all of "Developing a Conncentration" worksheet one

Artist: Elena Kalis

1. Subject matter: Children, props, bright colors, under water.
Compostion: simple (just the subjects and props)

2. Space in this artist's work is usually rather shallow, there's never really anything in the background to see. So everything is in focus, the background is just the white walls of the pool (in Alice in Waterland).

3. All the pieces I have seen from this artist are photos.

4. Of all the photos on the website the common denominator is the "underwater" element and children. The way the water makes hair, clothing, and when the kids breathe out the bubbles they make add to the beauty of the photos.

5. If I had to guess which picture they took first I would guess that it'd be the pictures in the album "H201" because they look experimental, they are all face shots and there are no props. The last photos to be taken I guess are the Alice in Waterland, mostly all those photos are full body shots, the eyes of the subjects are usually open and props are used. Plus that whole set tells a story where as I feel like the other ones are just several shots that relate put into the album.

6. Yes, there is evidence of growth. As I described in the last question the "Alice in Waterland" album tells a story, and the other two seem like random shots that relate that were out together.

7. The artists concentration is "Underwater".
