This assignment was very enriching because of the pops of color and how it brings happiness it brought to the viewer. Everyones either had a happy ecstatic feel to it or had a calming sense with a hint of color. I had the honor to critique two of my classmates Daniel and John, who's pictures turned out amazing.
I had learned from viewing these two artists on a more intimate level made me realize that everyone seems to have a specific type of compositions and colors they gravitate towards. For example Daniel used a lot of Rule of Thirds in his pictures. His pops of color we subdued and mature which made me a more interesting composition. They were also simple in the aspect of not having a lot of surrounding elements yell at you; where as a simple fire alarm or ladder with simple contrasting shadow spoke just as loud.
Johns pictures seem to have gravitated towards interesting contrasting textures. For example how smooth the container holding the water hoes was vs the zig zag lines within the dark table it was placed on. These dark colors in the shadow and his items consisting of bright colors made for an interesting composition. He also has interesting unique subject matter in all of his images using unique angles to make an an even better shot.
It is nice to see other artists work and have them be able to say how they personally feel of it, whether it be of shock of how Photoshop made their image ten times better or how they cropped or not cropped or whatever it may be. Artists can learn a lot of tips from others to help make even their own future work come out better. Compositional elements play a humungous part in making a final outcome become successful. Both of these artists had their element in mind as they were taking these shots.
