CRITIQUE 3

-Uelsmann

The majority of this picture is the roots with the focus being the house that is centered evenly in the picture. It is black and white, very quiet and lonely looking. The roots look like they are going to take over the house and eat it up.

The design elements are direction, vertical line and tone. Tones because of the blacks and grays of the whole picture. Vertical line because of the roots going up towards the house and the house going up vertically towards the sky. Direction because the roots seem to be moving up into the house.

The three design principals that are used are emphasis of the house. Balance of the the subject being centered in the picture. And unity because it has the same mood throughout the whole picture.

The color scheme is black and white and it is used very effectively because the picture is dark and dreary.

I think the photo is very visually effective.

I like that the roots are the bottom of the house and leads your eye up to the house.

I like this photo image a lot. I think it is very creative and works well.

The visual content of this picture is a man with his sleeved rolled up looking down at his arm. It looks like the veins in his arm are coming out as little trees and reaching up towards the light. The light is shining on his arm lighting it up and making his face dark. It looks like it might be light coming in from a window or storm. The blue has a lot of texture in it making it look like rain. This picture leaves a lot to the imagination.

The three design elements are line, texture and color. The line is both vertical and horizontal with the arm being horizontal and the roots coming out of the line vertical. There is a lot of texture in this photo especially the window. The blue color of the window effects the whole mood of the picture.

The three design principles are balance of the positioning of the arm, the proportion of the arm and rest of the body and the emphasis on the roots coming out of the arm.

The color scheme is very has natural colors with a pretty blue window that all works very well together.

I wouldn't change anything in this photo.

The roots coming out of the arm really draw me to this page and make me wonder what it's meant to be. Also, the way he is looking at his arm.

I do like this image it is very interesting and gives you a lot to think about.
