Mini Art School Blog Entry Part II-Images from The Library of Congress



Mini Art School Blog Entry #4
Part II
For this assignment I chose the following:
Go online to visit the Library of Congress Prints & Photographs Reading Room at http:// www.loc.gov/ rr/ print . Click around until you find several very different photographs you really like. Use the elements and principles of design to explain why you like the photos.

I selected 3 images that I really enjoyed viewing.




To most eyes, the visual alignment of these images is structured through association. Note how the edges of the various elements provide a strong clear horizontal and vertical alignments to help the viewer focus on the components within the composition. There's a clear order of visual dominance between elements in all three images and this acts as a navigational guide to help the viewer navigate through the images. Additionally, the viewer also has clear meaning. Many of the graphic images that were recreated used unique methods of construction and alteration. However, the focal points within each images creates a wonderfully appealing aesthetic flow.
