The gallery also helps viewers learn about the artists' work and their subsequent work. The gallery looks forward to inspiring a new dialogue between artists and viewers.

By means of fast moving objects in low shutter speed, and recording the vision between cause delay of the instant complex feelings and emotions that can 't be easily put into words can be aroused through the color of the film and the cutting of the square.
Background information on photographer(s)’ work presented (from press release or your own research, list sources)
Mikiko Hara is a photographer from Japan, her photography style is obvious, square cut and quiet style. Instead of using a viewfinder, she creates a different impression by using a lower shutter speed on fast-moving objects(1)

The photographs as a group
These photos all have similar colors, styles and objects to depict the surrounding environment and evoke fragments of memory in the audience

Subject
Hara says, “There is no set theme; I'm not trying to communicate a particular message. Instead I gamble on serendipity. I hope that each snapshot will stir some fragment of memory within every viewer, arousing complex feelings and emotions that can't be easily put into words.”(2)

Style
Hala works by not using the viewfinder and by using a lower shutter speed on fast-moving objects to create instant delays.
Internal and external context For each artist/photographer:
Hara's records of people and landscapes depict People's Daily activities

Her pictures gave me a vague idea of her city and the people who lived there

Describe all of the above points in further detail
There is a picture of a man with a naked upper body in the car through the gap between the steering wheel
What stood out to you about this photograph/what made you choose it?
It reminds me of what we discussed in class, how to compose before breaking it

How do you think it fits in with the other photographs/works in the show?
Hara doesn't use a viewfinder, so the expression of feelings is greater than the expected composition her photos have an impulsive, piecemeal motion

Compare and contrast this image to works by other artists and/or comment on any other connections you had to this image personally
For me, this photo is more like a memory in my daily life

Assignment 3(2)


F/3.5    125   ISO1600


F/11  90  ISO12800

Assignment 3(1)


What is the author’s thesis?
The purpose of describing photographs is to notice and understand photography and to tell others what you have noticed. Description is a means of gathering information. We usually make a judgment first and then modify it according to what we have seen.

What examples does he use to support the thesis?
The example of Photography view of Devastation and death. Sontag USES photographs to describe the food of war and when we look at the photographs, we get an idea of the horrors of war.

In your own words, how does Barrett define interpretation?
When you describe your work, fully describe the medium used by the photographer and discuss the impact of their use on their expression and the whole

According to Barrett, why is interpretation important in criticism of photographs? 
In the article, criticism is not a negative judgment, but an informed discussion about art to enhance the understanding and appreciation of art. Criticism is a way to understand art, to think seriously about photographs

In Chapter 3 Barrett gives examples of various interpretations from different “interpretive perspectives” and “interpretive strategies” - choose one that stood out, surprised you, or interested you in some way and discuss why.
Critics interpret photographs from a wide range of perspectives, based on comparison, psychology, format, and style. When we comment on art, each of us can only express his own opinion. There are no good or bad ideas, just different points of departure. I really agree with that and I think that after the discussion of these works, we're going to give the greatest credit to the photograph, which is to say that the photograph is the most meaningful work.

In your own words, what is/are the main point(s) the author is trying to make in the section “‘Right’ Interpretations”?
I think everyone's interpretation of the picture should be consistent and consistent. First of all, correspondence means that a photograph should have an association. If the interpretation has no association with the photograph, it lacks correspondence
The second is consistency, Interpretations, there should be no inconsistency it should explain and supporting arguments

In your own words, what is/are the main point(s) the author is trying to make in the section “Interpretations and the Artist’s Intent”?
When the photographer provides an explanation of the photograph, it should fully explain what is presented in the picture and meet the standards of coherence and correspondence

Write about two other key points that you learned from this week’s reading.
First, I learned that all direct and realistic photographs require explanation. They are not innocent, they are not suggestive, they are not biased, they are not simple mirror images. Created, photographed and constructed by skilled artists, they are worth reading, interpreting, analyzing and deconstructing.
Secondly, I know more about Interpretation. I can interpret works from many other aspects that I have not thought about

Summarize - what is the author’s conclusion?
As the critic brings his own experience and worldview to the interpretation, Barrett sets a definition for the critique that it must be reasonable and take advantage of all available information.
