Abstraction

For this project we were assigned to take abstract images. I used food coloring, a little bit of water, and a white bowl. I used my Canon Rebel T5 and photoshop to take and edit these images. Some of the photographic techniques I used are: High key lighting, selective focus is used because some things are in focus and other are not, the bottom photo is formal balance because both sides of the photo are the same, grouping is used because there are lots of little dots around the bowl, and angle down is used because I had to angle the camera town to take this photo. I used the following elements of art in my artwork: the different colors of the rainbow represent color, the circular dots represent dots, and the smoothness of the colored water shows texture. To add interest to my composition, I used these principles of design: the balance used in this photo is formal balance, there are different contrasts in color and textures, the dots and colors show patterns, and there is emphasis on the colored water in the center of the photo. This image relates to my life because I like to bake and I use these different colored food coloring to add interest to my pieces.
