Part 2

Using a camera or cellphone, take 3 photographs from your immediate environment that exemplify each of the following styles of art. Be creative!:

  • Realism
  • Impressionism

You can manipulate your photographs with any software effects to achieve the appropriate results. For example, you can take a photo of a friend or family member, and using software, blur the image to represent impressionism.

Include your 3 original photographs in your paper. (Save the photos to your desktop. If you use your phone camera, you can e-mail them to yourself. Open the image and right-click and copy. Open a Word document and right-click and paste.)

Answer the following questions in paragraph style:

  • Number each photo and identify the style it closely resembles. Explain the characteristics of each style that you tried to emulate.
  • What style of art would best be used to communicate a direct message? Explain
  • What style of art would evoke an emotional response? Explain.
  • Identify 3 examples of Realism in art or design that you see on a daily basis.
  • Describe a situation in which the style of Impressionism might best be used in art and/or design today?

In-text citations and a list of references are required when including or paraphrasing any idea, fact, date, or other information from the textbook or other references.
