In this photo, my primary focus was to capture the pattern of light and shadow evident in the foliage of the trees. I feel like texture also features heavily; the individual texture of the leaves, in addition to the texture of the fence.
The tree-like pattern on the can of Arizona Ice Tea caught my attention, as well as the pattern on the bench behind it and the pattern of the shadow on the ground below. More than anything else, though, I wanted emphasis to be the primary principle of art; the Arizona Ice Tea can standing alone.
I liked the movement of the pole loops as they circled through the photograph, as well as the color contrast of the yellow pole against the brown fence background. Space is also an important aspect; the foreground, middle ground, and background are clearly defined in the photo.
When I was in the art room, I happened to look in one of the supplies bins and I absolutely loved the color contrast of the oil pastels. Interestingly enough, the haphazard pattern of the oil pastels seems to almost blend together to create a sense of unity in the photograph. At the same time, the individual shape of each pastel is not lost, but rather incorporated into the movement of the piece as a whole.
There was another supply bin filled with chalk pastels, and while there wasn't an overwhelming sense of unity in this piece, I did like the texture of each chalk pastel, as well as the pattern of the stacked containers.
