Types of Perspective in Photography
Linear Perspective: I chose this photo because it looks like its getting smaller in the distance as the picture goes on.
Rectilinear Perspective: The lines in the building are rectangle, the are very straigh and the windows are even with one another.False Perspective: I chose this photo because this bridge is supposed to be straight but it was taken at a birds eye view, so it looks distorted.
Overlap Perspective: I chose this picture because the pyramids overlap one another and give it an overlap look, they are on the same line of sight.
Dwindling Size: I chose this photo bceause just because the crayons are smaller in the backround doesnt mean the crayon close up is bigger than all the rest, its just closer to us so it seems bigger.
Volume: I chose this photo because the shadow of the person seems more bigger and dramatic than the person actually is.
Atmospheric perspective: I chose this photo because there actually looks like there is air in the atmosphere it kind of gives it a foggy look.
Vanishing Point: I chose this photo because the halls in this photo get smaller as they are further away, and they look more wider close up because they are closer to us in the foreground.
Birds eye view: I chose this photo because it comes from a birds eye view like up in the sky. The bird would be looking down from in the air at the water and the houses/buildings.

Peer Critique
Description: Lauren did this photo of a little boy sitting down on a couch. He looks like he'd be doing something like watching tv at nightime because it looks like he's wearing pajamas and it looks dark in the room. She used a tool that made sparkles in the backround which draws attention to the little boy.
Analysis: Lauren made the little boy look like an elf. She made his ears look pointy but not too much where it looks unreal. She made his nose a little pointy to make him look more like an elf. The little boys outfit I think really made the picture because its kind of "Christmasy" and it adds to her elf theme.
Interpretation: This artwork shows me that it is around Christmas time and he gives away an idea of what the little boy is doing. He looks very into the t.v and the sparkles draw attention to the little boy. I feel like this mood is very calm and relaxing. I think its calm and relaxing because he looks like hes in pajamas and he is sitting down on a couch and he looks like hes drawn into what ever he was watching.

Iconic Photo Analysis
William M. Vander Weyde (American, 1871-1929)
The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia
Weyde took photographs that were strong and exciting and show traditional ideas and composition, content and style. He was willing to photograph things from baseball to executions, and they offered a fascinating look into the past.
The photo interested me because it reminds me of things people used to do to others in the past. The boys facial expressions make him seem like hes not worried and that he just wants to get it over with, and being electrocuted is such a scary thing.
This photo is significant because it shows a real thing that used to happen to people in the past when they thought or found out people did something bad or wrong, or maybe they even done it because of his color..
