Monday 31st October - Halloween

some of us decided to dress up for halloween because why not, it was awesome.

Crystal dressed up to but she wasn't walking around the school with us at this point.

We went through the re-enrollment process for next year and looking at what courses we can take and then we looked at some photos that was being printed by ralph. 

We then had formatives for the rest of the day. my formatives were pretty good. I need to amp up my researching and Marie said I should look into symbolism since that is basically what my project is based on at the moment. 


Looking through the internet at symbolism through photography is that many of the photographs are converted to greyscale or a using a small colour palette only using minimal colours or reduced colouring.



I love both of these photos because of how both of them are very simple and doesn't use much to show what they need to. All though both of these two seem to show a pretty dark meaning. 
I love how perfectly aligned it is with the river behind the frame and how it is in greyscale on the outside, with the color inside. 

Looking at the numerous images of symbolism I realise how much i relate to this subject and that i really like it, I want to experiment more with this subject, i see so much more that i could have done than with just the eyes but it's too late to change, I will practice with this more during the holidays when i have more time for myself to practice with this. for the time being, i will have to try and bring my A game to the  final hand in.

Symbolism art can also be called conceptual or minimal art as well. because with symbolism photography you are trying to get your concept out to the viewer through what you use through the images. symbolism photography makes healthy use of graphic symbols to represent ideas, movements, moods, anything that the artist wants to portray in the message of the viewer.
