Rule of Thirds

                                           PICTURE N 1                             PICTURE N 2
                                 
I want to explain the rule of thirds on the example of two photos taken by me.
According to the rule of thirds the picture N1 is taken correctly. The material object - the lamp- occupies one third of the picture. This proportion makes the picture more attractive. The stick of the lamp coincides with the vertical  line and the bed behind it sits right at the horizontal line. These two objects - the bed and the lamp- are meeting at the intersection of two lines - horizontal and vertical. Lamp, which is the brightest object in the picture sits in the crash point/power point of the picture.

Picture N 2 do not fall into proportions of the rule of thirds. The bed is lower the horizontal line and the the lamp is more centered. Nothing in this picture coincides with the lines. The intersection of the lamp and bed, their power point is positioned below the lower horizontal line.
This rule mostly apply when the artist wants to break a length of a wall or any other object which seems to be disproportionally long.
The ratio of two thirds to one or vice verse is a more harmonizing proportion than the usual half. This rule was first written by John Thomas Smith in 1797.

My fence photo

In my photo the most important thing is the fence. When you look at this photo you can see that the auto focus is in the centre of the photo. Front and the back of the picture is vague and unclear. If you look at the picture in the slope it looks like a road which goes far to the horizon and is lost in the far. In the far end of the picture you can see a blue building which is out of focus and this makes a picture  beautiful because this blue building merges with the sky and sets up a beautiful background. The day is shiny and the picture is cheerful and bright.

My own chess piece

I draw this picture of abstract chess by hand and then took a picture of outside the school standing in a bright sun light. I have used photoshop that's why the dark part of the picture is darker than it is in original. In this picture the quality of lines looks more glider and clear. In this picture you  see a huge building - a skyscraper- which has no roof and which is drawn from the air/sky. The building has 6 walls and all of them are different. the chess pieces are tearing off the walls and are gradually dropping down. The sun shines from the sky and there is a shade on the several walls of the building.

This picture was scanned by means of scanner machine, but there is no photoshop done, that's why it doesn't look so dark as in the first picture.

This picture is made by copy stand, but there is no photoshop as well, that's why there are borders, but if I could make a photoshop of  this picture I think this picture will be the best.

oil painting

This is a very beautiful oil painting. I see that it is autumn, because there are many yellow, red and orange leaves. In this picture the sky is blue and it means that it is day time, but there are so many trees that the front part of painting is dark and the lights in the street are turned on. Every detail in this picture isn' t drawn very carefully, instead it is a little bit abstact. Each leaf is drawn by only one touch of brush. When you look under the bridge you can see that the buildings are not reflected in the water. I see small boats reflected in the water, but when you look up of the bridge there are buildings and I think that there are different landscapes under and up of the bridge. It is raining, because there is reflection of lights and trees on the ground and there is a man with umbrella.
It arises in me emotions of saddness, as I don't like to walk in the rain, but at the same time it seems like very soon the sun will shine and everything will fill out with joy. It arises a feeling of hope.
The objects in the picture are proportionally placed with the bridge taking the most imminent part of the picture.

Ostrich

This is a men but he looks like ostrich. Somebody draw on his body the colors of ostrich and the man looks like it. Its very beautiful. The hand of this man is the head of the bird. This photo gives an impression that a human has big freedom to move the body.

This picture araises in me the emotions of fun, of joke. It is very bright with rich red colour and good contrast. The figure of the ostrich is proportionaly centered in thr picture. I think the artist has a unique technique and big fantasy.

Realism 

I see that stairways are coming from all sides of the picture and if you turn in any direction it seems correct to you as people are going up and down stairs in all directions and you can see this picture from all sides. This is a building and there are many people who work at this building. If you spin this picture by any side you can see the building and its outside. 

Emotionalism

I feel like there is no attractive force in the building and as if the people in it are mummified and are resurrected from Egyptian graves. This drawing looks like dream because there are many people without faces. 

Mood

We can see that sun is shining outside, but inside the building is gloomy and somber. This picture doesn't make me feel happy, on the contrary, it arises in me a feeling of distress and depression. If I look longer on the picture I feel like outside is a paradise but inside is the hell, where faceless people go aimlessly in all directions without end and if somebody can survive, then he goes out the door into the paradise. May be this is a labyrinth? 

Formalism 

The objects in the picture are well organised, the steps of the people and their movements are correctly shown. I like the shading of the picture and contrast between the inside and outside. I think the artist used here a unique technique in order to draw this picture, as it is correct from all the sides.

Black House

In this drawing I see a country house, very far from the city. Near the house there are many high grasses. The season is winter because there are no leaves on the trees and the sky is white, as well as the ground. It is morning. It seems like nobody lives in the house because the grass is too high, so that it almost covers the front door. There is no snow but the weather is cold and the village is in silence.

When I look at this picture I feel peace of heart. I look at the picture and feel the cold wind blowing around. Everything is drained and washed out.

The design of the picture is simple and complex at the same time. The author didn't draw a sky, but when you look at it you feel like he drew it. The same can be said about surroundings. I think he virtuously plays with light and shadow.
