Critique

This photo was taken by New York Post’s photographer, Michael Norcia. The photo of this woman holding up the sign “Peace Love Happiness To All” puts major contributions because it’s at the concert Woodstock. This woman and many other people show their love and care for the world and by Norcia taking these pictures and showing others gains improvement in the world becoming a more peaceful place.
The hue of this photo appears to be black and white. Both the content and emphasis brought into this photograph is peace, love and happiness that this lady brings to everyone. And to interpret what is going on in this photograph, she is sharing as much love as she can with anyone and everyone; no matter who they are. The realism of this photograph is in the field of Woodstock where everyone shares all of their love and comfort, which is what everyone in the world should be doing. This graphic is a printed photo. It’s figurative because of the people that are in this image. The movement is shown with how the lady is holding her poster up high, for everyone to see. The sensory grabs your attention with both your sight and emotions.
“Today is the day of Woodstock, and I am so excited! I love being there with all people that share the same ideas and feel the same way as I do. And that’s peace, love and happiness. I know that all of us and even more people out there can make a difference in this world. Not just by fighting and having all these wars. They will see someday. And they will regret having ever to go to war. It’s a waste! As time goes on more and more people will realize how much war is ruining us and come together as one. It all just starts here, at Woodstock. Everyone making signs and showing love and care. That’s all this world really needs. And I know that someday… people will realize what they are missing out on… and join us all! It all just starts with one person and continues on and on, no matter what happens, there will be that one person standing up for peace, love and happiness. Today… I’m that person… and someday… I will make a difference. No matter whom you are and what race you are, I do not care; we all are the same in one way. We all want peace. We just show we do in different ways.”

My First Critique

This painting is the first prize winner at Miramonte High School created by a senior named Jin Yu. It all started at The Peace Center and held its 10th Annual dinner. The contest was called "Peace Through Art and Writing Challenge." The topic was: Describe two acts of kindness you have seen or heard about that touched you deeply and created a feeling of compassion. How has this experience affected you and how have you incorporated it into your life? Jin Yu and his piece called "Agape" took over and won with awarded cash prizes contributed by the George Miller Youth Fun, Mountain Camp, Walnut Creek Police Officers Association and the Schmidt Family.

The realism of this art brings out the sensory of the hands reaching out to find someone who is there. Some of the shades are shown to look darker to show different kinds of races in the art. It creates harmony just by the way the hands come about the spaceous blocks. The juxtaposition of the hands creates movement of being as one. The figure of the hands is chiaroscuro and the shaping is perfect.

"Why can't we all just get along? Why do we all have to judge about who we are and where we come from? Why can't we just stand as one instead of being apart and let people discriminate and tell us where we belong? That's what starts wars and fights! If one person does one thing to change the world to peace, others will realize they want it too. Just reach out and show others you are there for them! Regardless of what race you are. Reach out and show them that you care and want this world to be a peaceful, loving place. And that no one should be afraid anymore. Peace is now making its stand and will not back down! More and more people each day realize they are sick of fighting over stupid things and want to make a change. The more kind and caring people there are, the more of a chance that there will be peace one day. And it will bring more love and happiness in the world! <3>

I changed my mind

Happiness

I decided to do happiness because it seems like it would be a fun topic to deal with. There are many ways to show happiness. And I'm a very happy person so I think that will help me with this portfolio. :)
