Goya #77 - First One, Then Another by Ellen



"First One, Then Another" symbolized people following each other. Many are independent, but many follow the leader too, especially today (though it has always occurred.) What is good for the goose it not necessarily good for the gander, though many would like you to think so...

Digital Collage based on Goya's Caprichos

Goya's #12 Tooth-hunting

This is my Photoshop collage based on Goya's Caprichos number 21 entitled How They Pluck Her. I wanted to keep the composition of the original and I also liked the black and white scheme. I decided to introduce red, however, to make the victim figure more pronounced and emotive. I am happy with the way the my collage turned out.

Lonely man- Alex Hanley


I choose this image because i liked the emotion this man shows.  He is sitting in a room alone with a ball and chain tied to his foot with individual lights pointing down at him.  His face shows such anger, but i really just think he's lonely. Everybody needs friends.


i tried to capture just the basic parts on the piece. the ball and chain, and his loneliness.  I really wanted to put the white and black contrast in with him.
By putting the red in for the white i think it shows more of the anger in him.  I liked the black and white one better but this just shows a different emotion.



Darlington " The Cabnet of Dr Caligari



My image I choose came right out of the wonderful work n of “The Cabnet’s Of Dr. Caligari”. I choose this film because the black and white prospective gives a remarkable and true classical sense of the light and dark scenes dramatic peek. The image I pick is a scene of an empty room. I choose this particular picture because I found the shapes visually entreating because of their geometrical form. Also, how each one than are placed in different part of the room, giving a sense of construction.  As for the project I basically recreated the shapes in the picture by using basic rectangle, circle, octagons and lines to create the chair, the frame of the window. For the colors, I pick warm, light and dark colors to give the picture a little realistic effect and an outdoor and indoor feeling when you look through the window. I intentionally make the color outside the window to correspond with the once inside the room, to gives the version a sense of movement and balance.

Original picture of Sailor

Creepy Scene in Tilted Room




I chose The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari because of its eery-esque characters and scenes. I found the shapes in the film particularly visual appealing because of how geometric they are. So, for my bauhaus project I exaggerated the geometric shapes using basic squares, triangles, circles and trapezoids. I used simple lines on the window to give the room a more crooked effect and lines on the floor to give the composition depth.
