This is the second homework of VIS60 last summer. This homework asked us to choose a single object and demonstrate that object in different ways. I chose the Scripps Pier located at La Jolla. Scripps Institution of Oceanography takes samples of the ocean from this pier for scientific research.
Artist statement: I took five pictures of the pier at different times from different angles. I want to demonstrate the look of the pier under changing point of views and light resources. The adding of background elements, like the surfing people and seagulls, further illustrated the flow of time around the pier. The most fun part of this homework was walking around and finding new positions to take pictures. I also enjoyed the light during sunset, which added beautiful tones to the pier.
In short, this homework is very enjoyable and I learnt a lot from it. Sticking to a single object is a great way to train myself. Also, the scenery of Scripps Beach is very beautiful. It is a perfect place for everyone to relax!
