1. Observe
2. Describe
There is a girl with black hair, wearing blue jeans and a black and white striped shirt. She is somewhat crossing her hands and resting them between her knees. She is in the foreground and in the background there are dryers. The dryers are yellow and seem to stretch very far back. In the very left frame there is a wheel that belongs to a laundry cart. The exposer looks like it is turned up and the girl is more vibrant than anything else. The way it is edited makes it seem like an older, retro photo. (90's)
3. Analyze
This photo uses the element of art color to make it look older and also bring out different aspects of the picture. The middle and right frame are what draw your attention most because of the yellow dryers and the dark hair of the girl. To make the photo look older the colors are kind of washed out and more dull. In this photo you can also tell it uses the principle of design emphasis to highlight the girl and the dryers more than anything else. This is done by making the girls hair darker and the dryers more vibrant, even if the saturation is lower.
4. Interpret
This photo could represent a key component in life. It could represent patience and what having patience means you can do. For example, the girl sitting by there dryers has a thoughtful look on her face, so being able to wait patiently give you time to contemplate and be thoughtful. It's being able to take time to enjoy small things like the time it takes waiting for things like your laundry.
5. Judge
I think this photo turned out really well. I like how it was edited and how the light hit the girl more than anywhere else. I also like where I was able to take the photos. Something I would have to work on would be adding something over in the very left of the photo because I felt like it was really empty. I also really need to work on my matting. Overall, I am very proud of this project.
