Image Essay # 3

For this image essay, I will talk about definition. We had the word definition come up a lot during different lectures and assignments. Definition is the degree to a shape is distinguished from both the ground area and from other shapes within the design. Clearly defined shapes tend to advance while blurred shapes tend to recede. In the image shown, there is a background that is mostly green with some yellows and white and in the foreground there is a massive object that is pink. The pink object has some shapes that look like eggs. The egg shaped objects look somewhat metallic and gives off a reflection of the background and of other parts of the object that is below. The definition used to define the separate objects is clearly used well. The use of the reflection of different things off the egg shaped object and shadows separate the object from the background. The image also shows that the egg shaped objects in the front are crisper and is more defines. The egg shaped objects toward the back seem to recede into the background and tends to blur a bit with the background, which makes this image a pretty good representation of definition.
