Visual Composition

This image was one of my favorites. It focused on such a simple seen, but you can pull a lot out of this one picture. For starters the the color, gray/tan? Boring and dull until you look at the meaning of what "boring" is to them. Their home or places for shelter. Then its not so boring because we seem to take for guarantee what we have. The colors seem to pull off a closer and more intense preview of this emotional capture. The towels or rugs hanging from the tents are strong because there are only a few to focus on, but are warmer colors that the photographer wanted us to pull our eye to them. The photographer wanted to catch our eye to something more.

Form is the objective of this picture because of the simple setting, until you see the kids. They are wearing colors that our a cooler tone then standing out, but your eyes bring you right to them. The frame magnetism is the kids (the dot in the field of vision). The pictures form focuses on being comfortable because that is there home. The article talked about the element of the points in the picture and comparing balance.

The line of the picture we focus on the angles captured by the tents. The article calls this a diagonal lines that direct force and depth into the picture. This captures words that help us narrate the picture (in which we don't really know the true meaning). The line connects within the movement of the picture. The points of the tents make a running movement in a diagonal force towards the top of the picture.

Lastly the culture and truth of the picture captures a story that makes us believe its not easy to live where these kids are, and that their daily life includes tents, dirt, clothes and shoes, and rugs as a home. The true meaning of this culture may be unknown but by reading into the truth of the picture, us as humans, like to make our own stories on what we see. From the objects to the people the picture can tell us a story in a visual composition in how we view it. We as humans have been taught to learn and see things to understand an over meaning.
