This online blog has been created to enhance the communication between students during the artmaking process. While working on a photographic work and upon completion, students will post their images and wait for comments from their fellow peers, teacher, and other registered users. This blog will also be used as a venue to discuss historical and contemporary works by artists from around the world.

Online Sketchbook Prompt Seventeen

What are your first thoughts when you look at this image? How do you think the image was created? What does this photograph represent to you?
in response to beckstar!: how do you know that its definitely milk? it could be of another substance, like glue, or paint. i think of it as a milky substance, too, but im just you cant always jump to conclusions. i think the photographer put his hand in a liquid while holding a flower, and raised his hand just enough to expose the fingers and thumb. i think it is creative and artistic, but i dont really find a meaning to it.
This image grosses me out. I don't like milk at all. The i think about how bad this poor guy's hand is going to smell after he gets his hand out of that milk.
Overall, i think the image is artistic, because i personally wouldn't think to have someone do this, it looks like an interesting piece overall. Maybe the meaning has something to do with the flower drowning or something. Other then that, i don't see a meaningful meaning.
I think this is a very interesting picture. I just don't like how they use milk(It is milk right?) It is nasty. But other than that it looks really neat.
I really do not know what to say when I look at this picture.For some reason this image gives off this extrodinary sense of buety and power. I think if people tried to open up their imagination and tried to get around the fact that the hand might be in milk, we could see what the artist is really trying to show and tel us.
To me this photo makes me think of someone trying to wash their hands or get rid of everything bad in their life. The hand is very dark and the liquid is the opposite kind of like good and bad.
I realy like this photograph, but it really groses me out because the hands look really grose when wet. Maybe if the guy put lotion on them they would have looked better. But i think the picture was taken cut and dry the way it came out, someone laying their hand in what looks like milk and then put a dieing dandylion in his hand, then just shot with a camera. I have no idea what this picture means, but it looks fantastic except for those nastay hands!
It looks like he's playing in a puddle of milk or some other white substance. It's really creative with the fact that it's just the fingers and a flower showing from the subtance and not the entire hand.
My first thoughts are that this is a strange photograph, and it kind of creeps me out.
This is because the photo is in black and white, so it doesnt nessisarily mean that whatever substance this guys hand is in is milk.
The more I looked at it, it made me think of like a waxy substance that would preserve stuff. I think this because the hand is just kind of there, it isnt holding the flower, and it doesn't look tense. Also the flower looks like it is dying, so it could mean that the hand is of someone dying/dead.
It reminded me of a scary movie where the murderer kept stuff of the people they killed. In this case the murderer kept a hand, and is now trying to preserve it.
I think this image was created by someone actually putting their hand in whatever substance this is with a flower and someone just taking the photo.
Overall I like this photo because it really gets you thinking about it.
response to les!: I never said it was definitely milk. That is just what came to my head. That's what it looks like, and that is what it will forever be in my mind. If you don't believe it to be milk, that's fine.

Honestly, my first thought is why did this guy put his hand in milk? I really don't find it all that artisitc of an image.
