Story Pictures

What do you see?

In the first portrait, I see a  little girl holding a balloon and a little boy leaning on a tree reading a book. The tree is big  and I can also see a large grassland field on the back. On the second picture, I see two hands reaching for the ballon on the bottom string and it is closed up on the balloon and the hands of the two children. On the back of the balloon is the trunk of the tree in which the balloon seems to be resting upon. Then the last picture, I see the little girl holding a weapon, specifically a knife. In the back we can see that the balloon is adrift and the area is in a stranded place.

How is the work organized?

The portraits look wonderful with a lot of contrast in each of them. The mist also creates a gloomy somewhat mysterious feel to the picture. The last two images have a soft focus on the background making the pictures nice and soft. On the last picture on the bottom corners show how the weeds are more in focus and and the background in soft focus and the little girl is in focus.

What is the artist trying to communicate?

What the artist is trying to communicate is that a little girl is just walking with a balloon and the little boy is just leaning on the tree waiting for the moment to get the balloon. Then they end up fighting for the balloon and the last image is based upon ones own opinion of what happened to the story.The images itself are bright except for the last one because it creates a different mood to the story and how it is told. The story can go any way. As mentioned before the images have a lot of contrast on the first two giving somewhat of a happy feel.

What do you think of the work?

I think the pictures turned out how we wanted them to be. The end result of the printed images fit together and works out to how the story can be told.
