Blog 7 Ground Figure


1.Immediate Response – I notice the dark horse rolling on the ground. than i see the light colored one. I notice too, what is the horse doing? i found it fasnating to see a horse rolling on the ground. usually you would only see them standing.
2. Objective Description – Is a nice sunny with some clouds. It looks like it could be cold though. There are two horses in a coral pen. One is a light colored horse that looks young, the other is a darker color rolling in the dirt as the other stares down at it.
3.Formal Matters – Everything looks good. the color is shown well. The objects are well centered. The picture isnt blurry either and you can see it very well.
4.The Story It Tells – This picture could tell a story of two horses on a cool mid day. The black on rolls in the dirt after a hard days work with riding in the pastures. The warm dirt sticks to the fur. The light colored one watches curiously. They could be exchanging words in there own way. telling each other of their day.

5.The Work in the World - I can see how this pictures can connect. I dont know if i could but it in good words but i can try. They both have good figure to ground compistion. the figure balances with the ground. It comes all together to make a good picture.

Blog 6 Texture


1. Immediate Response – My first response is to this picture is 'i wander what the cat is looking at' and 'what excatly is the yellow thing'
2. Objective Description – In the photo is a grey cat laying on a wood floor looking up at the person taking the picture. Also in th picture is a yellow stick with a string tied to it. To the side is a blue blanket.
3. Formal Matters – Everything looks good. But the yellow stick kind of messes the picture up alittle. Its a alittle blurry and just a bit too close. But other than that the rest of it looks good. Youn can see the texture in the floor and the cat. You can see how nice the cat looks. You can also see some texture in the blanket too.
4. The Story It Tells – The photo could tell a story. A young grey cat laying on the floor wandering if it should get up and play with the toy. Or should it continue to lay on the nice wood floor and stare at the person holding the stick. What a silly human the cat probably thinks.
5. The Work in the World - I dont know, at the moment i dont see a connection to the artist. I dont really see texture in his artwork. If you count smoothe as a texture than sure. But other than that i dont see it right now.

Blog 5 Perspscetive


1. Immediate Response – I first think what a long hallway it looks like. And how small the a door can look.
2. Objective Description – All hallway that seems long. There on doors on the left and right along with beautiful artworks. There also sits a yellow janiter cart siting close to the picture taker on the right side of the picture.
3. Formal Matters – Every looks good the color seems alittle dull but you can tell what the color is subpost to be. You can see line very well. In the doors on the ceiling and floor. You can also see the implied lines of the corners. The picture is well balanced. The cart balances our the doors.
4. The Story It Tells – Im not sure if i can think of a story for this picture. Not at the moment any way. I could guess it could tell a story of Hard working artist lining the walls of a college hallway with beautiful artworks.
5. The Work in the World - The artist as really good view of perspective and he uses it really well. Both mine and his show it.
