We all know that the purpose of advertising, in a general sense, is to sell thin

We all know that the purpose of advertising, in a general sense, is to sell things to a target audience, and the form or “look” of the design is directed toward this main purpose. However, if we examine advertisements individually, we can decipher more specific messages such as, “This is the softest toilet paper” or “This drug will help you sleep.” In order to convey those messages, designers make specific, formal choices like what types of lines, shapes, or colors to use or whether the composition should be symmetrical or asymmetrical.
For this discussion, look through a magazine and choose an advertisement to write about. What is the specific message or messages the ad is trying to communicate? How did the designer’s formal choices help or hinder getting the message across? Refer to Chapters 4 and 5 to help identify the visual elements and principles of design used in the ad you selected

Image for analysis
During our first class, we talked about the formal elements of art: line, shape, color, contrast, and texture. We focused on the color wheel – primary and complementary colors – and the projected effects on images.
In our first discussion question, please compare the two images above and post a response.
As you analyze the image, think about Primary Colors, Complementary Colors, and Warm Colors vs. Cool Colors. Please also discuss the following;
What was your first reaction to each work of art?
Does your opinion about the artwork change the longer you look at it? Why?
Describe the colors in the artwork
Which area of the image does the artist emphasize? What do you think is the focal point of each?
Although the images are of various styles and prepared in different mediums, which one do you relate to more?

For context, include the reasoning behind your choice of the attached image by Sally Mann, At Warm Springs, and your initial ideas for analysis.” The tone for your commentary at this stage does not have to be “academic. Free association, posing questions, and “going out on a limb” in terms of interpretation are encouraged.

The points I picked only should need 4 listed below
~Connotation vs. Denotation
~ Semiotics/Structuralism
~Barthes’s Concepts of Punctum and Studium and/or the Ontological Consequences of Photography’s Analogous Relationship with “Reality”

In art, and painting especially, color is such an important element. The history

In art, and painting especially, color is such an important element. The history of art, from the Impressionists to the Abstract Expressionists, used color to depict light, space, and even emotions. For this discussion, you are required to explore color in an in-depth way, beyond just answering the common question, “What is your favorite color?”
Explore and choose a color from your environment, perhaps the color on a wall that you have painted or on a piece of clothing you wear. Maybe it’s a color out in the world somewhere, like on a billboard you see on your way to work or school. What does this color mean to you? What effects does it create? How does it make you feel? Does it evoke a memory? Does the color symbolize anything? How would you classify this color in terms of hue, value, and saturation (look these up if you are not sure what they mean)? Try to be as specific and detailed as you can with your descriiptions. Finally, give this color a name in the same way as paint manufacturers will name colors we see in stores.

In his essay, Art, Education, Photography, David Bate poses the rhetorical question, “How does art as an institution and set of discourses constantly renew and re-invent itself?” He provides as one example 1950s pop art and its strategy of reversing the “value of things.” Provide at least one example of a photographer (from any time period) who employed a similar strategy of “value reversal” and articulate and defend your choice. Cite specific image(s), please include them in the Word file.
