Dorothea Lange Be sure to do your research on the artist and their work and tell me what you believe has motivated the pieces you’ve selected in addition your personal thoughts and feelings on them. Consider addressing some of the following questions about each piece you’ve selected for your response: What is the image “About”? What is the genre? Is there an obvious objective? i.e.. propaganda etc. What design elements are being used to create dynamism? What is the Emphasis of the image? Where is my eye going and why is it going there? What was the intended Emphasis? What are the technical considerations? Does the technique help or detract from the intended message or concept? What is the photos emotional or psychological impact?
