Olfactory

adjective

of or relating to the sense of smell (Merriam-Webster-Dictionary)

The word was encountered in “The Inclusive Museum” By Sina Bahram

The sentence that it was encountered in was “He found exhibits with audio, olfactory, or tactile components”

The author utilizes this word to say that the museum not only had audio, but smell and things that you could touch/feel. This is important to the paragraph in the article because its essentially saying the guide limited the experience of being in a museum because from a earlier lesson with the ways of seeing video, when looking at paintings or objects your interpretation of them can be shaped through the audio that is played along with it. Because this impacted the author so much she decided that museums aren’t doing enough for disabled people, simply acknowledging the disability is not enough.

Project#3: Phase 2

Broad range

This is my broad image collage. This is image represents a broad range value because there is almost a neutral light to dark distribution in this image. The focus point in this image is my nose. The way the images is alligned kind of helps lead the viewer to the focus point.As you can there is a strong stable figure/ground relationship.

Narrow Low-Key Value range

This is my Narrow value range. This represents my Narrow low-key value range because there is mostly darkness in this image compared to the light, it also transition from dark to the little bit of light you see near the end of the right side of the image. The focul point in this image is the eyes. I put them in the central of my face and kind of stacked them to draw attention to themselves and kind if help lead the viewers eyes towards the focul point. This image has an unstable Ambiguous figure/ground relationship. There’s a lot going on with the collage in this image that makes it difficult for you to determine what is the figure and what is the ground.

Broad range

Hours worked: 1 hour

The first image represents a high-key/light value range. This is because there is mostly light in this image and less darkness or shadows in the image. This image also kind of  graduates from dark to light  creating the feeling of success or hope.The second image represents low-key/light value range. This is because there is little to no light in the image, instead there is  mostly darkness and shadows. This image kind of expressea despair, mystery,and creepiness. Lastly, the final image represents broad a broad range image. This is because there a similar amount or equal amount of light and darkness in the image, there’s a neutral clash between light and dark. This image expresses balance.

Encountered from Wind Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

“Our notions of separation, absence, distance, return, are reflections of a new set of realities, though the words themselves remain unchanged.”

I understand this word now because their belief of separation, absence, etc are reflections of realities.
