Color Assignment
Navy blue is my favorite color because it reminds me of the ocean. I live really close to the ocean and see it everyday. This is also my favorite color because all my favorite sports teams wear this color. This is also the color that reminds me of good weather and relaxation. The sky is blue when the weather is good and it is a vibrant meaningful color.

Comments
1. I think a few of the photos are pretty interesting and i wonder how long a few of the pieces took to create.
2. The kids are reoccurring in many photos i wonder if he knows these children or they are random strangers.
3. Since a lot of it is black and white i feel like he does that for a reason and theres meaning behind all the things he does .
4. I notice his work is featured in several different exhibits which means he must always be working hard.
5. There were a few portraits with no people in them.
Follow Up
I thought that the Skype meeting with Mr. Roda was very interesting. I never had done something like that before. Before meeting him through Skype i was curious to why he created the things he did. After listening to him explain his works and a little bit of his background i started to understand his pieces a little bit better. I thought that it wasn't boring and he made it interesting. I think its cool that he includes his family in his work. Since he has a lot of work on display it seems he is a hard worker and always is coming up with different ideas. He told us that his favorite work is the next one because every other work is the past and he's always excited for his next one and what he will make of it. I think the Skype call made me understand the artist and his work. I would look forward to any future Skype calls with other artists.

I thought talking to Mr. Hackett was a good experience just like the previous Skype call. It really helps you to understand an artist better when you talk to them first hand and see how they come up with their ideas. Mr. Hackett really seems like he knows what he wants to be as an artist and won't let people who don't appreciate his work affect him. While on Skype we got to see his studio where he makes all his pieces. You can see he is a hard worker by the amount of material and artwork scattered everywhere. He seems like he has plenty of good ideas that pertain to what he values in his artwork. The way all his pieces are put together from all different things and made into one thing with meaning is the cool part about it. Even though you don't fully understand every piece talking to him allowed me to further observe his pieces in a different way and understand them better.

Pre-zombie apocalypse (Diana, Ryan)
On the picture we can see a little bit of everything (food, cleaning supplies, cat food and litter, medicine), that’s why we assumed it might be a storage room. However, after looking on the picture for some time we realized that there are price tags on the shelves, and this is probably some kind of a store or gas station. Although, after zooming the picture in, it becomes more visible that it is a store, because you can see two people walking between shelves. At first we thought that it’s one shelve and everything there was packed tight. There are many different colors on the picture, and picture seems kind of blurry at first, but when you focus, you are able to see what’s on the picture. You can see a variety of different products, such as different kinds of drinks or cereal. Emotional impact from the picture might be challenging to tell, because we see groceries every day and our feelings about them are hard to understand. It depends how hungry a person is. The picture was taken probably after lunch or maybe before, because there are not many people on the picture and the shelves are mostly full of products. If the photo was taken before lunch then a lot of people would come soon to get something to eat, but if this photo was taken right after the lunch, then the store would probably be quiet for some time. This photo might convey people’s needs, and something that most people need pretty much same things.

Elements of art
Harmony
This is a water reflection of a building and trees, and the harmony is in calm water of a lake. The image of a house and trees is very clear and you can see almost every leaf on branches in the reflection
Emphasis: As you can see the point of focus in the image is the tree, because it is in the middle and in front of the image. The pattern of the building in the background stands out as well. The shadows from the tree reflect off from the building.
Movement
As you can see it's a photo of a small fountain near the swimming pool. I like the small splash of water which you can see in the middle of a photo, it's very dynamic and charming at the same time. This photo has a good contrast of movement and stability which you can see in walls of fountain and water
Proportion
Here you can see a change of proportion between the flagpole and my (Janelle's) arm. Both of these elements take up a good portion of the photo and plays with the idea that the flagpole is smaller than it really is.
Rhythm
The rhythm in this picture can be seen with the repetition of the windows going down is size as they get further away. This makes our eyes travel down the hallway.
Color: pink is the main focus of the image. The pink flower blends in with the hair and makes it the focal point. I see mostly secondary colors and cool colors . There are a few line patterns in the image as well.
Texture: It is illistrated in this photo through the bark of the palm tree. There is much roughness and sporatic growths that constants the sharp green leaves behind it, or the smooth white pillar in the background.
Unity
This image represents unity between various elements including color, line, shape, proportion, and rhythm.
The straight lines of the Tampa Art Museum carry your eye across the photo, the colors of the museum make the building pop out in the photo and even takes part in the proportion of the photo. The museum takes up a large part of the photo and we can tell it is apart of the foreground due to the clarity of the museum as opposed to the foggy background. There is repetition of circles among the building adding different shapes to the image and making the appearance of the museum more visually interesting on a whole
Variety
This photo represents variety of different textures, colors and shapes. The colorful and soft carpet, classic neutral color and texture of a wall, and a sharp dark plinth
Balance: Balance is demonstrated through the seemingly similar sides of the hallway that causes one to look down to the end. At the end there is a curve which catches the audiences attention and keeps the image from being flat.
Shape: You can see a combination of rectangles and squares throughout the whole image. There are few oval shapes and diamond like figures. The image has a lot of depth and your eyes follow it all the way to the back of the image.
Space: There is a lot of empty space within this image that really catches the eye. All the arches and empty spaces between the designs really contrast with the light coming in from behind it.
Line: The lines in the picture are horizontal and vertical as well. The bricks have a specific pattern followed throughout the whole image. The movement is distributed equally in and is not going in a distinct direction.
