Critique #2
The artist of my painting is R. Vernon. This is a painting of Jesus and two inmates. The title of the painting is “Jesus and inmates.” The medium of this photo is some type of paint using both cool and warm colors. The subject matter is respect. The painting is of Jesus reaching out his arms to two inmates and bringing them into the heart which is filled with the sun and bright colors.
The allusion that this painting shows is that inside the heart represents happier times and a new life. The bird in the air and Jesus’ arms reaching out creates a sense of movement. The juxtaposition of the heart separates the good and the bad times of the two people. The light and the fading of the picture gives it a sense of space. The artist put darker colors on the bottom of the picture because those were the bad times and dark colors represent bad times. However, he put warm colors in the background and in the heart because those represent the good times. The bad times and good times give the picture a good contrast. The focal point of the picture is Jesus helping the two inmates into better times and a new life. The two people and the images of all the bad things are the foreground of the painting and have the most detail. The detail in the painting gives it a sense of texture.
The focal point of this picture is Jesus having respect for the two people and helping them into better times. If you look at this painting you can see a narrative that is told. Even though these people are inmates and have done bad things in their life, Jesus still has respect for them. He is trying to help them into better times and helping them into a new life to start over. This teaches people to try and have respect for everyone. Even though people might not always be good, to have respect for them is the right thing to do. I think the images of all the bad things and Jesus reaching out to help them enhances the composition and makes it more effective.

Critique #1
This is an image of a photograph that someone took. The title of it is, a Christian man respecting a Christian woman. It is a picture of a man opening the door for the lady to get into the car. This shows the idea of how the man has respect for the woman which ties into my theme of respect.
This photograph has many components to it. The telephone wires in the background create lines. The background with trees and house give the photo more detail. The forms of the people make them look realistic. The two people getting into the car is the foreground and they have the most detail. The proportion of the people and the car is correct. The focal points of the picture are the two people and the car. The chiaroscuro of the black and white makes the darker objects stand out more. The branches of the trees give texture to the picture. The shade of the car makes it stand out more because it is darker. The door that’s halfway open and the woman getting inside gives the photo movement. There is a wide range of value in the picture, going from white all the way to black. The trees and part of a house give the picture a sense of space.
The focal point of this picture is to show how the man has respect for the lady. Within this picture there is a subtle narrative. The story that this picture explains is, first off the man is picking his wife up from work, like usual. To show his respect for her, he opens the door for her to get in. She loves this sense of respect and smiles at him to show her appreciation. He smiles back and they get in the car to go home. This is the short narrative that this picture explains.

Declaration
The concept that I have chose is respect. Respect is a very important aspect in life. I feel that everyone should have respect for everyone else, unless they give them a reason not to. My friends and family all have respect for me, as I do for them. However, I have also lost respect for some people, and I am sure people have lost respect for me as well. I try my best to have respect for everyone. I especially have respect for people who are older than me because I think they deserve it. I respect my parents the most because they’ve given me everything and have taught me a lot.
The reason why I chose this topic is because as time goes on, I’ve noticed, that people are starting to respect people less and less. People in the world are not respecting humans the way they should be. Through time people are not taking into consideration who people are and how they should be treated. They aren’t realizing that disrespecting people is wrong. Also, if you don’t respect other people then you aren’t going to get respect back.
One artist that I found that has done paintings about respect is Paolo Veronese. Aretha Franklin wrote the song respect, which is a popular song. A lot of other songs and poems are also about respect.
