Which areas appear clearest or sharpest in the photograph? Which do not?
Which areas of the photograph are brightest? Are there any shadows? Does the photograph allow you to guess the time of day? Is the light natural or artificial? Harsh or soft? Reflected or direct? Are there objects in the photograph that act as lines? Are they straight, curvy, thin, thick? Do the lines create direction in the photograph? Do they outline? Do the lines show movement or energy? Are there any objects, shapes or lines which repeat and create a pattern? Do you see geometric (straight edged) or organic (curvy) shapes? Which are they? Is there depth to the photograph or does it seem shallow? What creates this appearance? Are there important negative (empty) spaces in addition to positive (solid) spaces? Is there depth created by spatial illusions i.e. perspective? If you could touch the surface of the photograph how would it feel? How do the objects in the picture look like they would feel? Is there a range of tones from dark to light? Where is the darkest value? Where is the lightest? |
WWW:I think that this photo represent some on the formal element very well. This is because it has some line in it also it uses light to create the shadow on the other side on the wall. Finally it also has some repetition in the shadow on the wall to make a pattern.
|
EBI:This photo does not really show any of the formal elements that clearly which means that it has not really followed the task which was set. The only one that you might say it has in it is lines and even that has been used in a very boring way.
|
WWW:The task which was set was that I had to use one formal element and I chose lines. I feel that this photo best represents this because there are many different lines nut in many different ways not just in one object.
|
EBI:I feel that this photo is the one which followed the rules but did not really come out that well. This is because it is not really straight and the photo is just a bit to dark.
|
WWW:I feel that this was the best photogram that I made. This is because you really cant see what it is and that is the whole point of making a photo abstract.
|
EBI:This is the least abstract photo that I have made. This is because you can clearly identify at least one object in this photograph and that is a number six stencil.

I feel that this the best photo that I took in the half term project. This is because when people look at it they find it very hard to know what it is and sometimes they can never work out what it actually it. Also I like the way the shadows are around the centre object in the middle.
|
This photo actually is not really following the idea of what the photos are meant to be like. This is because you know what it is as soon as you look at it and that is really not the point. Maybe if I just took a picture of the metal ball closer up the photo would have turned out more abstract.

The inspiration for this challenge is from the old party game called 'Puzzle'Em' that we got shown at the start if this project. 'Puzzle 'Em' is a game which has 24 photo cards and the aim of the game is to guess what they are. The reason it is had is because the photos have been taken form strange and unusual angles.
