lines, shape

It worked because in the two pictures both use a line in the middle of the picture and split a picture into half, and the two pictures looks the same.

Texture shape

It worked because the square in the picture is in the same place as the example.

Pattern, texture

It worded because the texture in the picture and the example are the same and the pattern are the same.

lines, pattern, tone

It worked because it looks the same. And the pattern of the two picture are the same.

shape, lines

Picture 5 didn’t worked very well because in picture 5 the right side place was not the biggest place for the picture and at the middle of the picture there is a pillar so it is not what is in the example.

tone, shape, focus

Picture 6 didn’t work because there are other shape next to the main shape and the focus of this picture was not on the main shape. The tone of this shape is also not good the light on the main shape is darker than the other shapes next to the main shape.There’s also a line below the shape in the picture that I take. So this picture didn’t worked.

shape lines

Doesn’t worked so well, the texture of the picture is not the same as the example, the pillar is have white half silver.

pattern, texture shape

It worked the size of the shape are complete same as the example, They match with each other with element.

lines, shape, pattern

I think this picture didn’t word because in the picture there’s no change in the color, but in the picture that I take there’s other color.

lines, shape.

I think picture 10 didn’t work because the line in the middle is not from thick to thin but in my picture the line is only straight don’t have the change of thick and thin. Also the example picture the line is from left bottom corner to right up but my is not.

lines shapes tone

Picture 11 didn’t worded because the front part of the picture doesn’t have light we can’t see the front. And the angle of the picture is not right.

pattern, texture

This picture worked because it matches the pattern, the texture in the picture is close to the picture.

The 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 worked because the place where i found the picture was nice and I look for a long time to find. The elements that in the picture are close to the picture.

I think formal element is use the 6 elements(lines, shape, pattern, texture, tone, focus.) to make simple purpose into great shots.

Lines: there are lots kinds of lines in photograph, some are straight and some are curvy. Lines can also separate the picture into two different parts that tells the same thing.  They can also create direction and show movement in the photograph.

Shapes: they can make contrast between the subject and the environment. There are also straight edged and curvy shapes in a photo.

Pattern: by repeat the same shape, objects, and lines in a photo we can form patterns echos and reflections in a picture.

Texture: how the picture feels and how you think inside the picture would feel if you were in the picture.

Tone: is the level of how bright or how dark something is, the darkest tone is solid black, the lightest tone is pure white.

Focus: is the area appears the clearest and the sharpest in the picture.

I think the definition of abstract photography is a catching picture with non-traditional thinking of shapes, patterns, colors, and textures instead of traditional picture taking.

Abstract photography can be defined as capturing images in which the subject isn’t the most interesting element. Albert Renger-Patzsch and Aaron Siskind photographed the ordinary to reveal their beauty. Uta Barth reversed the typical use of the camera, shooting out of focus and Andreas Gursky photographs the repetition of elements. During this unit, you will investigate appropriate examples of abstract photography and respond in your own way.

I think abstract photography focuses on catching images that have strange shapes, colors, patterns, and textures rather than clear subjects or simple scenes. The purpose is to let people remember their emotions or ideas through visual elements rather than through traditional pictures of reality.
