Change

DESCRIBE: The subject of this image is the Boston Harbor. The setting is also the Boston Harbor. I created this image by using a picture I took of the Boston Harbor and putting a picture of an article of the Boston Tea Party over it in photoshop. I thought it would work perfectly for this project because the Boston Tea Party was a changing point. It led to America's Independence. The boats were all grouped together and I picked a news letter that would have larger words so they were easier to see and united the image better.

ANALYZE: This image shows the composition grouping because most of the boats are grouped on the right side of the image. It also shows the composition low key lighting because I wanted the image to be darker to show that this was a hard time for people and why a change was necessary. Originally, I was going to make up the image of just the harbor but then I realized it wouldn't show my purpose clearly unless I included the tea party somewhere. That's why I decided to add the article.

EVALUATE: The meaning behind this image is to show the effect the Boston Tea Party had. The Boston Tea Party took place because the colonies didn't want to be used anymore, so they stood up for themselves. If they hadn't, British and the parliament would've remained in charge and we wouldn't have the freedom we do today. This project relates to my life because I'm an American, and this is something I learned all about growing up. America wouldn't be America. I think this image could be stronger if the words could be seen better. The boats sort of cut off the words, so next time I would try to find a better way to place the article over top.
