"Looking at Photographs" by Stan Chism |
| "When we look at a photograph carefully, we analyze the image with the intention of gaining the 'deep information.' Moreover, when we judge a photograph, we put into words the ideas that are stimulated by an image. This program will take images as offered and analyze them in terms of the emotional and cognitive processes that are evoked. I will illustrate how babies look at art and how adults process contrast, line, form, shape, color, tone, and the mood of several images. The best judging of photographs and other art objects occurs when the viewer strives to gather the 'deep information' and the emotional pleasure evoked by the image. The best language to use in discussing a photograph is the shared experience of viewing it." Stan Chism Member, PACC |
