Montage: Activity 3

The limits that I would impose are that the manipulations that you make can't be extremely offensive to some people. Also it can't be false advertisement, the picture has to be true to what point your trying to make and you can't just photoshop it to make it look bad. If you photoshop it then it would have to be obviously not reality, you can't make it look like its actually happening. The last thing is that it has to e appropriate for children and young teenagers because what they put out can be seem by anybody.

Montage: Activity 2

• It seems that this picture was taken during a time of war. I think this symbolizes killing peace or breaking of peace. White doves is a known symbol of peace. The knife going through it showing the ending/killing/disturbing of that "peace".

This picture was definitely taken during WWII, I know this because of
Hitler being used. I think this picture is symbolizing hitler watering the plant of all the Nazis Like he was just growing and threading the ideas into their minds. Everyone hated Hitler so his would be for any US citizen showing the hatred.

Montage: Activity 1

This type of picture might have been controversial during the Victorian Period because that time period was very strict in the way people expressed themselves and they might think this style is a little different and unacceptable. The general public would like it because it was something completely different. 

I think the reasons for comeback is because of how big Photoshop is and how many people like to play around with it. also the people looking at the pictures like to know who was behind the camera and this lets them see who it is.  

Self image: Activity 3

Most teenage girls perception of their own beauty is really low, So many young girl struggle with comparing themselves with other girls in their classes, family members, or celerities. Its really important for young girls to realize their own self worth and grow some confidence; everybody looks different and their all beautiful in their own way. Some girls are good at that on their own but some need role models or support systems to help them believe they are beautiful. For me I have my mom, she is always there to support me. If there was anybody that I believed has influenced me on the way I dress or handle myself it would be her 

Self Image: Activity 2

1. I do believe that the media characterizes beauty and creates sorts of standards for people around the world. It makes people think that you have to look like the celebrities to be considered beautiful. But there are also ugly celebreties and people who have become extremely successful and rich not only for their looks but from their accomplishments and drive.

2. I do believe that people who are continuously admiring the "beauty" in media can cause harm to themselves. If someone is constantly looking at beautiful celebrities and wishing that they looked like them their self-esteem and could cause eating disorder. They would think that since they cant change their face to look a certain celebrity they could make their body look like them, and some people think the only way to achieve that is to starve themselves. 

Self Image: Activity 1

1. Age/Generation: I'm a teenage girl and this picture portrays my generation because a lot of other teenage girl take selfies with each other and also we like to hang out and play on our phones a lot of the time.

2. Gender: I'm a female and they're sometimes depicted as lesser or weak than men but this picture is just saying that that's not necessarily true.

 3. Race: I'm white and being a white teenage girl comes with a lot of stereotypes. A lot of people make fun of "typical white girls".  

4. Religion: I guess if I had to pick a religion for myself it would be agnostic. which is basically you don't know if there's a God or not and don't really believe in any kind of religion. 

5. Class/Caste: I would consider myself middle class. I dont live in a enormous house and I can't just but expensive cars or absolutely everything I wanted ; but I live in a pretty big house and have everything I need and then some.

6. Personality: I would consider myself an Ambivert which is a balance between extrovert and introvert. I don't just talk all the time to everyone around me and I also don't just talk to nobody and keep to myself all the time. 

  7. Intelligence: I would consider myself pretty smart but I just don't have any work tactic and I'm lazy when it comes to school work. But I'm not a stupid person. 

8. Political persuasion: I don't have any particular political party. I think its just because I'm young though because I'm sure when I'm older I'll care, I just don't right now. 

Landscape: Activity 5

This picture is an example of depth of field because the bar on the left is in focus and then that makes your eye move to the truck and then the trees in the background. Depth of field is important so that the viewer eyes naturally move to the back of picture to see the whole composition. 

Landscape: Activity 4 Blog

This picture is closed landscape because you are seeing most of the tree and the trees behind it but since the pictures are close up to the camera you're eyes don't move to the back.
















This picture is open landscape because there are things close to the camera and things further away from the camera that are in focus and that you can look at. Like the tree on the right, the rocks in the water and even the mountain in the far back.

Landscape: Activity 2

This photographer is using leading lines making the illusion that you're going down the road. This could be a metaphor for just to keep moving forward and life moves on.

This picture looks like its trying to just show the path but you could use it as metaphor that you can either take the path or you can go off track and be
adventurous.

Landscape: Activity 1

This picture is an example of art because they clearly tried to get good composition and changed it from color to black and white. I think the black and white part makes it look more depressing and darker since its a picture of a cemetery.

Time: Activity 2

This photo is of a hummingbird eating nectar from a flower. This picture has a very fast shutter speed because the hummingbirds wings move the fastest out of all birds. People never get to see hummingbirds wings when their flying. That gives the picture a sense of motion because you know the bird was flying when the photographer took the picture.

Time: Activity 1

this picture seems to be of little kids beating up a crippled child. This moment the photographer to capture the true rude actions of the kid that is waiting to punch and the children in the background laughing. Also it shows the feelings of the boy they're trying to fight, you can almost feel his hurt. Lastly the boy who seems to be holding back and trying to stop the bully. This picture makes you really want to keep looking and wonder how all the subjects are feeling.

This picture is an example of shallow depth of field because the closest thing is in focus and the face is out of focus. you would use a large depth of field.

Light; Activity 2

This picture in an example of a picture with only one light source. The light in coming from the right on the picture, you know this because there is a shadow only on the left side of the ball.

This picture clearly has multiple light sources. Each mushroom has different sides and angles lit. When you have multiple light sources there are less harsh shadows.

Frame & Composition: Activity 3

Frame & Composition: Activity 2

1. John Szarkowskie means that you have to think outside the box. You should not just take the obvious subjects, make the pictures interesting and make people want to keep examining the pictures you took.

2. The public would be shocked by how realistic he made the painting look with using the shadows and depth. 

Frame & Composition: Activity 1
