5A: Picture

Original Picture:





































Modified Picture:

          The picture I chose is by Salvador Dali and it is called the "Temptation of Saint Anthony". I chose this picture because it appeared to be very mysterious and also caught my attention. As I started to look at his picture I realized that there are many aspects of the painting some dealing with the use of shading and others dealing with the placements of his lines. One of the most interesting parts I found out about Salvador Dali's paintings is that lots of his works are formed as a picture with in a picture.
          The perfect example of how the picture with in a picture style of Dali's is in the modified picture. The modified picture is a full shot of saint Anthony holding his cross. This modified picture is a picture on its own. This picture also follows the rule of thirds because it is also if you divide the picture using horizontal lines you realize that there is a part of Saint Anthony in each section and some parts of his body are even lined up with the lines. The same effect happens also whenever the modified picture is dived into three sections using vertical lines. The examples of this would be how there is a part of  Saint Anthony's body lined up with each line. 
             The aspects of the original picture are different than aspects of the modified picture. The main difference between the two pictures is space. The sense of space in the original picture is very deep. When viewing the original picture the audience get a sense that Saint Anthony is in a very vast and land that doesn't seem to end.  The audience also gets a feeling that Saint Anthony is a in a mythical land due to the gigantic creatures that are around him.
