Step 1: Observe
Step 2; Describe I see a blue mask and a silver crown. The blue mask has a silver shiny thread outline, and has silver sparkles all over it. The mask has blue feathers coming out of the top and its connected to the main part of the mask by an embellishment. The crown has small, red and blue sparkles on it. All the sparkles reflect onto the black stool underneath. The light comes down from the top of the photograph. The background is black, and so is the stool underneath the mask and crown.
Step 3: Analyze: Texture is used to create emphasis on the crown and mask. The texture is shown on the crown through the sparkles. On the mask, the texture is shown in the blue feathers that come from the top of the mask. It also comes from the detailed sparkle designs on the mask. The texture makes the crown stand out because it sparkles. The texture makes the mask stand out because of the way the lights hit the sparkles.
Step 4: Interpret: The tone of this picture is very regal and elegant. This comes from the crown because crowns are naturally associated with royals, and when you think of royals you think of elegance. This also comes from the other side of the picture. The mask shows this because by the looks of it, this mask would seem fit at a masquerade ball, and you typically associate being regal with a masquerade ball. The purpose of this was to show something royal and this was done through the use of a crown.
Step 5: Evaluate: I like this piece. I think it shows a good interpretation of A Royal Affair. Something that went well was how the black background made the silver crown and bright blue mask pop. Something that didn't go so well was the light reflecting off the crown and onto the black bottom. I don't really like how it turned out and if I had the chance to do something different about it I would.
