Reflection Journal

Unity- The Chicken finger pizza shows the unity of the cheese and meat. They are all melted together for a delicious taste.

Emphasis – The eyes in this picture are more prominent that the normal size of eyes. It shows how sometimes we forget to look at everything else when we are focused on one specific area.

Balance- Every time I look at this picture I feel a sense of calmness. The picture shows a easy flow from the bottom to the top. The blankets are wrapped around him and his calm expression makes this picture well balance when we think of snuggling.

Proportion- I used this picture because I felt it portrayed the size of humans and the world. It is harmonious and flows beautifully.

Texture – The ice cube is smooth but shows plenty of texture inside. I found that this picture was perfect to show that texture could be inside things that aren’t considered very textured.

Contrast – The snow everywhere in this photo makes it easy for the eyes to follow flawlessly through the entire picture. The heavily saturated blue sky became the perfect background for this shot.

Pattern- this photo could also be considered an line element, but after looking at it for several minutes you tend to notice all of the patterns peeking out from the snow. The way the lawn was mowed and had left and distinct pattern. The footprints from a dog run through out the snow covered grass. The roads meet to also form this pattern, or shape. The fence can also be considered the same pattern as everything else.

Line- the lines from the siding on the house and also the lines that are on my son’s shirt give the picture a unique design. The eye can imagine how far the lines go and what shape it would show from a distance. This image encourages the viewer to see beyond the picture’s lines.

Space – The empty space that is around the paper helps the viewer focus only on the fortune cookie message. This creates a view that people can relate with. When you open up a fortune cook and read its message, you are completely focused on only that message and not the background. Sometimes you could find yourself not even truly seeing the background.

Value – the image displays extreme darkness and light. There are a great amount of different shades used in this picture.

Movement- the constant movement while driving and the hustle and bustle of the commute can be seen in this picture. The people that are all moving in the same direction show movement. The viewer can relate to this picture and imagine this turning into slow traffic on the highway.

Color- the playground is colorful and emits happiness with the primary colors they used. When you look at this picture you can feel happiness and the imagination of children’s laughter.

Shapes- each shape is the same, perfectly round and its contents are as well. Liquid takes the form of any container. People sometimes feel like they have to conform to specific ideals.
