Assignment 1














































I chose these three images because the notion of framing seems the most noticeable. The first image of the colorful markers shows an illusion of continuation. On the right there are hints of more markers but the frame cuts them off. This makes the viewer wonder how many markers there really are. The second image is a photograph of Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" from the Sistine Chapel. However the angle and lighting puts Adam mostly out of the frame and in the shadows. This different perspective creates a different tone than the original painting. The final photograph is a self-portrait within the reflection of the television and glass below. This is kind of a return to a previous series I did about reflections and space. I also liked how I was framed in the photograph
