Formal Elements & Principles: Identity

Image One

American Gothic by Grant Wood. Located at the Art Institute of Chigago.

I chose this because of the themes Heritage of the house and Emotion in the face. This relates the image to identity.

The photo marked up using Photoshop to single out the formal aspects (elements & principles of art/design).

Image two

Drowning Girl (1963) Roy Lichenstein. Located at the MOMA

I chose this because Lichenstein created this to show the emotion of the girl. leading this to the topic of identity. that she is drowning in sadness.

Image Three

Banksy

Banksy brands themself in their work they produce by keeping them all similar in style of graffiti. this particular piece has to di with emotion. I found it funny that the image is speaking about someone not recieving like coments or chats on social media. something most people look at as their identity.

This Painting is giving Audrey a personhood feeling being the only woman in the photo. Many celebrities take photos like these. it used to be a way to give off an “i dont care” vibe.

    What if this was only a sound recording? How would it make people feel?

    Content:
    What if there was a boy instead of a girl in this image? Would it be less effective?
