it seems to me that the subject in this picture is sad for some reason. the elements i see in this picture are line and texture. the texture comes from the rugged terrain and how i can imagine it feeling. the line comes from the dirt path that leads your eye out as far as you can see and the path disappears leaving you to wonder what is at the end.
ReplyDeleteThis photo looks as if the subject has either seen or received some news that is devastating to him.
ReplyDeleteThe elements I see are line and texture.
The texture in this photo help to give a little more background to the story being told.
The elements and principles of art are helping the story being told because of the many different features in it, and certain qualities make you want to know what is going on.
I think the man in this photograph lost his home to a fire and he is grieving. I see lines and spacing embedded in this picture. The lines help create movement; your eyes have a tendency to follow the path ahead. These elements come together and create the picture as a whole.
ReplyDeleteI think this subject is stressed. I see rule of thirds and leading lines. This element helps you understand what's going on in the photo. It helped me tell the story because the surroundings play a big role in how the person might be feeling.
ReplyDeleteThe story of this photo is about the man, he seems to be down about something. An element of art I see is form and balance, the photo is nicely presented. The principle of design I see is movement, you're eyes are lead through the story being told through out the picture.
ReplyDelete1. It looks like he is in the middle of nowhere and may be lost.
ReplyDelete2. Space is used in this photograph as an element of art.
3. The space in the photo helps create an emphasis on the man as a principle of design.
4. With the man as the main subject and the rest of the photograph is the empty lands brings your eyes back to the man allowing for an opportunity to tell a story.
In this photo I think that this man is crying because he might have been lost and he found a trail leading to a city or village. I see lines in this photo because of the dirt path leading up to the hills. They can add a lot more story to a photo.
ReplyDeletei think that the man in the photo looks upset it looks like he wants to be alone.
ReplyDeleteI see lines. this element of art is really cool because it's like telling you to fallow a path. The elements of art is telling you what's going on in the story
1. I believe that this is a photo of the subject mourning over the land that was burned in a fire.
ReplyDelete2. The photographer uses a strong focal point, along with lines in this picture.
3. The use of lines in the photo applies to the principle of movement. After the viewer focuses on the subject, the line then leads the viewer's eye farther back in the picture and allows them to then view the rest of the picture.
4. The elements and principles used in the photo help display the message of a path that is broken beyond repair.
The individual has come to a destroyed childhood hangout and is overwhelmed with emotion. The element of line helps create the principle of emphasis because the line leads up to the subject, the main focus of the picture This brings the story to life because the line of the road leads the viewer throughout the picture and then back to the subject, which really stresses the feelings the person is feeling.

1. In my perspective, I see a somewhat poor looking man sobbing over what looks like a burnt field (possibly his home.)
ReplyDelete2.The Elements I see are: Line, Space, and Texture.
3.Line: I feel that the line/trail in the photo helps keep Balance with the man and the rest of the field.
4.Elements and Principals show you the smallest details which may help you tell the story, such as how the Texture looks like ash.
1. I think he is crying about the land being burnt.
ReplyDelete2. i see shape and texture.
3.they help tell the story because they help describe the seine
The man looks like he is crying because of the loss of something that had burned down in front of him. Probably his house or plants. I see the element of value from the darkness and bleakness of the background. This element is applied to the principle of design of movement because our eyes are tracking the dark picture in the background, trying to get details as to why the man seems to be crying in the picture. The element of value showing the darkness really pushes the sadness and bleakness of the picture and the tone of the whole story.
ReplyDeleteI think this person just lost everything in a fire.
ReplyDeleteI see balance, rule of thirds line and a strong focal point.
The elements in this picture allow you to notice small details in this photo that you would miss otherwise, such as the black ash on the dirt of the grum on his hands as he rubs his eyes.

1. I think this picture depicts a story of a man who's traveled a long road away from home and is now missing what he left behind.
ReplyDelete2. The element of art I see is lines.
3. The main line is the long road in the background, but another line that compliments this long road are the blurred fences in the background. This indicates the path he's traveled. The lines of the mountains indicate how far he's traveled as they appear to be distant.
4. They shape the picture and give it a story by having different elements and principles represent something. It's all based on interpretation, so how the picture is formatted helps the viewer interpret the story.
" a story of a man who's traveled a long road away from home and is now missing what he left behind."
Deletesnap snap
1. I think the guy is upset because his girlfriend left him, that's why he has his hands on his face.
ReplyDelete2. I see Value and some Form on the guy as he pops out in this picture.
3. The Form on this picture makes it also have Movement because the guy popping out at you makes your eye move towards where he is at and up the path.
4. The elements of arts and principles help tell story on a pic by giving the viewer a better understanding on the purpose of the pic.
I think that may he is lost,weak,&frustrated and he still has a long way to go. Elements of art that I see in the photograph is color and line. Elements of design is emphasis, and balance. The elements of art and principles help tell the story because the color used are more gloomy feel and the emphasis on the man with his face covered tells the audience something is wrong.
ReplyDeleteWhat i see in this pic is a man that looks sad or disappointed. An element of art i believe that was used was color, how the ground goes from dark and leads you straight into the fog in the background. It kind of seems like this pic is telling a dark story just because of where he is at and how dark it looks.
ReplyDeleteI feel that this person is in shambles because of this path he needs to go through but he doesn't want to go any further, probably because of emotional that happened to him.
ReplyDeleteThe only element that I see in this photograph is Space.
The element Space helps create a principle of Movement.
With the element Space and the principle Movement, it helps tells a story of this long, winding path that this man has to take.
1.I think that something bad happened to the man, like a fire since the field looks burned.
ReplyDelete2. The Elements of Art I see is Line and Space.
3.I feel like Line helps with Movement since Line helps the eye move around the picture.
4.Space helps give off a vibe that something happened since there's a lot of space and the ground looks burnt.
It look like a hard working farmer has lost his crops and by the way he is position it can demonstrate his sorrow over his burned crops. In the principles of art you can technically image his wrinkly hands from all the hard work he was accomplish over the years. Also for color you can see the difference between his hat compare to how the navy blue color look without being expose to the sun for a long period of time. For the principles of design there is a demonstration of balance from all the black sit on the ground. This elements have helped me predict what could have happened in this photo.
ReplyDeleteThe man in the photo appears to be making a tough decision: does he travel the long road? Elements of art include a strong focal point (the man) and color; the colors complement each other. Color creates a principle of design of balance due to the similar hue of all colors in this image, which do not contrast and therefore relieve the eyes from having to absorb multiple vibrant colors. The elements of art and principles of design help tell a simple story of a man's difficult decision.
ReplyDeleteI think that the guy in the picture is devastated at what he's looking at which is the field in front of him that looks like it has maybe been burned. I see the elements of value and space in this photograph.The element of value helps create the principle of contrast in this picture because the brightness of the sky contrasts the darkness of the field. The element and principles that are in the picture help tell the story because they make you understand the concept of the picture better and be able to "read" the story.

ReplyDeleteI think the person is sobbing because of the destruction caused by a fire. One of the most prominent elements in this photo is the use of lines- specifically the trail. The trail line creates an implied movement. Perhaps it symbolizes the presence of the future and having to persevere through adversity. The empty space behind the person emphasizes the emptiness and loss of the destroyed field.
ReplyDelete"Perhaps it symbolizes the presence of the future and having to persevere through adversity." You have a way with words Luz. Nice.
DeleteIn this photo, I see the elements of lines and space that help create the principle of emphasis. I think the elements and principle of design help tell the story of a man who is exhausted from being lost, a long hike or a walk who still has a long way to go by exposing the large amount of space between him and the end of the path. The exhaustion is revealed by his body language.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you, Ana.
DeleteIt looks as if this man in the picture is crying when he sees what if left of the landscape. A barren, dark land of ash and dirt with a tannish trail pushing through. It seems maybe there was a large fire which consumed what was there previously which would explain why the man would be weeping over his loss. The colors in the photograph and the vast amount of space, gives the impression that something is missing that was once there. There is such an emphasis on the subject's emotions and the background it sets the mood for the picture.
ReplyDeleteThis photograph portrays a story of a man who has obviously experienced loss or went through a traumatic experience. The photographer uses the line of the trail, the negative space surrounding the subject, and the value of the highly saturated color scheme to capture an emotional an intimate moment. The negative space in the photo makes the man the prominent subject in the photograph, thus, creating an emphasis on the man. In conjunction the element of art and the principles of design develop a story by guiding the viewer through the image in order to establish a better understanding of the context of the photo.
ReplyDeleteI think a fire came through his neighborhood and burned down his house. The elements of art I see in this image is space and line. Line goes well with the principle of movement since the lines give the image a sense of depth. The elements of art and principles of design tell the story through the background.
ReplyDeleteThe photo tells a story of a man who seems to have lost something of strong emotional value to him. The elements of line and texture appear in the photograph, complimenting the principle of movement since the viewer is drawn into the background by the trail on the ground. The image's elements and principles tell the story by the man's appearance and the tarnished background.
ReplyDeleteIn this photo, it seems as if a natural disaster has occurred and burned this man's house down. It shows the man weeping and mourning over his loss. An element that is prevalent in this picture is lines. This creates movement throughout the photo which leads you to the background of the photo. The background and the man's expression represents what the picture is trying to say.
ReplyDeleteyou're so deep lyds
DeleteIn the Background it looks like there was a fire, the person in this photo looks sad, I think that maybe He lost something important to him in the fire.
ReplyDelete1. I think that the man is stressed about something, like where he is going.
ReplyDelete2.Space, Movement and Rule of thirds
3. Space help you focus on the man and what he is doing and how he is showing his emotions.
4. It shows that the man is having major feelings going on that you are focused on.

ReplyDeleteI agree with your statements(: but in your opinion how does line emphasize what the picture is trying to say?
DeleteIn this photograph there appears to have been a natural disaster and the man seems to me made or upset about what happened. The elements that show in this picture are lines and color. The element of lines is represented by the trail and how your eyes move down the picture following the trail. While the line leads you towards the path wondering what is at the end of the path, while the color makes you think that something like a fire might have happened.
ReplyDeleteThe subject looks devastated from what looks like a fire that has just burned down the place where he lives. The elements i see being used is line, space, and value. The element of value in this particular photo is dark in the background while the subject is lit up.It helps create a ominously dark vibe to the story told in the photo.
ReplyDeleteThis surfer is sad that the water has been sucked out from his surf spot. I see line, color, and space. I would chose line because it shows that this hasn't happen in one spot but the line goes way down the center of the picture. The colors in this picture make it feel very sad like you are the actual person there, the color of the sky and ground are very depressing.
ReplyDeleteKeifer Funk pr 2
ReplyDeletethis man is tired but must continue on his path. Value, space, lines, and a little color are elements of art in the image. a great sense of value is shown through the dark brown grass and the pale man and trail. The elements of art points out the main focus of the story behind the image.
The elements in this picture are space and line. In this picture you can see how the man is emotional for what happened in his surrounding, everything is destroyed.

ReplyDeleteI think this man is tired of trying to run a trail. He is giving up. The elements of art in this picture is color and space. Color creates a principle design due to the feeling of desperation the bland colors give off. The elements of are and principles of design tell the story through the desperate man and the background.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like something maybe burned and the guy looks sad. The elements that i see are space and texture. Space brings out the principles of movement and emphasis because it makes you look around the picture. They help tell the story behind it by giving you little clues and showing you the main focus of the picture.
ReplyDeleteto me it looks like the guy e is sad for some reason. the elements i see in this picture are line and texture. the texture comes from the terrain and you can kind of feel it. the line comes from the dirt path that leads your eye to the back of the picture.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI think that the subject in this photo is feeling upset and frustrated about what he sees in front of him; the burnt ground with a small path that is normal. The elements used in this photo are line. Line goes with the principle of movement and in this photo the fence and path create a sense of depth. through the depth you feel the depth of emotion the subject is feeling.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteTo me I think that this person is sad about what happen like his house was burn down and lost everything he had in that house. In the back ground it looks smoky and dull dry land place and that this person is in the left middle of the picture. There were an element of Lines and Space.
ReplyDeleteIn the picture I think the guy is wiping his eye from being maybe stress of losing something that he loved, like his house because of a fire. (The darkness in the ground leave assumption for that) He could be crying. He uses lines to attract the path of the trail. The color of the picture contrast from the color in the sky from the fog and the darkness of the dirt from the trail. Contrast is being shown by the hat of the guy is the only color besides the variety of shades of browns and grey that are portrayed in this picture.
ReplyDeleteIm guessing he's tired and in pain from the path he's on, feels weak. The photographer uses line and space.Line helps create design because your eyes move from the man to the trail.It helps tell the story because the picture creates emotion and seems as if the man must go on to the path, push forward.
ReplyDeleteI believe what happened here is a break-up and he wants to feel away from reality. The elements of art in this photo are color because the color of his shirt and the background are pretty trashy color. It helps create the sense of loneliness and the low vibe in the scene. They combine to create the story in various ways to sum up everything that goes on.
ReplyDeletethis is fire !! its has shape, form, line and balance it looks like she is sad about the past or looking back how far theyve traveled or maybe took a wrong path or it can just be that shes tired since it looks like its in the morning
ReplyDeleteto me it looks like the person is sad in it for some reason.and it has lines that you follow with your eyes.leading you somewhere.that looks like is up some Mountains.also another element likes lines in this picture is the texture,but i also think it is a rule of 3rd s too. It does not show how that guy got so upset.but it's still a good example of an element.
ReplyDeleteIn this picture, the man seems to be in a crisis and looks like he's going through a rough stage.This photo uses color for the element art because the fog creates a type of light in the picture. Also the different colors and backgrounds create the setting. It helps create contrast in the photo because the different lighting and shades. These descriptions help tell the story because it sets a more calm, kind of a negative feature to the story being told.
ReplyDeleteI think a fire came through his land and burned down his house. The elements of art I see in this photograph are space and line Line goes perfect with the principle of movement since the lines give the image a feeling of depth.
ReplyDeleteThis photo seems to be taking place after or during some kind of tragedy or disaster, something that would cause the subject to feel sad or overwhelmed. The elements of art I see in this photograph are lines (the path/trail on the right of the picture, the horizon), space (the negative space surrounding the subject), and emphasis (emphasis on the subject and their position). Using line to demonstrate principle of design, the photographer portrays many paths and trails the subject could follow, yet the subject stays where they are, appearing to be devastated by something. By doing these things, the photo conveys devastation, as story of tragedy or disillusionment.
ReplyDeleteI think the man in this photo is really upset, it looks like he is crying because the land is burned, and maybe his house was there.The element I see in this picture are texture and line. The elements of art can be colored because it combines the sense of the guy in this picture is feeling.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the subject is sad due to some bad news he received or possibly a fire. I can see the elements of value and space in the picture. Value helps create the principle of contrast by the burnt black land being heavily contrasted to the colors the man is wearing. These elements and principles of design put a bigger emphasize on the land and allows the viewer to easily determine what is going on in the picture and the reason for the man's emotions.
ReplyDeleteGreat observations and I also think it was a fire. If anything the ground does contrast to the man's skin tone, hat, and hair but not so much the shirt he is wearing for it is also black. Overall, great summary and mini-me's for life.

ReplyDelete1. I think that in this picture the man is in a very emotional place and is very distressed.
2. The picture depicts the story of a man who is at a very difficult time in his life, trying to contemplate what to do next.
3.The element used in this is color, the darker shades against the lighter dirt road makes it seem as if there was a fire.
4. There is contrast between the darker and lighter shades of brown.
It looks like the man is a farmer and has lost all his crops and by the way he is positioned it demonstrates his sadness over his burned crops.The photographer uses the line of the trail, the negative space surrounding the subject, and the value of the highly saturated color scheme to capture an emotional an intimate moment.
ReplyDelete1.) He is just a biker dude and he is really hot and just wiping off the sweat from his face
ReplyDelete2.) Elements that i can definitely see is the texture between the main focus and the background
3.) the texture in the in the photograph will bring out the contrast of the colors between the guy and the dark surface
4.)All the Elements and Principle's are bouncing back at each other and how all the colors pop out with the background and main point
i think the guy in the picture is upset. The elements used in this photo are line. through the depth you feel the depth of emotion the subject is feeling.
ReplyDeleteThis guy looks stressed out. He is on a trail.
ReplyDeleteHe seems lost/Worried about a situation.Lines such as the trail.
Now choose one of those elements of art. How does that element of art help create a principle of design in this photograph?
Contrast of the misty colors.
According to my calculations the man upfront is obviously upset or in dis-pare. Behind the man is a trail and its a line. It has a contrast of colors.
ReplyDeleteWell your calculations may have had a remainder because that man is upset because of his long journey ahead of him bro.
DeleteI agree with you Malik, that's good stuff right there.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAccording to my sources, the man in the picture appears to be sad and or upset about something. The line of the trail in the back round can suggest that the man walked to isolation too truly show his upset feelings.
ReplyDeleteNah fam you wrong
DeleteIt looks like something maybe burned and the guy looks sad maybe even lost. The elements that are shown is space and texture. Space brings out the principles of movement and emphasis because it makes you look around the picture. They help tell the story behind it by giving you little clues and showing you the main focus of the picture.
ReplyDelete👀 I see you Ms.S, Using the the design of lines with the ground in the bottom of the picture to rally bring out the background. Also the color scheme really makes this photo the bomb.com. Catch you on the other side -Schroeder
ReplyDeleteHe looks very stressed,poor,and sad. He also looks like a dirty guy.
ReplyDeleteAccording to my extensive research, the poor lad is upset over something. I would ask him what is wrong but he can't hear me.
ReplyDeleteWhere's your evidence?
DeleteThe man is worried or upset. Lines that help created the trail that is behind him. It helped me tell the story because it seems like he still has a long journey ahead of him before he gets to his destination.
ReplyDelete1. I think that the man in the picture is contemplating the long journey ahead and is distressed because of how much further it seems.
ReplyDelete2. I think the elements being used are lines, color, and space.
3. The lines in the photograph help create movement. Our eyes move down the path, as if we're seeing what the man was looking at.
4. The elements of art and principles of design help to tell the story. It helps us to better see what we're supposed to be looking at.
This man is posing for a photograph. The photographer uses rule of thirds to show the path behind the man stretching off into the distance.
ReplyDeleteThis man seems to be depressed because of a some sort of natural disaster. The colors are dark which makes it more believable that he is in some sort of despair.
ReplyDeleteThe subject in this photo breaks down in resignations after seeing his land and hard work taken away by fire.
ReplyDeleteColor is prominent, as much of the picture is comprised of neutral colors, and his baseball cap breaks that monotony.
This creates emphasis on the subject and his plight.
This design helps the viewer empathize with the subject's emotions.
I almost addressed the contrast between the neutral colors and the subjects hat, I would agree its important to the story portrayed in the photograph.
Deletenahh fan you wrong
DeleteI believe the man is stressed or upset about the burned land. The photographer uses lines and a strong focal point. The lines create movement throughout the photo. The elements help express the sadness in this picture.
ReplyDeleteThis image shows a man who has experiencing loss and is stressing over something. I see lines in the trail and on the mountains.The focus on the man provides interest on the background. It adds some balance to the photo.
ReplyDeleteThe man looks sad . He might be witnessing the harsh environment he might have seen as beautiful once. Line is used to create a pattern of the path to show where someone is intended to walk.
ReplyDeleteIn this picture it looks like his property was burned down in a fire. I see the element of art of lines and it guides you across the picture
ReplyDeleteThe aesthetics in the photo of a man illustrates a feeling of emotion because of the way his character is positioned (hands against his face) which possibly could identify a feeling of stress or sadness. The background enhances a feeling of loneliness personally because how it seems to manipulate the vast space within the subject and background.
ReplyDeleteIn the above photograph, Ryder captures and man who appears to be stressed out or worried about the long road ahead and the obstacles he may soon face. Ryder uses the line created by the jagged dirt trail to portray movement, as well as the neutral colors and their values to help set the mood of the photo.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Ryder captured the long road ahead to portray the man's struggles which leads your eyes through the picture
DeleteThe person in this photo looks sad, maybe upset, and since he's in an area that looks like that, the surroundings could be causing his distress. This picture shows elements of line, space, value, and texture. The line, mostly the path in the background, directs the eye and creates movement. The direction could mean that this person needs to go in that direction but isn't prepared for the journey.
ReplyDeletethe man in the picture looks stressed out. he looks sad and alone
ReplyDeleteI think the man has traveled a long way to realize that he wishes he stayed where he originally was. I see the elements of line and texture in the photograph. The element of line helps to establish the principle of movement. It guides me eyes through the photograph as it follows the dirt path the man has traveled into the mountains behind him.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like its a man who seems upset and the way he is wiping his face seems like his crying over something.The elements that are used in this imagine is line, space and emphasis. The trail demonstrates principle of design, and throughout the depth it looks like he has traveled a long dark and emotional way.

ReplyDeleteThe man depicted in this photograph seems to be going through some type of hardship seeing as he is so upset he is crying over an open field of burnt ruble. In this photo i see the use of line and space to create movement from the man through the field. These elements help emphasize the impact of whatever was in the field now that it seems to be gone.

ReplyDeleteTexture and line
The line creates movement and moves your eyes around the picture
Tells a depressed story because of the movement of the lines.
the man in the picture looks stressed out. he looks sad and alone
ReplyDeleteThe man Looks Depressed because there is a long way to go. The element is line going through the whole photo. It helps add story to the picture and emotion.
ReplyDeleteThe man could've been abandoned and he has to travel alone. Elements I see in the photograph are line and texture; the line created by the dirt path displays movement and your eyes are led down the trail. These elements of art and principle illustrate what a long road this man has ahead of him and the struggles he has and will face.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the elements you chose. I was curious though as to your explanation to why texture is displayed in this photo?
DeleteI think that the guy just got dumped by his girlfriend and she drove off leaving him behind. I notice the use of lines and texture. The use of line brings movement toward the main subject which is the guy in the picture. The elements and principles bring this picture to life, it is as if you are standing right next to him.
ReplyDeletei think the man is sad because the land is so barren and dry and sad looking.
ReplyDeletei see line and color.
line makes your eyes move through the picture looking at the land and the person.
color is dark and depressing.
So why do you think line and color allow the story within the image to flow so well?
DeleteI think the subject of this photo is crying because his property was burned. I see lines and texture in this photograph. The lines in this photograph create the principle of movement from the subject to the disaster in the background. The elements and principles of the photograph tell the story by moving the reader through out the background.

ReplyDeleteThe subject of the photo looks like he just heard some devastating news. The picture uses line to lead the eye through the photograph as well as space around the man. The lines in the photograph allow for eye movement. The space around the man creates a barren and lonely setting that contributes to the man's distraught state.
ReplyDeleteThe person looks as if a disaster has happened and doesn't know what to do. The line, that being the trail, helps create movement throughout the photo.
ReplyDeleteI think that this man is going through something emotionally devastating that has something to do with the burnt landscape around him.
ReplyDeleteIn this photograph, I see line and texture.
Line helps create emphasis on the man; the line of the trail focuses on him.
The elements and principles create a sad feeling in the image.
In this picture the man looks stressed maybe sad because something horrible happened. Strong focal point,line. The line helps create balance and movement. They help emphasis what happened.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your analysis and the elements because you are able to describe how they are used.
DeleteI believe that the person is currently going through tough times.The elements of art include a strong focal point (the man) and color; the colors complement each other. Color creates a principle of design of balance due to the similar hue of all colors in this image, which do not contrast and therefore relieve the eyes from having to absorb multiple vibrant colors. The elements of art and principles of design help tell a simple story of a man's difficult decision.
ReplyDeleteI like how you saw the color and how it relates to the man himself.
DeleteThe man Looks Depressed because there is a long way to go. The element is line going through the whole photo showing either the distance he has already traveled or how far he still has to go.
ReplyDeleteI believe the story is that the man is devastated because of whats in front of him. It is lines because of the background fading away. It helps the viewer to see the trail.

ReplyDelete1. I don't know whether or not the man is relieved from coming from the long distance or stressed because of the long journey that he has ahead of him.
ReplyDelete2. Within this picture is the Rule of Thirds where the man is in the bottom left of the picture. Along with that is the use of the pathway serving as line.
3. The pathway in the picture that creates the element of line also creates movement of the eyes to see the mountain/hill in the back and also makes the viewer realize the amount of open space in front of the man.
4. The elements of line and space help add to the story in which you can tell there was either a long journey the man just came from or that there will be a long journey ahead of him.
I think that the guy's dog ran away and he could not catch up so he stopped and began to cry. I think the element used in this picture is lines because the pathway leads your eyes away from the crying man which is also the path that his dog took to run away from him.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your story. I think the dog just wanted to find a better home and the owner regrets treating him so bad.
DeleteThe man in the pictures looks upset or devastated because of what he's seeing in front of him which looks debris from a fire so maybe his house was burned down. The elements I see in the picture are lines, texture, and space. The lines in the picture help the viewer recognize what's going in the picture and also it helps guide your eyes through all of the details in the picture.
ReplyDeleteI see a man who looks devastated and sad. He looks devastated because of the burned ground. I see the elements of line from the trail. The trail makes the viewer wonder if it ends or if it keeps going.
ReplyDeleteI think the man is upset both internally and externally. Externally, he is upset over the open field that is surrounded by debris or rubble from a possible fire, however internally he is most likely overwhelmed with the emotions and doesn't know how to deal with them, hence why his head is in his hands.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the elements of art used here include line and texture.
Line helps the picture keep going and leading your eyes past the subject.
I believe it helps tell the story because you could interpret it as pain. That path is never ending and so is the emotion pain. Yet, once we dwell on it and move past we see that there are other paths we can take and that life goes on through the struggle.
It looks like the man in this picture is devastated because the dirt path in the photo is too small for him to lay across. I see the elements of line and space in this photo.The space in this photo represents the loneliness the man feels.The elements help tell us a story by creating a visual of emotions.
ReplyDeleteThe guy looks likes hes taking a break from walking since in the photograph you can see him walking.The elements of lines are being used here the trail makes you look throughout the whole photograph.
ReplyDeleteThe man in the picture look devastated, i see line, space, and emphasis. The negative space gives a strong focal point which is the man.
ReplyDeleteThe photo shows a man frustrated at his long road ahead. He was lost then found a path and now sees that his journey is not yet over. The line element is used in this photo to reveal a path or direction within the picture.
ReplyDeleteThe man in the picture appears to be crying/mourning the loss of something that burned in the fire. I see color (or lack thereof) and texture. The color in the photo depicts the aftermath of a fire and the trails in the ground reveal what used to be. The color and texture create a contrast in what was and what is. The elements and principles create emotion in the picture and help reveal a story in the photo.
ReplyDeleteThe man shown in this photo seems to be devastated while crying in the middle of the field.In this photo I see the use of line and space to create movement from the field to the man. These elements help emphasize the impact of whatever was in the field that now seems to be lost.

ReplyDeleteNice response (: How do you think space helps the story in the photograph?
DeleteThe man in the photograph looks mentally exhausted. The elements of art shown are lines and space. By the use of lines it creates movement throughout the photograph since your eye follows the line. In all the line and negative space along with movement and emphasis on the man it tells a story that the man has a long road ahead of him (line and negative space showing there is a lot of road to cover/go down) and that it is up to him to go down that road (he is the main focal point it is all emphasized on him the line starting from where he is positioned).
ReplyDeleteWhat a deep response I really like it! In your opinion, is he more upset about going down the long road, or going through the journey alone?
DeleteIn this image I see an older gentlemen that is depressed or sad about something. I see lines and texture. Lines help connect with design because the path in the background helps make an emphasis point. These elements and principles help make the story because they represent the sorrow and the pain in the old man.
ReplyDeleteThe Man in the photograph looks like he is in a State of distress, the man is going through hardships externally and internally. The Photographer uses lines that leads to the mountain. The Color in the picture makes it all more Dark
ReplyDeletethe person in the picture looks like he doesn't want to walk that far i need lines cuz u see dirt path that makes u look at it. he looks really tired and there a lot of walking there that's why i say he tired from walking
ReplyDeleteI think that this a photo of a man after a fire almost burned down his house and he's crying out of joy that it did not. I see the use of lines and emphasis. The clear line of dirt on the ground draws the eye to it. As does the purple hat on the man, which in contrast with the mundane colors in the rest of the photograph, it pops out.
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if there was a large fire and the mans house was burned down and he is extremely upset. I see Line, texture, and value. I think the value of the picture puts emphasis on the person in the photo and makes the viewer feel what he is going threw. the principals of design and elements of art add everything together to show that this picture is a sad story or a tragedy.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more, I really like your response! (:
Delete-I think the story behind this image conveys a deeper emotion as the subject seems to be upset, distraught or even exhausted as he is holding his head in his hands.
ReplyDelete-The elements that appear in the image are texture and line.
-The element of texture brings out the principle of emphasis.
-These elements and principles help the photographer portray his/her story by the variations in the different elements and principles used. The path appears to be never ending, symbolizing pain or exhaustion and the colors/hue in the image are darker and more defined by the different textures found within the dirt and the subject's skin as well. I think the overall meaning is showing that through the path of life, people often grow tired and upset but it keeps going and they are encouraged to continue pushing past the obstacles.
I think the man is distraught and mentally tired because he wants to give up and not move forward following the trail. I also feel as if he is disappointed at himself for not completing what he was supposed to.. In this photograph I see the element of lines because of the dirt trail. I also see the element of space because there is just land and then the man is the center of attention. The element of line helps create a principle of design by showing the principle of balance and movement. It shows balance because the man is standing towards the left side and the trial is sort of towards the right side balancing out the photograph. The elements and principles help set out the story by making the trail and the man be more emphasized.
ReplyDeleteDavid Ryder utilizes the rule of thirds and strong focal point in his photograph. The rule of thirds allows the viewers to see the landscape background and the man is the object in photograph, which gives a sense of loneliness and grief.
ReplyDeleteI think the man is tired and he sees how much he has ahead of him and is stressed about completing the trail up ahead. Ryder uses the rule of third so you can see the background image and vantage point because you can see so far back.
ReplyDeleteI feel like the man has traveled a long way to realize that he wishes he stayed where he came from. I see the elements of line and texture in the photograph. The element of line helps to establish the principle of movement. It guides me eyes through the photograph as it follows the dirt path the man has traveled into the mountains behind him.
ReplyDeleteI think that he is sad because it look like there was a fire that destroyed his home. It uses lines that lead out eyes to the background. It helps us see the big picture of whats going on.
ReplyDeleteDavid Ryder uses the elements and principles of balance and contrast. David use's the rule of thirds in this photo. He also portrays a story of maybe a man who is lost in a bad thought or man who has given up at the the end of the road.
ReplyDeletewhy do you think that
DeleteThe subject in the photograph seems to be upset about something because he is hiding his face in his hands. The photographer utilizes a strong focal point and rule of thirds to make his composition more interesting. This photo uses line to lead your eyes down the path to the subject. Also the clear subject in front of a slightly blurred background gives the photo contrast.
ReplyDeleteI believe this is a picture of a man looking back at his hometown which has been ravaged by some sort of natural disaster. The rule of thirds and lines are used in order to make the eye move from the man down the road to let us see the total area that has been ravaged.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that this picture is either suppose to be sad or maybe its suppose to show frustration from how the man looks. Maybe hes frustrated about life or the fact that he has to walk .The elements that I see in this picture is line.The line comes from the dirt path that leads your eye out as far as you can see.
ReplyDeleteDavid R. uses this picture to capture the grief the man in the photo from possibly losing his home by looking at the burnt landscape. From looking at the photo i can see the David used the rule of thirds and he also has a strong focal point because the camera is mainly focused on the man in the foreground.

ReplyDeleteIn this picture the artist utilizes the rule of thirds and strong focal point in his photograph. The Man is used as a strong focal point and the pathway fading into the background is the rule of thirds. He appears to be rather unhappy or distraught with his decisions.
ReplyDeleteRyder uses the rule of thirds and a strong focal point in the picture. I think that the guy has put himself somewhere vacant to think about something that may be bothering him. Or he is running away from a struggle he is having. The element of art that is used is space because the photo has a lot of negative space leaving just the main focal point as the subject. The space that is used helps show the movement that the photo creates with the little pathway shown in the photo. This adds to the story of the photo by making the appeal towards the guy and the pathway.
ReplyDeleteI think the man has a journey ahead of him and he is upset because he does not want to move forward. I see line within the photograph. This allows you to see the balance it has because the colors are not contrasting and compliment each other really well. It does not distract your vision. The surrounds and elements of art/principle help convey the dreary mood within the photograph.
ReplyDeleteI think that in the picture the man in the photograph looks sad maybe he lost his home or he could be lost and doesn't no where to go. The elements of art I see in this picture is line and value. I believe that the value helped the photographer use emphasis in principles of art in the photo. Elements or art and principles of design help tell a story because, the different elements or principles they use can make you see or interpret different things in different ways.
ReplyDeleteI think the man has just discovered that his field has been burned so he can't grow crops, or maybe his land was sold and he is sad. The photographer uses rule of thirds, strong focal point, and the element of line in this photo. The element of line creates the principle of movement as our eyes go from the man to the line/path that goes off in the distance. The principle helps convey the story because as our eyes are taken around the photo, we see the desolation of the place and the hopelessness stretching far away as the man despairs.
ReplyDeleteIn this picture, the man looks like he is wiping tears away while he stands on a trail. Texture is used to create unity within the picture. Texture is used because it looks like you can feel the aspects of the mans face.
ReplyDeleteIn this photo the photographer is trying the express the point of the road less traveled and the decision to make it. The elements of art portrayed are rule of thirds and line which play a role in the photo to help you understand it.
ReplyDelete1. It looks like the man is sad that his friends left him behind and go on.
ReplyDelete2. The elements of art I see is space and lines.
3. The lines are used to create movement; leading your eyes to see where that path leads to.
4. Elements of art and principles of design helps you create a story behind the photograph and makes it sense . The more you use them well helps the story to get interesting.

ReplyDeleteIn this picture David Ryder uses the rule of thirds and a strong focal point in this photo. By using this method you can see the man distraught. Which the strong focal point on him helps point that out. Also I think there was a fire and this man was some how connected in what was burned.
ReplyDeleteseems like this picture is telling a story about the person who covering there face it looks as the person has lost something or experienced a disaster the element of art in this picture would be line and could also have the style of a strong focal point the element of line in this picture shows the inner emotion of the feel towards the picture.
ReplyDeleteThe photographer uses value in the ground/ surrounding landscape and the clothes the man is wearing to emphasize the dark and depressing theme in the photo. The man seems to be either unhappy about the life he has chosen (the dirt on his hands and aged/worn out clothing suggest hard work with little pay) or unsure about making a decision about his future.
ReplyDeleteI think the main focus of the frame is a man who sees how much farther he has of his journey and is mentally exhausted so is taking a break and burying is head in his hands as a symbol of his tiredness. David uses color, value and space in his photograph. Value helps with this picture because it creates a more darker mood, a mood that gets your thinking more of the story behind the man.
ReplyDeleteThe trail in this photo could signify how far the man has come in life and the obstacles he's faced, which leaves him depressed and frustrated signified by his head in his hands. The elements of art in this picture are balance (with the man on the left side of the picture and the trail on the right side) and lines (with the long, curving line of the trail). The element of lines helps demonstrate emphasis, since the line of the trail leads the eyes right to the subject, which is the distraught man. A story of trials and tribulations is told with the focal point on the sad man and the long obstacle of the dirt trail.
ReplyDeleteIn this picture i see a man, who looks to be upset, standing in front of a path that leads down a field.The elements of art that i see being used are lines and space. Lines are used to help create movement as the Principle of design because it draws your sight from the man up the trail and around the frame. The principle of design help tell the story by leading your eyes to what could be making him upset or disappointed.
ReplyDeletein this picture i see strong focal point and rule of thirds. rule of thirds goes with movement because the man is leading the trail but at the same time hes the focus.
ReplyDeleteIn this picture, this man looks mentally destroyed and hurt because he is tired of walking this trail, and his been walking this trail for many hours and is frustrated. This picture uses the rule of thirds, and strong focal point. The rule of thirds really commemorates the principle of design because he uses a landscape type angle which is used when using a grid.The elements of art and principles of design really bring out the story of a man who is frustrated and is tired of walking the trail. He utilizes a variety of colors and objects in the picture. He is filled with grief and is emotionally distraught.
ReplyDeleteWhat i think in this picture is rule of thirds and Strong focal point. And i am pretty sure that this guy dosnt wanna walk again because he is crying like a little........
ReplyDeletebruh this is bad
Deletesorry
DeleteThe man in the picture looks devastated,stressed out maybe because his house used to be there and now its gone? The element I see here is Lines and space because the path. This picture helps us create our story with the visual emotions on it.
ReplyDeletei agree
DeleteI think this man in the photograph is maybe devastated because of something that has happened to him causing him to place his head in his hands feeling exhausted of thinking about the situation. The picture uses the elements of lines and color to make the picture more interesting. The line in the picture help create the principle of movement. Helps give the photograph some background story.
ReplyDeletei agree
DeleteThe story being told seemed to be about a man who is devastated because his land burned down and nothing is left but ashes. The element that us used is space because there is a lot of negative space in the background. The negative space creates emphasis on the sad man. This adds to the story by making the appeal to the man and the pathway.
ReplyDeletei agree
DeleteIn this photo, the man looks mentally hurt and exhausted because he can't continue on the trail and it seems as if he has given up. The elements that appear in this photograph are lines and and a variety of objects ad colors in the picture. You can see the line in the trail as it leads off into the distance and you can see the rule of thirds because the man is on the left side of the photo exposing the trail to the right. The elements of art and principles of design really bring out the story of a man who is emotionally hurt and very exhausted. He has given up and mentally has gotten the best of him.
ReplyDeletei agree
DeleteWhat do you think is going on in this picture? someone taking a break after a long day of work. What is the story? someone that works really hard everyday maybe. What elements of art do you see? value, texture, Color-Brightness, and Space. Which helps create a principal of design? value- giving it dark and light spaces having other things stand out more than others just like contrast does in the principals of design. it helps keep the picture together as they work together
ReplyDeletei agree
Deletethis man seems confused about something but he just dose not seem to find out what is confusing him. rule of thirds and movement help this picture cause your eye moves around the picture to see what is like the setting and rule of thirds because you see the man in the center and then the dirt as the background.
