Moby Response

I found the video to be very powerful. To me it carried a extremely heavy message about the strength in numbers. When the child was alone in the mask, they seemed alone except for the brother. But when everyone was wearing the masks, they felt strong enough to remove theirs since they knew they had more support.

Abstract

Photo Response

Describe the mood of the image(s)  What is the expression on the faces of the models?  What is their posture?

The mood in the first picture seems calm and relaxed. The model has a neutral expression and she is facing to the right side of the picture. The second picture seems to have the mood of passion, with the model looking straight ahead.

Think about technique.  How do you imagine these images were created? Oil paint? Photoshop?

I think these were most likely done with Photoshop because the hair and eyes seems too realistic in comparison to the rest of the picture.

Ask yourself what role color plays in the images(?)  Does it accentuate the mood?

The colors in these pictures are mostly shades of red and tan. The background is a very vibrant red which helps display the mood of passion in the second picture.

Finally, what do you think the artist intended to convey with these images?  What response was he/she attempting to evoke?  Do you think the effort was successful?
I think the artist intended to convey a feeling of beauty. I think they really want people to look closely and to find a deeper meaning. I think the effort was successful, it really made me stop and think about it.

After visiting the link:
I think it is extremely impressive that these images are photographs and not done in Photoshop. It makes sense now especially because the hair is so realistic.
I think that the artist painted over the model as a commentary on perceived beauty and how people find what is painted on the outside to be beautiful and not what is underneath.

Emotion Project Reflection

For me, the most challenging part of this project was finding a subject that had the ability to show different emotions. The hardest emotions were the ones you can't always see clearly, such as trust and anxiety. It was hard to find a way to creatively display emotions on an inanimate objects. These required a lot more creativity and planning. The biggest challenge for my subject, eggs, was the marker kept running off after I drew faces on them. I also found it hard to portray the more complicated emotions, especially trust. And googling "How do you make an egg look trusting?" doesn't come up with many results, so that took a bit more thinking. Eggs were also difficult to use because they became slippery and I am not good at catching them when they fall out of my hands.
