a small hint of the scale based on the shadows and the shapes they create.

Sol Lewitt’s geometric design of a cube is an example of form in an image. It combines other elements of design such as line and shape are used to create a 3 dimensional image on a 2 dimensional screen/paper. By reaching into the third dimension, the viewer becomes more engaged with the image and it becomes more believable. While it doesn’t make things more life-like or realistic necessarily, it allows artist to create a more detailed piece of art.

M.C. Escher’s image of a confusing stairwell demonstrated the use of space effectively. The element of space is primarily used in the middle of the picture to create a sense of height and unease. However, the relative lack of space on the edges creates a claustrophobic and confusing view of the area. The combination of the uses of space create a picture that engages the viewer and creates emotion.

William Eggleston uses light in his photo of a car to create an engaging photograph. The bright yellow of the car and garage make them stand out from the contrasting blue of the sky and dull gray of the road. Since yellow is a primary color, it is unique and easily distinguishable. The light casted onto the area also gives a sense of the time of day.

The photograph of a swan by Keith Carter is an example of value. Despite being comprised of exclusively black and white tones, the value of such simple colors is still used to create a clear image. The separate shades are used to gain a perspective of space, another element of design. While it lacks color, the brightest whites still manage to attract the eye.

Barbara Ciurej and Lindsay Lochman’s photograph of a “Fruit Loop Lake” is an example of texture. The Fruit loop in the milk appear mushy and wet. The multi-colored dust on the banks appears chalky and looks as though it feels like sand. These textures make the world in the photo feel more real and believable.

Olafur Eliasson’s photo of rain in a studio uses motion as an element of design. Although the photo doesn’t move or change at all, the raindrops appear to be falling. This illusion creates a relatable aspect to the image. The ability to use time in art allows for artist to create many more possibilities and interesting scenarios.

Line
The piece of art is by Sol Lewitt, a conceptualist and minimalist artist. This image utilizes the element of lines. It uses many diagonal and bent lines in order to create the feeling of business and hecticness. The man overlapping, layers lines are all crooked it some way, with no lines being perfectly horizontal.

Shape
This painting, by Pablo Picasso, uses multiple types of shapes. The mixture between the freeform shapes and the rigid lines create a feeling of impossibility and craziness. The mixture between the organic shapes and the geometric shapes is incomprehensible and fun. The shapes overlap and intersect, adding further to the overall business of the image.

Mass,form,volume
The goat statue was made by Pablo Picasso. The goat seems to be small in size and made in 3 dimensions. The goat looks like it’s made of a heavy metal, and this appears to have weight. This piece is not made of geometric forms, but rather, has a freeform shape.

Space
The picture of the gemsbok by Hiroshi Sugimoto utilizes space to create a surrealism to his photograph. The open space surrounding the gemsbok is almost pure negative space. The Negative space fades into positive space as you get closer to the gemsbok. The gemsbok, because they are standing in the front, provide a feeling of depth with a foreground. The negative space acts as an infinite depth to the the image.

Value
The picture of the swan by Keith Carter has a very strong sense of value to it. The contrasting of the lightest value, the white of the swan and the darkest value, the darkness of the negative space around it, acts to make the swan pop from the image. The image also has a lot of middle values in the shading on the swan. The picture has the the darkest of the darks, the lightest of the lights, and the middle greys between.

Texture
The sculpture by Meret Oppenheim provides a really strong sense of texture. The Fur on the cup, the spoon, and the saucer appears to be made of deer hide, which is smooth brushing in one direction and course brushing in another. Even though this is just picture of the sculpture, the picture still does an amazing job of conveying the sense of texture to the viewer. So even, though it looks like a furry cup, all I would feel is a smudged screen if i tried to touch it.

Line
This photograph is by Sol Lewitt. This photograph uses the design element of lines because the lines are made with colors. Each photo in that image has lines that make a certain shape with each line and color. This photograph makes me feel happy and excited because of the bright colored lines.
Shape
This painting is by Pablo Picasso. This painting uses the design element of shape because each shape make a figure that looks like a human or creature. The shapes in this painting make hands and feet and other body parts. This painting makes me feel confused and uncomfortable because they’re so many creatures making different faces and popping out of nowhere in this painting.
Form
This painting is by Sol Lewitt. This picture uses the design element of form because the shape of the cube has height, length, width, etc. The cubes in this image are 3-D. I like this image because it reminds me of when I was a kid, I would always draw 3-D shapes on my notebooks.
Space
This painting is by Raphael. This painting uses the design element of space because above this image is a huge building with high ceilings. This causes the painting to look bigger than it actually is. I like this image because it makes the painting more open and you can see more in this painting.
Color
This picture is by Sandy Skoglund. This picture uses the design element of color because the two colors in this image: blue and orange: make the intensity of them stand out more. These two colors go really well together. I like how well the primary and secondary colors make this image brighter, it reminds me of being underwater or a fishbowl.
Value
This picture is by Sally Mann. This picture uses the design element of value because this image is in black and white. This image also uses gray, the brighter tones come out on her skin and also in the background and the darker colors come out more on her hair and the tree leaves. I like this image because it makes me feel more serious.
Texture
This image is by Barbara Ciurej and Lindsay Lochman. This picture uses the design element of texture because is shows that it can be felt and 3-D. This image shows mountains of crushed up cereal and if you were too tough it, it would feel rough. I like this image because it makes me feel happy.
Motion/Time
This image is by Olafur Eliasson. This picture uses the design element of motion/time because of the raindrops. This image implies movement because of the rain fall. I like this image because it makes me feel calm and the rain because it soothes me.

LINE
This is a photograph by Hiroshi Sugimoto that uses the element of design of line. This image is of a seascape and uses horizontal lines to give the image a calm feeling. The waves and ripples in the sea are made up of horizontal lines. The way that horizontal lines are oriented always tend to give of the essence of calmness. This image uses lines as a way to represent tranquility.

SHAPE
This image by Paul Strand incorporates the shape element of design. It uses shape because everything in the image is made of shapes. The shadows that are cast off onto the table resemble trapezoids, rectangles, and triangles. The table itself is a shape, and the wooden background is as well. Shapes are used in this image by being the sole thing that this image is made up of.

FORM
This image is by an artist by the name of Sol Lewitt, and it incorporates form. This image has form because you can clearly tell that this image has height, but you can also tell that it isn’t just two dimensional, and it clearly has width to it, as well as the most important characteristic of form, depth. The lines on the bottom and the sides show that the image has both height and depth, and the little part of the block that appears cut out gives it the feeling of depth. This image uses form because the object in it has volume, meaning that it has height, width, and depth.

SPACE
This image (The School of Athens), was made by Raphael and it embodies space. Just by looking at this image, you can see the vast amount of open space within it, from ceilings that are portrayed to be very high, to long and wide arches. The subjects of the image do not take up much space, and everything else in the image seems very open and spacious. This image also uses space in the form of depth, because in the background the arches that are continuously getting smaller allow the picture to seem very open and deep. This work of art has space in it because of the large amounts of space not occupied by the subjects.

COLOR
This is an image by William Eggleston that integrates color into it. The image is using primary colors such as blue and yellow, as well as a little bit of red. These colors give the image a feeling and warmth and joliness. The image seems very happy and to me resembles a nice, cloudless day in the midst of summer. The fact that the wall and car are the same color gives the image that kind of feeling. The artist is using color to demonstrate certain feelings.
VALUE
This is an image of a swan by a man that goes by the name of Keith Carter, and the element of design that it uses is value. It uses value because it uses the darkest of colors, and the lightest of colors, and the color that is immediately in between them. It uses a very dark black or brown on the outsides, a very light white in the middle, and where the two meet, a very neutral gray. This image demonstrates value because it shows different values of color in it.

TEXTURE
This is an image by Claes Oldenburg that uses the seventh element of design, texture. It is able to uses texture because the object in the image appears to be very smooth and soft, and it would feel just like that in real life. It is able to give off a feeling to the object that resembles it just like how it feels. It uses texture because the image is able to represent that the object is like in real life.

MOVEMENT/TIME
This photograph by Olafur Eliasson assimilates the last element of design into it, which is movement and time. The image clearly shows the movement of particles through the air, which makes one think that it is taking time for it to happen. Due to the fact that the particles are moving, they not only take up space, but their movement also take up time. This image uses movement to demonstrate a succession through time.

Line- The piece I chose as example of the line element is by Hiroshi Sugimoto. This image is of the ocean and is in black and white. It really makes you focus on the line that is right in the center of the image which is the horizon line. The the line is a horizontal line so it has a very calm feel to it as well as being a picture of the ocean. You can’t see the exact orizon line because it has sort of a blur or fade to it. I like the image a lot because it has a very calm and peaceful feeling to it.

Shape- The piece I chose as an example of the shape element is by Sol Lewitt. This image is one larger square with it divided into four equal little squares. Each little square has lines going in a different direction. The image has a cream colored background and the square has bold black lines. This image is an example of the shape element because it is two dimensional and is made up of geometric shapes. I like the image because it is very simple.

Form, Mass, Volume- The piece I chose as an example of the form element is by Sol Lewitt. The image is of two dimensional squares are in row of five and columns of six. The squares are six different colors as well. They have a different colored cube inside of them and the cubes are a different color for each row. This image is an example of the form element because it has a three dimensional shapes in it.

Space- The piece I chose as an example of the space element is by Stephen Shore. This image is of a painting that is on a billboard out in the middle of nature. The painting is of a mountain in front of a lake with snow. The background of the image is almost mountainous looking or it could be canyons. This image has a very wide depth of field and the painting feels closer to us than the mountains are. This image is an example of the space element because the depth is very easy to see in this image.

Color- The piece I chose as an example of the color element is by Steve McCurry. The image is of a girl who is tan with auburn hair and eyes that are many colors. Her eyes go from gold to green and the outer rims are a teal color. She is wearing a red hijab and looks to have a green shirt on under it that is the same color as the green background. The green in this image is a dark green but has more blue undertones. The red in the image is a burnt red color. The girl has a very serious expression on her face. This image is an example of the color element because it has two contrasting colors. The red and green are on different sides of the color wheel.

Value- The piece I chose as an example of the value element is by Kate Bingaman Burt. This image is a watercolor painting of a La Croix can. The top and the bottom of the can are very defined and have a lot of detail done to them. The middle part of the can doesn’t have defined lines except for the font. It has the different tones with the background being white. The can top and bottom are great and the outlining is black.

Texture- The piece I chose as an example of the texture element is by Edward Weston. This image is in black and white and is of a flower petal. The texture of the flower petal looks soft but it also has the veins in it which make it look like it would also have a ruffle or wavy effect to it. The petal base starts out dark and gets darker as you get to the outer edges of the petal. This is an example the the texture element because the image make you feel as almost as if you could reach out and touch it.

Motion/Time- The piece I chose as an example of the motion element is by Eadweard Muybridge. There are sixteen different images that are a horse galloping. Th images are in black and white and each one is different. The images were taken as a horse was galloping almost like freeze frames. The images are an example of the motion element because they capture the motion of the main focus of the image.

I am writing about how lines fit into the photograph by Hiroshi sugimoto. This picture is of an ocean, it is misty and you can only see the ocean and the sky. This photo has no color. This photo gives off a really relaxing feeling. There is a horizontal line in the middle of the ocean and usually horizontal lines are associated with being calm and passive. Thi photo accomplishes the feeling of passivity by using that horizontal line.

I am writing about pal strands photograph. This photograph is very old, it appears to be black and white. This photograph gives off a neutral feeling. This photograph contains geometric shapes like rectangles.

I am writing about Sol Lewitt's photograph, this photograph contains many cubes and different colors. This image gives off a nice feeling. This photograph contains form because of its three dimensional shapes portrayed in a two dimensional picture. This picture success in the aspect of form.

I am writing about Albert Bierstadt's picture. I really likes this picture because of how its portraying nature. This picture has a lot to do with space. There is a lot of negative space around the subject which is the mountains and the landscape. The positive space s the space in the center or the subject.

I am writing about Sandy Skoglund's picture and how picture relates to color. This picture is very pleasing to the eye. The reason why this picture is pleasing is because Orange and blue are complementary colors. The picture succeeds in color by choosing the color compliments.

I am writing about value. I am writing about Miwa Yanagi's picture. This picture has a lot of black, white and middle ground which is called grey. The middle of the picture is where it is the lightest. Right around the white is the black. The background is the grey.

I am writing about Barbara ciurej and lindsay lochman photograph. This photograph is very interesting and how it makes me feel. This picture does a great job of capturing texture. Its as if i can reach out and grab the fruit loops and know how it feels, even tho when i reach for the paper it will just be paper.

Today i am talking about movement. I will be writing about Eadweard Muybridge. This photograph is about how a man takes a picture of a horses movement. Each picture is still but if seen together it creates the illusion that the horse is running.

Line
In Sol Lewitt’s panting, he mostly curves the colorful lines to imply calmness. The colorful lines are calm while the black lines imply a firm and rapid movement. Sol Lewitt uses vertical lines to imply this firm and rapid movement. The painting looks like a nice and calm painting that has been scribbled on violently by a kindergartener.

Shape
In Pablo Picasso’s painting, he uses shapes to make illustrations of animals and humans pop out. At first glance the painting is assumed to be a picture of art graffitied in a room, but when you really look at it you realize it is a painting not a picture. Pablo uses shapes to make the art look like it’s bending which tricks your eyes into thinking it is graffiti in a room. To the right of the image, I thought there was a door, but as it turns out the “door” is actually a really well drawn rectangle.

Form
In Diego Velazquez’s painting, he makes the flat painting look 3D. Diego uses brighter color to imply that there is light coming from the right. Because of this the people have a lighter color on one side of their face and a darker color on the other side of the face. Diego intentionally paints one side of the face darker to make the people look like they have a shadow. With the shadow, the people and the giant canvas on the left look 3D and more realistic.

Space
In Albert Bierstadt’s painting, he uses the space to make a sense of depth. Albert uses huge mountains and tiny deer to make a bigger sense of depth. The mountains look like they can touch the clouds which emphasizes the amount of depth the image has. The trees look like giants that have been roaming in this land for years and the lighting makes the mountains pop out more.

Color
In Sandy Skoglund’s photograph, she uses blue-green and red-orange which are both Intermediate colors and she also use orange which is a secondary color. Red-orange and blue-green are complementary colors. The blue-green color of the room has a high value and a high intensity. The orange fish, not red-orange fish, also have a high value and a high intensity.

Value
In Jacque Louis David’s painting, the women have a higher value than the men do. The children and the background of the painting have the lowest value out of anything in the painting. The soldiers have a high value on their helmets but a low value in their shadows. The man holding up the swords has a high value on his legs and also on the swords ,but his face doesn’t have a high value.

Texture
In Claes Oldenburg’s image, The burger looks saggy and rough. The roughest object in the image is the pickle on top of the burger. I imagine the burger would feel like a bean bag if you sat on it. I imagine the patty and the buns would feel scratched.

Motion
In Wassily Kandinsky’s painting, the lines look like they would be moving like lightning in the clouds. I also imagine the shapes increasing and decreasing in size and spinning in circles. The small tiny circles would act like confetti and start falling from the sky. The big planet-like circles in the background I imagine would be spinning in circles and mixing together.

1. LINE:
The use of line is barely visible in this image, something that only pushes even further the mood of it. Hiroshi Sugimoto subtly uses the horizontal line to create a calm environment. The horizontal line is formed with the contrast between the actual sea and what seems to be sky full of fog. The fog fades away the as it gets closer, creating even more a mood of
calmness.
2. SHAPE:
This painting by the master of surrealism is the quintessence of shape. In this painting we are able to see all kinds of shapes. There are mostly organic shapes, but there are also some geometrical shapes. The way that Picasso arranged them allows the shapes themselves to form even more shapes within them.
3. FORM:
Rembrandt van Rijn uses lines to create form in this portrait. He embraces the use of curved lines that create a sense of surprise or of a busy person. Rembrandt creates a good representation of hair and successfully uses lines to rete a darker and a brighter part of the face (including the hair) to create volume. You can see it in the nose, in the eyes (by comparing the left with the right) and all the way through the neck how he used lines to crate the volume and three dimensionality of the face.
4. SPACE:
This painting by Raphael from the renaissance shows a mastered use of space. In the painting we are able to see a clear foreground, a busy midground, and a deep background. Raphael takes up all the space that he has and implies space inside the painting. In the foreground he implies space by creating the floor decorations slightly diagonal and directing the viewer's eye to the center. Then he masters the use of shape by painting the arches in such way that when you look at it, it looks like you are there. And in the background he continues this tendency by still creating the arch and making it not very clear, adding up to the realism that the painting has.
5. COLOR:
This picture by Sandy Skoglund seems to use a lot of color, but it is using less than five. The contrast that she uses creates a satisfying combination of color. The main colors that she uses are orange and blue and then a few variations of orange. Since orange and blue are across each other on the color wheel, they do well together and both successfully manage to stand out.
6. VALUE
The values that Sally Mann uses in this image is very successful. She is able to have a wide range of value, from almost complete white to almost complete black. She is not only able to have them present in the image, but also to have them in a kind of organized way. She has a lot of mid tones in the center with the girl. Then she has bright value in the chair on which the girl is sitting. And then all around her the value becomes darker in an almost radious way.
7. TEXTURE:
Vincent Van Gogh along with many of the impressionist was able to master the element of texture. In this self-portrait the viewer gets a strong feeling of texture from the image form the first sight. It wasn't only the way and colors he chose, but also the direction in which he painted the little brushes. He was able to make the viewer want to touch the painting to actually feel the apparent texture. If you zoom in you'd be able to see how the brush delicately touched the paint and created the texture.
8. MOTION/TIME:
This is an image created by Wassily Kandindky. The motion in this image is compositional, meaning that the way it is arranged implies movement. The background of the image is black which makes all the pother color pop out, creating a 3D illusion. All the curved lines make the viewer follow them, which also creates an illusion of motion. Last but certainly not least, the geometrical figures made out of only lines creates even more illusion of movement since it appears that they are somehow “floating” through the black space of the image.

Critical Analysis #16

Lines-
This image is by Bernd and Hilla Becher. In this image, they are showing different pictures of the same house in different angles. This image is an example of lines because they are using vertical lines to make a house. There are parts of the house where the lines are thicker than other to make the image more complete. The negative space in this image is also composed by lines. This image is using horizontal lines that give a feeling of the house being stable and firm.

Shape-
This image is by Sol Lewitt. In this image, there are various shapes making a big shape. There are fours squares with lines inside them making a big square. This image makes me feel nauseous and curious of touching it because the lines inside that go in different directions from the other squares. This image is an example of a shape because it is two- dimensional and has geometrical shapes.

Form-
The image I chose for “form” is by Sol Lewitt. This image is of a two-dimensional colored squares with three-dimensional squares inside them. The colors that are being used for the squares are opposite from the two- dimensional and the three-dimensional square. This image is an example of form because there are squares that are three- dimensional, that have volume, height and width.

Space-
The image I chose for “space” is image is by Albert Bierstadt. This image is of a forest with mountains with waterfalls on the background, a lake and some deers walking in the forest. This image is an example of he element of design space because there is many negative space. The negative space is around the mountains, the trees, the lake and the deers. The mountains make a visual depth to the image that is also an essential for the element of design “space”.

Color-
This image is by Sandy Skoglund. This image is of a room what looks like is under water with two people on the bed and fishes swimming around the room. The colors that are being used are orange, blue and blue-green. These are opposite from each other in the color wheel and so they complement each other in the image. This image is an example of color because the fishes are making a shadow on the wall.

Value-
The image I chose for Value is by Jacque- Louis David. In this image, there are warriors that are giving army to a family. This image is an example of value because the some of the colors are very light and some others are darker. There are some shadows on the wall that show the difference between the dark and light colors.

Texture-
This image is by Barbara Ciurej and Lindsay Lochman. In this image there are different type of cereals that are destroyed making mountains. This image is an example of texture because the mountains and the milk have texture. These mountains have texture, it seems that they will feel rough and soft. In the middle of the mountains there is milk and some cereal pieces floating on it.

Motion/Time-
This image is by Olafur Eliasson. In this image, there is water falling from the ceiling to the floor. This image is an example of motion and time because the image captures when the water is falling which means it is in motion. The lights hanging on the ceiling are showing how the water is falling, these lights are the negative space in the image with everything that is around it.
