Assignment 3 Part 1

Critique: Part One
Composition: I wanted to frame the tree and get the whole house in the background. I also wanted to show the true lighting on the left of the house as well as the light shinning through the tree.

Concept: I wanted to show an image that reminded me of my childhood. We used to wait for the leaves to fall at my grandma's house so we can play in the piles that my mom and her would make while raking. I would also hide under the beds in her old white house because I would be angry at everyone for giving my sisters all they attention.

Method: I used the first idea that came to me because I figured that was a memory that had a lot of meaning. I did brain storm a bit because I needed to find a place that had some leaves falling off the tree. I think this image will look a lot nicer in a few weeks, once the colors of the leaves have changed dramatically. 

Motivations: My goal was to have the focus on the tree and have the house sharp.

Context: My idea represented in the photo shows an old house with a tree that has been there for many generations. I find the picture interesting because there is not one thing in the photo that will confirm the year it was taken.

Critique: Part Two
Interpretation: The class thought it looked like a passed image of an older house. They could imagine three little kids standing under the tree. It also made them feel small because the tree is so large.
Evaluation: The class thought it had really nice lighting through the trees. The thought the tree allowed them to see the growth over the years. They also thought it looked as though the tree was apart of the house, helping it stand.

Extension: I think it would be interesting to do a series of memories. It is always fun to look back and think of the amazing time I have had with my friends and family.
