Still Life Photos:
Candy-
The images below show a series of rows of starbursts, primarily arranged by color, in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Instead of doing row for each color, I tried to organize them so the colors got lighter as your eyes move across from the corner. The images I chose to put on my weebly show a variety of perspectives of the same scene, with different angles and sections of the layout. The goal of this still life was to use colors and organization to produce a scene aesthetically pleasing to the eye, showing the starbursts in a manner atypical to the way you usually see them.

Pouring Spring:
For these series of still life images, I took a small teapot from when I was younger and picked flowers that were similar to the pattern on the teapot set. I arranged the flowers to appear like a stream of tea being poured from the pot, into a matching cup. The different perspectives and use of black and white vs. color in these pictures changes the scene a lot, each one causing you to look at it in a new light. The two pictures in color show sharp contrast to the white backdrop, the colors drawing your attention. In the black and white image however, there is less contrast, and you are not as immediately drawn to the flowers. The black and white image has another major difference, as it includes hands holding the tea set. This difference adds to the story of the image, implying there are people and making you wonder the occasion.

Caroline's Backpack:
This still life is of my sister Caroline's backpack, and the contents spread around it. Inspired by the still life series of the insides of women's purses we saw in class, this was an attempt to learn more about someone, this time by their backpack. The first image shows the full scene, including the top of her backpack and the fan of her things spread out above it. In this first image you can start to notice several things that could hint toward her personality, the frayed music folder, the John Green novel, the mismatched pencils. In the next image we zoom into her backpack, highlighting the bright colors by making the rest of the background black and white. I also chose to zoom into her folders, showing her handwriting and doodles titling each subject.
