Entry 41, Analyzing Visuals

   I believe that the visible lines and the bold color schemes and choices are all things I notice first. The color differences are the first things I notice as I look into this photo. The surface of the dragon as well as the sea can be a bit bumpy if you look at it. The dragon has scales all over the body and the ocean waves have stripes and waves splashing. The color was the first thing I had noticed as the author had used orange for the dragon and blue and white for the ocean. The color choices have a big contrast within them therefore causing the dragon to be popped out. The only repeating patterns are the scales on the dragon's body as well as the ocean waves behind the dragon. I believe that the artist is trying to show that the vast ocean is all the same so therefore he uses the repeating patterns. The orange and blue choices of colors makes the picture stand out, makes the dragon appear before us rather than blended into the background. The stripes on the ocean waves also reveals that the ocean waves are not very smooth as it forms a triangular shape and repeats itself after again. I believe that the artist is trying to show that the ocean, after miles and miles, every single wave is still the same. One after the other, splashing against each other. The picture makes me feel slightly scared at the dragon, it seems as if it was going to pop out of the picture and eat me as I am very scared of both snakes and dragons.
