Sticky Embrace Of Beauty

This advertisement is reckless. From the straws, to the word "junkie", and lets not forget the look of reget and well, quite frankly it looks like nothing is going on in her head.  This messege is not okay for society's standards, but more importantly to women in general.

1. I agree with Wysocki. With contrast, repetition, alignment and proximity make the reader key in on cetain parts of an image. It is acceptable to view the ad based on those standards, although the argument for nudity and exploiting women.

2. Having the image spoon fed to you via text is very helpful. It helps me as a writer and a reader to understand why we become attached or focused on key points in an image, reguardless of the sexuality or explicit nature of the image.

3. I find the book very appealing, and no, not because of the suggestive nature of the photograph. But rather the concept on how pictures are made appealing for all audiences.  A women may not want to see suggestive pictures of another women, or a man viewing another male.  But after reading this article, the reason I feel the Kinsly Institute created this book in a sort of ironic way in order to give the audience an example of this detailed imagery based on societies typical exploitation.

1. Artwork can be interpreted in different ways in different situations. Many times artwork is related to personal feelings or passions. I have had different felings on a piece of art.  That is okay, no one has the same exact mind, or passion.

2. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I believe there is a person for everyone out there. People look for different qualities in people  A match in these qualities can create a spark in a person. But we do construct beauty as a society. There are many social factors that effect decisions. Such as models, advertisements, televesion, and movies all help shape what society thinks is beautiful or appealing.

3. I agree on Wysocki's ideas on how to view an image. All suggestiveness aside, the contrast, repitition, alignment and proximity all can be considered subconcious ways we view an image. After our subconcious studying of an image, we then develop feelings and opinions of tha image.

Wysocki's statement is very much in relation to her article. It pushes us as an audience to learn the social and temporal expectations of visual composition. This can be said for all forms of art. There are tricks an artist can use visually to shape a way a viewer sees an image, similar to how a writer can make a reader perceive the text.
