Photo title: Alice's Mirror

1. When I look at this picture I see a whole bunch of mirrors, a chair, reading glasses, an arm, and two hands. I also see that all the pictures, except the last one, are all reflections. In picture four I see a good example of line. If you look in the mirror you see a table going across the whole thing, which leads your eyes to the outside of the picture.

2. You get the sense of balance in the first picture because you see the glasses on their side and normally glasses don’t stay up like that you would have either hold them or balance them. There isn’t really a pattern, but if you think about it there is a little bit of a pattern. In each picture, you find out that you were looking at something in mirror, but you didn’t realize it because the picture was so close.

3. I think the artist thought of an idea like this and then decided they wanted to capture items in it that meant something to them. The mood of these photos to me is sadness or depression. It gives me this feeling because they’re in black and white and you don’t see the face of the person in it you see their hand, arm, legs, and a little part of his chin and that’s it. It kind of is, also, giving off a feeling of someone hiding something for the same reason as it being depressing.

4. I think this artwork was very successful. It makes you really think twice and have to look at it in different way to understand it. I think the artist was trying to get across to us that if you look at something one way you should always try and look for another perspective of it because there’s more than one way to think of something for everything.
