My eyes automatically go the Polly's bright pink shirt. The colors in this photo are very brilliant and loud except for Brooke who is wearing a plain-jane gray shirt. I notice the color in this photograph before I notice what they are doing. Polly is teaching us how to cook dumplings.
There are 3 girls in this picture. Two girls are Asian and one is white. The girl to the right is wearing a pink shirt, the girl in the middle is wearing a blue shirt, and the girl on the left is wearing a gray shirt. There is a table in front of them with news paper on it and a large silver bowl reflecting light. They are making some sort of food, in this case, dumplings.
There is not much line quality but I suppose the table leads the eye to the three girls. The color is crazy bright and the reflection of the bowl is neat but doesn't take away form the picture. The girls don't seem like they are floating in space so the placement in space is good.
Yes it tells a story. It's the story of dorm life and how little room we have to cook in. The small space behind the girls is a small kitchen but it's very hard to see. It shows how many people you meet in college and how diverse our campus is.
Elizabeth's work is very colorful. It is very abstract and this photograph is not. There are more colors in her work as well. Her work is free and fun. My photo is not as crazy as her work, but it is very interesting to look at.
