5 Step Critique
Step 1: Observe
Step 2: Describe
There is three paintings arranged in a vertical black mat frame. They are each 4x6. They are silhouette photos in a doorway, with people in front of the doorway. The top photo is a picture of a girl in a black room in a doorway. She is completely dark. Her hands are going straight down in a V. She is on pointe shoes. The only light in the photo is coming from the doorway. The middle photo is a photo of again another silhouette in a doorway. In this photo there are three people in the door frame, one is at the top, in an L shape off the ground. Another is in the middle of the door frame in an L position. Another person is below the other two resting in a similar shape. The photo on the bottom is a picture of a girl in pointe shoes with her leg up against the door frame. Her hands are on the opposite side of the door frame than her leg. She is in a dark room and the light in the photo is coming in from through the doorway.
Step 3: Analyze
Line creates emphasis through the people. The lines of their bodies create emphasis. The people are the main focus because of how they are posing in the photograph. Color creates movement through the doorway and the people. Your eye moves through the shapes of the people because they are a darker color than their background.
Step 4: Interpret
The purpose of this photograph is to wow people. Not everyone can put their leg up on a door. Not everyone can be on pointe shoes. This piece is meant to show off people's talents. The mood is exciting. The positions that these people are in are unique, and thats what makes the photo exciting.
Step 5: Evaluate
I like this piece. I like how the the person in the photo is dark, and the light is coming from behind them. What could have been done better was I could have chosen a better doorway, one that had a nicer background. In the background of these photos are buildings. I wish that it wouldn't have been the buildings behind the door.
