The Artists Tina Barney and Elliott Erwitt

Many artists explore their personal journeys within their artworks, as a way of understanding their emotions and the world around them, as well as discovering their identity. Sarah Fordham’s art is inspired by her experiences including her travels around the world, and also as a way to make sense of her thoughts, ideas and emotions. These elements are displayed in bright colours, incorporating symbols and patterns in her work. Her two artworks being analysed are called “The Big Call” and “Pokeepskie”.

After a steady progression, pictorial photography as a movement emerged. Pictorial photographers believed that their field is more than just an objective, mechanical media. Photography was not just about capturing the documentation and information contained by an image, but rather, about the effect and the mood they translate. The images began to have meaning and a reason for their capture, completely transforming the images produced.

In art, there are qualities that speak louder than words. It expresses many different messages and emotions and each person has an experience different from the next. In this paper, I will be discussing two artworks I encountered. The piece is a good example of how people can encounter different experiences in one piece. I attended the Orlando Museum of Art a while back with family and overall enjoyed my experience. On my visit, I found the museum quite impressive and felt a deep connection with specific pieces.

After viewing these six pictures, I consider that it is almost impossible to feel sad or depressed when looking at Elliott Erwitt work. Finally, the essay will be finished by mentioning a quote of him that I believe perfectly represents what photography is about and how it reaches out to most people: "It's about reacting to what you see, hopefully without preconception. You can find pictures anywhere. It's simply a matter of noticing things and organizing them. You just have to care about what's around you and have a concern with humanity and the human comedy.

     While the film is in color, sometimes it appears to be in black and white. There are no bright colors in the film. Most of the colors are either browns, beiges, whites, blacks, and grays, so that even when the characters are outside or in daylight, there are contrasts between lights and darks. For example, at the beginning Mr. Gettes is seated in a somewhat dark office, yet he is wearing an all-white suit. Later, when he goes to examine the dried up river bed, his black suit contrasts with the bright sunlight and light colored sand.

As we all know, color is the voice for the artist 's sentiment. It makes up the appearance of a picture. Color is the decisive factor in depths of the two-dimensional plane of the artwork, making the viewer feel physically and mentally attracted, or the context of things - the phenomenon the author wants to present. Colors have been around for a long time, but there is not a common definition for colors. And perhaps humans are one of the luckiest creatures that can identify colors. Often, the recipient 's eye knows a myriad of colors and colors that always change based on the relationship between light and perspective. In art, color creates a sense of

Their individual perspectives in life ultimately shaped their education, experiences and overall point of view. This essay will outline the similarities and differences in subject matter, tone and imagery of these two artists’ bodies of work.

The white, utilized in the body copy, contrasts the black background greatly. Additionally the contrast in pictures chosen. The smaller picture (on the left) is of a scrawny Michael Hudson, whereas the bigger picture (on the right) is of a muscular Michael. This highlights what the magazine is trying to sell to readers, so this contrast in picture size helps to show what this magazine is all about.

Before starting this project, I knew very little about photography, photographers, or exactly how much impact photographical images have had on our society. I have never taken a photography class, or researched too in depth about specific pictures or photographers. This project has allowed me to delve deeper into the world of photography in order to understand just how much influence pictures can have over society’s beliefs, emotions, and understandings’. I have have chosen two highly influential photographers, Diane Arbus and Dorothea Lange, who I have found to both resonate with me and perfectly capture human emotions in way that moves others.

In one of the scenes of Charlie and the Chocolate factory it’s almost completely black and in the next scene it’s bright white. He uses this to symbolize what the character is going through mentally like with the flashbacks of Willy in Charlie and the Chocolate factory. In Alice in Wonderland he used it to symbolize again what the character is going through or has gone through like in the scene when Hatter was still working for the White Queen of the village being burned down and the lighting was very dark then. The fight scene with Alice and the White and Red queen’s armies were the same with the lighting going from very bright to dark and

Black and white simplified the world, and the artists used shades of grey to fill in the depth on screen. The complexity in art required to create the films inspires, yet, in a black and white world there would be little need of adjectives. If everything was nondescript and plain simple, the writer should ‘kill the adjective’ as Mark Twain and Ben Yagoda have suggested. Each writer must pick their own style, and

Lorenzetti choice of colors for his composition shows that his focus may have been more on how the reader will contextualize the scene as oppose to creating a more accurate

For example when the one armed man is shot in the streets of Krakow, his black looking blood spreads through the powdery white snow, the deep contrast in colors emphasizes the split between life and death good and evil. In some scenes, for example the evacuation of the Krakow ghetto, they keep the lighting dark, emphasizing a sense of fright and confusion. The same contrast marks the pile of bodies that are burning in the Plaszow work camp: the white skulls stand out in a pile of ashes. A white light shuns upon the women’s faces in the shower scene at Auschwitz as they stare up in terror at the showerheads. The contrast of light and dark also shows on Schindler’s face, which is often only half lit, reflecting his selfish dark side. His face becomes more lightened as he makes the change from a war profiteer to a true savior. Schindler’s List just probably wouldn’t have the same emotional and visual impact if Spielberg had made the film in color.

I’m interested in how memories affect the way people produce work, I would like to find out more about artists who create pieces of art to commemorate and communicate these memories. I have decided that the three main artists that reflect my research are Tracey Emin, Grayson Perry and Louise Bourgeois as they have all had very different ranges of life experiences, very unique art styles to accurately portray their memories and how they want an audience to react to their pieces of work. I also like that they have all been viewed as very controversial, but yet all very different in mediums.

Light and shadow is more obvious in absence of color. At the same time it does not take away from the composition of a picture. A strong composition still tends to be a strong composition minus the color. Since now we no longer have color to interest the viewer, one is able to appreciate the curve, the shapes and the texture, which otherwise may go unnoticed.
