Response 2/4/20

The girls in the paintings look melancholy. The girl in the first paintings is looking straight ahead, a sad expression on her face. The girl in the second painting is posing, but she doesn't look happy to be doing it.
If you look closely you can see all the brush swirls and patterns were these were painted. I think they were painted using oil paints because of the thick textures.
The reds backgrounds in these images set the mood. There appears to be a somber mood mixed with some tension.
The artist wanted to convey that not every painting needs to be bright and cheerful. Any facial expression and color pairing can create any mood.

Cubism questions

Steps -      The photographer first had to choose a place to take his photos. Then he took his photos, and by looking at the image it looks as if he took multiple at different times of the day. Once he had his pictures he had to composite them all into one.        I would say between 50 and 100 pictures were used to make this image. The pictures were not taken at the same time of day as some are darker then others. In some of the squares there is a photoshop enhancement of fuzziness, as if the photographer wants those slightly blurred out. I noticed that the photographer tended to take the pictures from the same angle. All the pictures are pointing the same way as if the camera did not move.  Overall I think that this project was not an easy feat. From the looks of it, it appears to have taken quite a while to have pieced everything together. As well as add the photoshop enhancements and figure out which square fits well.
