WEEK 9 ASSIGNMENT





I like this image because this is simply cute. The red of crown makes a sharp contrast with the dog and background.  What techniques she used this image was  she produces prints by scanning objects into a computer using a scanner, then layering and manipulating these images using Photoshop into a surrealistic montage.



His work covers many genres but obviously his anthropomorphic images caught my attention. I just love the composition, the color, I think the entire use of the found images works brilliantly to create a photo of almost a memory that i would never imagined was totally untrue.



This image has beautiful color tones and very wonderful motifs, and this gives me an imaginative power. The texture and color draw me to this image.



Many of her pieces sardonically critique the mass culture beauty industry. I didn't know the background of this image but I felt like there were deeply meaningful messages. What drew me to this image was the vintage look. The washed-out orange emphasized the letter and guy.



This image makes me nervous but it attracts me. I felt like the red cloak draws me into the birdcage. The color of the artwork is cool as well.
