The first image shown in class is in the shape of a seagull. However, the inside of the seagull is painted to look like it has been pieced together by different materials. While looking at this image I am instantly reminded of the beach. With the different colored and different textured pieces filling the inside of the seagull are very bright and vibrant. I believe the painter of this image is trying to portray a happy and sunny day at the beach. Their use of color and texture is easy on the viewer's eyes giving off the feeling of calmness. The bird's posture gives us the idea that the bird is not agitated witch also gives us the idea of peace.
The second image shown in class is a magazine cover with no text other than the date. There is what seems to be a human jumping and preforming the splits in mid-air. The person appears to be wearing a tuxedo. I, as a viewer, feel a sense of happiness from the human jumping at the top of the page. The person is jumping and raising one hand in the air to possibly show his happiness. The creator of this image has kept it very simple.
The third image there is a vulture watching a small boy who is suffering from starvation. The boy is obviously starting due to his easily visible bone structure. He is hunched over almost in the fetal position. The vulture is waiting for the young boy to die so that it can eat what is left of the child. The image has a strong tale of how the strong pick on the weak. It also shows a level of selfishness because the vulture is only focused on what he needs to eat. This is translated into the human world every day. There are those who are powerful who are not helping those who are in desperate need of it.
