Carrie Burgoon: Perspective Blog


1. My first thought is that this picture is a little out of focus. I see the bowl first and then I notice the black trim on the wall. It shows good value and one point perspective.

2. This is an image of a white bowl with a simple green design of flowers and vine. The bowl is in the middle of the picture plane and is sitting on a white floor in front of a white wall with black trim. The picture is taken from a straight on view so the vantage point would be in the very middle of the horizon line.

3. There is mostly neutral colors in the picture, nothing really bright. Most of the lines are horizontal or vertical the only curved lines are the lines on the bowl. If i were to change this composition in any way I might put the bowl off to the left or right a little so your eye didn't just stay in the middle of the image.

4. This image doesn't tell a story but I would probably just call it "Single Bowl"

5. Most of Edward Ruscha's work is more like pop art and isn't really of objects but of words. There is one image I found of his that is a painting of a single bowl in front of a wall, which is where I got this idea. His work had more color and texture but it is the same basic idea.
