Color, Form, Depth, and Movement

Burton, Tim (Director). (2005). Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. [Video]. United States: Warner Bros. Pictures.

Color can be used to express a certain mood as it does in Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The bright colors surrounding the dull skin of the characters puts off a creepy, unsettling vibe while maintaining the fantasy feel of the setting. 

Williams, Douglas. Elephant-pointillism. Digital image. Artist Rising. DSWilliams Art Gallery, 2009. Web. 31 Aug. 2014.

This image by Douglas Williams utilizes pointilism to produce a realistic work. It portrays a real-world image with a piece comprised completely of points on paper.

Larisa, Larisa. Strawfield. Digital image. Better Digital Photos Tips. N.p., n.d. Web. 31 Aug. 2014.

This landscape photograph demonstrates a deep depth of field because images in the foreground, middle-ground, and background are all in focus. The vastness of the field is portrayed in this picture.


Carter, Eric. The Metro. Digital image. Photo.net. N.p., 01 Jan. 2006. Web. 31 Aug. 2014.

This image is an example of implied movement. The blur of the subway train suggests that it is in motion, moving much faster than the people waiting for it in the terminal.
