I took the picture of my avatar over the summer . I enjoy exploring and discovering new places. It was in an exhibit called “superreal” it was located near battery park in the city. It’s a picture of a pathway filled with clear plastic poles hanging down from the ceiling with purple/pink lights reflecting on the poles and I found it fascinating and fun . I chose it as my avatar Because it’s full of color and it was very vibrant . And I’d describe myself as a very fun and outgoing person . Also my favorite color is purple and it just amazed me . Although the picture at first is very confusing it’s because I tilted it so it’s sideways and I find it cool because it kind of looked like water in a way and it’s just beautiful and I love sight seeing . It’s very peaceful for me and I personally like meditating and just thinking .
The picture itself is just amazing but what is used to build up the image is a whole lot of line and color . There are parallel line and intersecting ones as well . Having a black background helps the image itself stand out as well . It would’ve been different if it was a white background the whole image and it’s purpose would’ve been lost. This image inspires me in a way to stay positive and happy . Seeing like line strokes run down horizontally reminds me of “keep on going” and stay balanced .Which is a big motivator and can be useful in any situation .
I like looking at this photo, too, and love that you took the picture yourself. There is so much information in this paragraph, and more that you need to add (the detailed description of the image) that I wonder if making an outline or list of all the things you want to include would help you see everything you need to include and then organize your ideas (perhaps into two paragraphs).
In the description of your avatar, be sure to include the colors, patterns, shapes, light, etc, like we discussed in class. You can then explain what it is and how it represents your interests, goals, aethetic vision, etc.
