I chose to put myself in this picture because I've seen this picture a lot. Right away when I heard about this project I knew I wanted to do this picture. So, I put a picture of me that I found and decided to use it because the picture I used of me was perfect for this historical event.

Plan your shots: Figure out what you want to do, plan, plan, plan. 6. Let it evolve on its own: Kind of like a candid photograph, unexpected. 7. Take photos until you find the direction or purpose. 8. Shoot every single thing: Take many pictures. 9. Ask for help with image selection: Ask someone without personal feelings. 10. Tell your story. Pop Art is an art movement that emerged in the mid-1950s in Britain and the late 1950s in the United States An art movement that began in the U.S. in the 1950s and reached its peak of activity in the 1960s, chose as its subject matter the anonymous, everyday, standardized, and banal iconography in American life, as comic strips, billboards, commercial products, and celebrity images, and dealt with them typically in such forms as outsize commercially smooth paintings, mechanically reproduced silkscreens, large-scale facsimiles, and soft sculptures. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_art http://www.dictionary.com/browse/pop-art Roy Lichtenstein did pop art that has a familiar girl with blonde hair, natural colors in his paintings, and kind of comic looking images. Richard Hamilton's work wasn't exactly the pop art that we are familiar with, but his looked as if he just put faces and things together. Tom Wesselmann's work was very unique to all the other pop art artists. His art was kind of inappropriate. They're good, nut super inappropriate. At least most of them are, others aren't so bad.

Describe: These photos show us the fashion back through the !948's-65's. There are women posed in highly fashion clothing. Most of them with smiles or a serious posing face. Most of them have the city background in the back, and others have just a plain white background.
Analyze: The photographs are created by woman whom are in clothes that are in, at the time period. Mostly eye level angles are in most of Parks fashion photo essay. But one of them has a little bit of a high angle. The photos are mostly in black and white besides a couple of them, but the black and white make it feel like they're much older. Interpret: I don't think Parks is trying to send out a special message with this photo essay, but i think he was just trying to have fun with some photo shoots. Photo shoots that have to do with fashion, because maybe it was the in thing back in the day. Maybe he just wanted to try something new and different. Judge: The photos are very well taken. They really tell a story about how the fashion was back in the day. The angles are really good, giving the images a more dramatic look. The time period was perfect, and to top it off the locations. The locations made the women look like they're supposed to be on the front of a magazine, making it look so realistic. http://www.gordonparksfoundation.org/archive/fashion-1948-65/artworks?view=thumbnails |
