NO PARKING

In this picture my main figure is the "NO PARKING" sign. The ground for this photo is the ground itself and the trees behind. This photo is a good example of figure and ground. William Kentridge's photos are similar by that he uses a good figure and a good backround for his photos and in this photo I think they are both good.


Garbage


This photo was taken behind Wiest Hall. In this photo the figure is the dumpster and the ground is the dorm building and the other dumpster. William Kentridge's pictures are similar in a sense that he uses a backround that goes along with the figure he is expressing.

This picture was taken outside of Custer Hall. In this photo, the motorcycle is the figure of the whole piece. The ground for this piece is the building behind and the aspault below. William Kentridge's pieces are similar in a sense that he uses objects in his piece and this also used objects.

Questions for WOW project

The WOW project was a project for the Water Company to show people what we can do to keep our water clean and safe. We painted these large paintings of examples of what can happen if we keep doing what we are doing that hurts the water in our community.

My job was to help paint these paintings and add lines to the paintings for details.

What I learned from this project was mostly team work and what I can do for my community. If we did not have teamwork on this project the project might have not gotten done.

Construction Building

This image was taken outside Rarick in the construction zone.
The perpective in this photo is two point. One way is down towards teh trees and one is heading towards the building. This image is similar to Edward Ruscha's art because he uses alot of buildings in his photos that have either a one point perpective or a two point perspective.

The Sidewalk

This image was taken outside Rarick Hall looking down the side walk. It has a focal point of the street and a horizon line of the street curb. This image is similar to Richard Serra's art by having a sense of a focal point luring you into the image.

Dorm Hallway


This image was taken of my dorm room hall way. This shows a very good one point perspective. The focal point is the door at the end of the hall way and everything is pointing in that direction. This compared to Richard Serra's art has similarities of the 3D affect by grasping the person and pulling them in.
