I am not really sure if I understand the assignment so much. I read up on Norman Rockwell and I know who he was but I never really studied his style.I think I know what is lacking by looking at his work again and that is the sense of humor. Many of his paintings had a punch line somehow. I am going to think more about this. But the question I asked you was, do you want us to try and make a painting out of the photographs? I'm not really into using a lot of the artistic tools in Photoshop. Is that what you mean when you say "to compose an image in the "idealized" style of Norman Rockwell"?I think the lighting is key as you say, but now I think it was also the sense of humor involved as well. That's why I took the grandparents photo out.Michèle
Yup, it does. Hmmm. It's hard to portray the American style but I will try. I remember many of his prints in the early version of Reader's Digest magazines my grandparents had that they collected when I was little. I guess the grandparents do kind of work. I like the expressions I have seen in google. I think I know the Freedom from Want (Is that the turkey feast with the couple serving a huge bird at the table?) I am going to look up the other one.Thank you again.Michèle
Again. Yes, it does. Not exactly an "ideal". This was at the garage and a black storm came with hail and the employees just stood there watching. I don't think it works with what your description is but I like the guy on the right's body language.
Hi everyone. I may give you all a break as I have broken a rib today at a water park. Some guy came down the children's slide at full speed into my back. Lauren is fine because she was between my legs. First time I ever brought them there and this was the first run. Ended up with an exciting time at the hospital. (The weather was so bad, I thought they deserved a treat)
