Gottfried Helnwein cont.


After seeing the whole image, I can clearly see that the man is normal sized and the face is a giant piece of art.

Helnwein's art is of a girl's face. She is very pale and has large, sad eyes. The piece of art is large and takes up the whole side of a building. The girl looks like she is staring right into the eyes of the viewer. Since she is so large, her gaze is very powerful and has an effect on the viewer.

The image looks like it is all one, not spliced together, but it is hard to tell. The image is in an urban area right along the side of a road, so many people will see it. The expression on the girl's face is sad, yet her eye's also show a hint of fear. She also looks sick.

I think the title, "The Last Girl" suggests something about young children, or young girls, being sick or abused and not getting taken care of. It is sending a message that something needs to be done.

Lost in the World

1) The general premise of the video is that in today's world, people have become absorbed in technology and the media. People have become materialistic and no longer care about other people or the world around them. 2) I think the video is effective in conveying it's intended message. It tries to show how people have changed through the use of technology, no longer caring about others. The video shows all of the people that are hurt or affected by this. 3) I think that this is more an examination of our current social situation than a cautionary story. I think this because all of the events shown in this video already happen today. It could be cautionary, but more of a wake up call to people who behave like this attempting to get them to recognize that their actions are destructive.

Describing Pictures

Image
This photo is an image of giant scissors cutting through a house and a landscape. The scissors cut the house and the landscape down the middle, leaving the person inside the house looking confused. In the foreground is the beginning of the cut and some trees. In the midground is the house. In the background are the scissors as wells as some dark rain clouds. The photo has a dark look because of the rain. The viewer's attention is focused first on the house and then follows the line of the cut to the scissors. This photo is a picture of a woman doing her laundry. She hung her clothes on the telephone wire so she must climb on a tall ladder to reach them. She is in the middle of nowhere except for what is maybe a house or a barn behind her. In the foreground, there is the woman and her pile of laundry. In the midground, there is the house or barn. In the foreground, midground and background are the telephone poles, extending back as far as the viewer can see in the picture. Th...
