Team Awsome: Floating Heads

Graphically vivd images help get a message that is trying to symbolize or an idea that an artist is trying to show through his art work. During the nineteeth century Aubrey Beardsleys image of Salome admiring the several head of John the Baabtist in The Dancers Reward in 1893 is stylish striking and decidedly glory but by looking at the photo his head is attached but not showen. In the photo of John the Babtist in The Dancers Reward the picture looks like its going to almost pop out of the image due to graphic vivid images but the head is simply set on a pedestal looking somewhat forlorn. Another way not always used approach done by artist is found by the famous black and white election poster of Adolf Hitlers failed 1932 attempt to be elected as chancellor of Germany. The photo of Adolf Hitlers head with a dull face not showing any emoetion which is harder for viewers to understand what the artist is trying to show. The examples of art that are being used all have the same approach given to portray the meaning behined each art piece. The term "Floating Heads" is best described as a technique used to create art by taking a head of a famous or historical changer that has a strong color backround to extract the head of the photo. Artist use different colors to set moods to the photos for the viewer to understand the meaning of what the artist has towards each picture. The head of there choice put on there work is usually set somewhere on the picture, floating or set somewhere on the page. Words on the page give an image in your head on how they are feeling by usage of words and expressions of the head on the page.
