© Holly Andres Today you will be writing about this photograph by artist Holly Andres. The image is from her body of work titled Stories From A Short Street. Here is the artist's project statement:
STORIES FROM A SHORT STREET is a collection of eight photographs inspired by my unique experience growing up in rural Montana as the youngest of ten children. By casting a fictitious group of siblings loosely based on archetypes of my own family, each image is constructed to enact a specific moment, communicate identity through space, and depict a psychological portrait. Your analysis must be 5 paragraphs, 5 sentences minimum per paragraph. Remember to post your analysis as a comment to the blog post that corresponds to your class. If you post your analysis to the wrong class's post, it will not be graded. This is due by 4PM today. When you are writing, be sure to pay close attention to all of the details in the image—the artist loaded the photograph with many visual details to cue you into the subject's identity. Remember, in the statement it says the images are meant to depict a psychological portrait. How can the details of the photograph—the objects, lighting, background, color palette—help you make educated guesses about the identity of the subject and possible meaning of the image? Refer to your "How to See" handout for analyzing a photograph--

There is a blond girl kneeling in the middle of the photograph. She is in front of a couch but she has many cutouts of women in front of her. There is a black piano in the corner of the room. The girl is wearing a light blue dress with a white shirt under her dress. There is a birdcage above the piano.

The image is about a little girl that is playing with dolls in the living room of her house. This image is using dark colors to make it more mysterious and dramatic. The image has a lot of dark shadows in the bottom, and also bright lighting in the middle. The objects that are included in the image are dolls, a piano, a couch, and the little girl. The little girl is playing with dolls and it looks very creepy.

The image is of a girl sitting on her knees in a living room that's cutting out people in a magazine. The colors are not very vibrant, the dark piano the light wall, the dark couch. There is bright light coming from the window and light coming from behind the camera. The girl is in a blue dress and she is sitting on a wooden floor in front of a dark beige couch, there is a piano to the left of her and a bird inside of a cage above the piano. The girl is cutting out pictures of people in a magazine with scissors.

This image is of a girl. She looks about 9 or 10 years old. She has red hair and a blue dress. She Has a lot of cutouts of girls on the ground and they seem to be color coordinated. There are some vintage looking colors in the image like the brown-green sofa and the curtains. The light looks like stage lighting. There is a piano in the back of the image and a magazine and skizzors next to the cutouts. The girl is just kneeling on the ground and she looks like she is looking at someone in the room.

The image shows a little girl surrounded by cutouts of people. She is kneeling on the ground and has a pair of scissors next to her. Behind her there is a window, a grand piano, and a beige couch. The little girl wears a bright blue dress and a white long sleeve shirt underneath. These colors contrast well against the muted brown colors of the background.

This is image is about a girl who is meant to represent the photographer when she was young. It shows a young girl, probably around the age of 10. The girl is holding a book. There is also many books that are being shown in the image. There is also images of people on the ground. There is a sofa in the background. It probably represents a cozy home that most people would like to stay in.

This appears to be an image of a little girl surrounded by pictures of other people. The artist made this image to recreate her life through others. I think she is surrounded by pictures of people she maybe looks up to or admires. I believe this could show that she really likes celebrities or whoever the pictures are of. I believe this image shows what the photographer did of who she was as a child.

This image depicts a young girl looking off while in front is several cut out magazine photos of people are organized on the ground in what seems to be a living room. The main colors being used are red, blue, green, and brown. The lighting is fairly bright. The objects in this photo is the young girl, the magazine cut outs, and the couch in the back. The image seems to show that the girl cut out the magazine photos.

The picture is of a little girl in front of pictures of people and a couch. The photo has mostly warmer colors except for the girl’s dress. The photo is taken in a well lit room. There is also a piano and a bird cage in the back of the room. A girl on her knees with her back straight.

This is an image of a little girl in a blue dress with red hair. This girl seems to be 9-10 years of age. There seems to be 45 cut out models on the floor. There is a bird in a cage in the background. There seems to be quirky stool for the piano in the background.

This is a picture of a girl kneeling on the floor. In front of her are characters that are cut out from the magazine. This picture is colorful because the magazine characters are wearing clothe with different colors. The room she is knelling is quite bright. The girl in the center of the image is starring at the another side if the wall. Comments are closed.
