Reaction • When you first look at this picture, how do you feel? • What kind of message do you think the artist is trying to convey?
When I first saw this picture, it kind of scared me because of the way the baby looks, but then when I understood what purpose was, I understood it completely. I believe the message of this is that kids do what we do and if we are always watching a TV or any electronic, they’re going to be doing the same thing.
Logos • Is the message being sent by the artist true? Is it logical?
I believe that the message is very true and logical, especially in the society that we live in today where we depend on electronics such as cell phones, computers and televisions to manage our lives and to also entertain us.
Ethos • Is the artist of this artwork reliable and credible after seeing this picture?
Yes, I believe that the artist is very reliable because he/she is sending a very true message across to the audience and that makes them creditable.
Pathos • What emotional impact does this have on the audience?
I believe that the emotional impact is has on the audience is that we’re sort of corrupting our youth when we are relying on electronics in our everyday life. I also believe that this picture could cause some guilt in the eyes of the audience because they know that this is true and they’re at fault.
Lighting Which way is the light coming from? Why do you think they designed it that way? Why do you think the baby’s eye is blue? Why isn’t it black and white like the rest of the picture?
The lighting is coming from the left side of the picture and I think the artist did it that way to emphasize the TV on that side of the child’s face. If it were coming from the right, the lighting would overtake the emphasis of the TV. I think the baby’s eye is blue to contrast against the black in the surroundings. This is also another technique of making the eye the emphasis of the picture.
Point-of-View Who do you believe this picture was meant to impact? How do you think it will impact them?
I think that this picture was meant to impact parents of young kids because they are the ones that are doing this to their children. I think that this picture will open their eyes to what they’re doing really does impact their children everyday and that even little things effect them.
Aesthetics Why is this the best location for the written message? Why did the artist choose this font for his project?
This is the best location because it is in the center of the picture and it is right next to the focal point of the picture, which is the eye/TV. This font is the best choice because it’s easy to read and straight to the point. The artist is making it very simple for the audience to understand what he’s trying to get across to them.
Details • Why do you think that is right side of the baby’s face is omitted from the picture?
I think that the right side of the baby’s face is omitted because it puts more focus on the left side, which is where the focal point of the picture is located. If the right side was included, the picture wouldn’t have as great of an impact on the viewers.
