HW for March 9 - image analysis

  In this blog you will find an interesting, but not very technical, analysis of some pages of Citizen 13660:

http://www.discovernikkei.org/en/journal/2010/10/27/mine-okubo-citizen-13660/

Choose one of the instances and use your skills to improve on that analysis, considering the article on moodle about approaching compositional elements of images (read especially from p. 13 onwards), and the following sum-up:

1) Sensory elements: colour, lighting and texture; 

- shadows, heavy lines, points of light, fabrics and materials

- what emotions are conveyed

2) Structural elements: axes, perspective and depth; 

- horizontal axis - left (given) and right (new)

- vertical axis - up (ideal, spiritual) and down (real, sensual...)

- prominent and secondary elements - how parts contribute to the whole

- center and background

3) Dynamic elements: orientation of figure, gaze and point of tension; 

- figure looking of us (demanding) or away, offering her/himself to our gaze?

- features and postures of characters

4) Emerging elements: directionality and focal point. 

- what is the first thing we notice

- where is the eye drawn to and what directions does it folllow

You will find the analyzed instances of the link above in the following pages of Citizen 13660
