Design Basics Used to Create Balance

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review Chapter 4 in your course text, The Photographer’s Eye.
• Review Diane Arbus’s photograph, Child with Toy Hand Grenade, 1962.
• Review the websites from this week’s Learning Resources for more inspiration and examples of photographs.
• Consider the following questions regarding the Arbus photograph:
  • How does the use of a square frame impact the balance of the photograph?
  • What elements contribute to the balance of the photograph presented here? Would you say this is a balanced photograph? Explain your response.
  • Does this composition draw your eyes more to the center of the frame or more to the edges? Give evidence for your response.
  • How does the photograph demonstrate contrast, tension, rhythm, and/or depth?
  • How does the subject of the photograph relate to the background?
  • How is perspective created in the photograph?
  • Is the photograph more weighted toward information or emotion? Explain your response.
• While considering the questions above, compare the assigned photograph with Arbus’s 1967 photograph, Identical Twins, Roselle, N.J., 1967. Explain how these photographs differ and how they are similar.

Post a response that addresses three of the questions above. Analyze how Arbus uses placement to create or disrupt a sense of balance in her composition. (Approximately 250 words).

In your post, be sure to:

• Refer to one specific example from your course reading.
