Analysis Writing of Jacqueline's Digital Pictionary Images

For our Digital Pictionary project every member of the class was assigned a different word at random. We were each instructed to use our word to create three separate collaged images that displayed our interpretation of the word's meaning. 

Jacqueline's Digital Pictionary images are each very eye-catching due to their use of vibrant colors, patterns, and a variety of textures. Each image also includes an element of nature and earth such as the ocean, the sun, or the sky. One image even has a series of pictures of butterflies, drawing the viewers attention to the intricate and repeated patterns of their delicate wings. While another gives a close-up view of what looks to be a shell or sea urchin, displaying the repeated textures and bumps. 

The first two images have a central focus point to which the whole image is drawn to. The audience's eye is involuntarily forced to the center of the picture by the illusion of depth created by the repetition of line pointed inward. The first image depicts a sun setting over the horizon line of an ocean. The rays of the sun bend and curl into elaborate spirals at the edges of the image. The second image gives off the feeling of a piercing blue eye starring intently back at the viewer. The pupil like form is located again at the center with the blue/green iris swirling around it. This image also creates the illusion of movement as the blue forms seem to be growing out of the middle. The movement of these forms also reminds of the very hot center of a flame on a stove top when the burner is turned on, the intense heat radiating out to the edges of the frame.

The last two images of the Earth-like figure and butterflies again have a strong element of line and pattern. Again the same theme of a central focal point is expressed by the body of each butterfly being the center from which its wings expand outward from. The center of the sea urchin and other aquatic creatures again create a focal point for the viewer. Color is also a very evident aspect of the butterfly image. The vibrant blues, greens, and oranges of the wings contrast nicely against their black middle and the white background. The last two images also have a very strong feeling of being science-minded. The butterfly image seems to resemble a person's butterfly collection where the butterflies are pinned to the background. The image of the Earth-like figure also has an image of some type of atomic compound and again has the feeling of a scientific study of nature. 

In conclusion, I am not sure of the exact word from which these images originated from but I feel that each is related through a strong sense of pattern, line, and texture; specifically those found in nature and science
