elements ; shoes


At the beggining of the year we were given an assignment in which we had to take 7 pictures representing each element of art. Although this may seem easy, it was somewhat difficult to capture great photographs of shoes. ;]

Color : I enjoyed taking this photograph because it had a very wide variety of color in it. The photo was taken in my room but I did not want the average carpet flooring of my room to be apart of my picture so I decided to make my background paintings that I've created in my past art courses. These are two different paintings one being the back and one being the floor. I accented the colors in the background by choosing shoes that shared the same color value as the background.

Lines : This was the most easy picture to take because there are so many ways to capture lines. I took this photo in my closet where all of my heels were placed neatly on a shelf. I chose to make this a black & white photo because it showed more variety of the darker and lighter colors and lines.

Shape: I chose this photo to represent shape because the point of the shoe looks triangular and the backround also has a variety of shapes.


Space: This picture was the hardest to capture because the background was actually a little bit larger then the actual shoe but it turned out to be a great success.

Texture: I chose this photo to represent texture because it is very detailed with deep rough ridges on the shoe and the floor that the shoe is on also shows texture.

Light: This was very easy once i adjusted the levels of the photo.


Value: This was a very hard photo because I could not get theconcept of value but it turned out very good.



The overall project was complicated but I finished it and did a great job.
