Alumni Exhibit

 

     I observed this picture in the Art Museum. When I fist saw this picture, I immediately, recalled a Japanese Restaurant which I used to go when I was in Korea because the Japanese Restaurant used to have the wood wall. The wood wall on the middle of this picture is one of the features of this pictures. Not only the wood wall, but also the yellowish brick wall also recalled the restaurant. I feel calm and clean in this picture.
     The light is an important factor in this picture. It seems early morning or sunset time because the light's color is yellowish. Through the light, I could assume the time when the author took this picture. Also the through the light, there is a shade of tree that I could assume there is a tree in front of this wall. If there is no shadow, this picture would be normal and dull, but the light saved this picture I think.
     I think this picture's theme is tree. All materials in this picture are related a tree. First, the middle wall is made by tree. Second, there is a shadow of tree. Third there is a reflection of tree on two windows which are placed above the wooden wall. Because there is a same feature in this picture, it became special.
    Through observing the picture, I could learn about how to observe and critique pictures. Also I could have deep thoughts about the photographer who took this picture and it was good chance to stand on the photographer's side and thought about why the photographer took this picture and what was the purpose of taking this picture. In addition, I could think about my photography skills as well.
