The picture that our group chose to do is clearly a common one amongst the class. It is the the photo mural by Lahore called, "In the Courtyard of the Hazrat Mian Shrine". It was in our minds, the most realistic piece of artwork in the gallery. The feathers of the birds were extremely detailed creating a very significant amount of texture in the piece. It looks as if all of the birds are amount to take flight following the ones which already have. It is sort of a controlled chaos that is happening. Overall, this was our favorite work in the gallery.

My group for this project has chosen a contemporary photo mural that involves a group of pigeons all seeming to fly away at the same time. The way that the pigeons are flying it implies that something has spooked them or startled them which made them fly away. I thought that was one of the best parts of the piece because it makes the viewer really interested in the piece and it puts a story behind it in their minds. I see a sort of horizon line behind the pigeons as well and that creates visually pleasing imagery for the viewer. Also i feel as though the colors that are used are analogous because they are close to each other on the color wheel and this also gives a certain effect to the image
ReplyDeleteI also see a lot of blue and orange which are complementary. Did you notice that?
DeleteI liked this picture a lot. Not only is it a realistic piece but the photo is so vivid that it captures your eye and holds your attention. The building in the background gives it a two point perspective and almost makes it look like the birds have two different directions they can fly in. It looks to me like some of the birds were done with this spot so they fly off together to go somewhere else while the other birds stayed.
ReplyDeletegood for you for noticing the two point perspective.
DeleteOther things to point out about this piece: Motion and the contrast of geometric shapes (windows) and the organic shaped (birds).
