Artist Statements: - First set: In this still life, I made a smiley face with fruit around the house. I struggled coming up with ideas for this assignment and I though this would be a good photo. - Second set: This is a chess board set up in a specific way. I thought it was interesting to go against the original set up, and caused for a good still life. - Third set: These scissors make a square in unity, and I thought that caused for an interesting still life. A struggle I had with these was dimming the reflection of the sun. - Fourth set: I organized these pretzel's into two different ways. I struggled with finding whole pretzels in the bag to create these still lifes. - Fifth set: I organized these waterbottles to create a still life.
