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.
