Analyze That!

I chose this image from Adele Murphy’s blog, who got it from Mary Le’s blog! This image is really cool. My band performed at an “art walk” they have downtown where a bunch of “sidewalk artists” (I guess you’d call them that) came out and chose their space and produced pieces of art like this! It’s crazy to me how this artist created depth in this image. It looks as though you can actually step into that little pool and get wet! The motion the artist created in the image is also very impressing. There is motion you can see in the water, and also in the women. The women is lifting her left leg up, which is movement, and it also looks like she’s trying to keep herself from sinking any deeper than she already is. I can tell this partly from where her left hand is and what it is doing. Texture is also created in the water of the image; you can tell that it is water. Texture was also created in the tile; you can see a good example of it right in the center / bottom of the image. Where the artist has the tile slightly cracked. I notice that the artist uses light and shadows very well also. You can see deeper and darker shadows towards the edges of the water, where the water isn’t getting as much light at it is in the middle of the pool. Also shadows are created and present on the women’s leg, and on the beach ball floating in the water. It seems as though this artist might be sponsored by “coke”, or maybe is making an advertisement for “coke”. I say this because there is a Coke at the bottom left of the image, in the women’s hand, and in the artists (assuming that’s the artist) hand; kind of interesting. I wonder what that is all about.
