Week Five, Day Two

Describe.
Photography sends a visual message to all audiences. The pictures evoke emotion and increase awareness of animal shelter procedures. The goal of the pictures are to increase the rate of adoptions. Photography is a great form of communication that can be posted on the internet and spread awareness quickly to a variety of audiences.

Interpret.
Artistic skills can encompass each animal's personalities. Through different camera angles, editing techniques and various compositions; the personalities shine through. By having an eye-level camera angle, the audience is entering into the animal's world on his/her own level. With a crooked eye-level, the audience can view the animal's personality as energetic and fun loving. In addition to personality, the artistic skills can show the animal's size. Some of the animals play while taking the pictures so skills are shown too.

Evaluate. I imagine portraits and drawings would do well in an animal shelter. Perhaps a cartoon drawing of the human with his/her potential adopted animal. This would be a great idea for kids. Maybe I'm just on this kick with drawings...so even having a children's drawing competition of the best animal. The child/children with the best drawing receives a free adoption fee waiver. It would be great to collaborate with other artists; regardless of their ages. Local artists could be really interested. As for other art forms, videos of the animals playing may also result in a great interest in the community.

These are pictures from today...these kittens are very cute and adoptable. The photography shows the animal's personalities. Pictures, such as these, could easily sway people to adopt animals based on their adorable looks.
