Buttercup

Objective 3: Elements and Principles of Design

The principles of design demonstrated (describe the use): This photo shows emphasis because the yellow buttercup is very obvious on the green background. This makes it very clear what the main subject of the picture is and the viewers eyes are immediately drawn to the flower and its intricate petals. This picture also demonstrates contrast between the two colours because they are so very unlike each other.

The elements of design demonstrated (describe the use): Line is present in this photo because the stem is visible. The stem curves away from the flower down to the bottom of the photograph. This is a somewhat leading line because it goes from the edge of the photograph to the flower. Also, colour is in this picture. The flower stands out from the green background with its yellow petals. Form is another element visible in the picture. The flower is round and all the seperate petals on the flower are also circles. The last element in this picture is texture. All the many petals together give a very textured feel to the flower and makes the flower and the picture more interesting.

 

Objective 4: Lighting

Type of lighting and why: The type of lighting is soft, diffused lighting coming from the left-hand side. Side lighting is also involved, hence the last sentence.
