1. I responded to photos of the pieces of the body, where the photographer had framed the image tightly around one section to capture great detail. Some artists that did this were Weston, Birot and Coplans.
2.I was able to respond and relate to the photos by Dijstra of the teenagers on the beach. The large format prints really conveyed the individuality of each of the teenagers. Also by keeping the same setting, Dijstra was also able to capture each of the kids naturally without a distracting background.
1. I responded to the body in motion pictures. It's cool to see people in mid-leap or dance. Some artists who did this were Greenfield, Cartier-Bresson, and Marey.
2. I was really able to respond to the photos which had a imperfect subject. Some artists who did this were Disfarmer, Penn, Birot, Strandn and Avedon. They were especially interesting because all throughout the media perfect people are the guidelines for beauty. It is nice to see the beauty of imperfect people.
i responded (like rebecca) to all the close ups because they were isolated so sometimes it was more difficult to tell what a specific photograph was, which lead to abstract images in some cases.
i related to some of the people who captured movement because these all seemed more human, i guess, than the ones where people were shot being still. I especially though that the ones of the dance troops were eceptionally well done. Marey and Greenfield were some of the artists in this field.

1. I responded the most to the body language photos. I really liked to see what inferences you could make about the person from the positions of their body, the "body never lies" idea. I think Penn's picture of Capote, Avedon, and Disfarmer were some of the photographers who did this really well. I like the simplicity of the background, with all the focus on the subject. 2. Being an athlete, i really related to some of the athletic body pictures. I liked the tightly packed and overwhelming Birot picture of the rugby players. I also liked the dance pictures with movement in them, especially the Morgan photo of the women in the dress with the leg swooping up.
1.I mostly responded to the pictures about the body in motion and the idea of a perfect body. The most interesting aspect of the body is how it's able to do exactly what it needs to do in the moment. Many Greek statues and a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci made me think of how proportions and symmetry make a body perfect/imperfect. 2.I responded to the images by Frank (where he framed dancers' legs standing in different positions), Greenfield (dancer's in movement), Boubat (children playing) and Sander (3 boys with bikes). It is amazing to think how much a person's body can do (for ex. dance, play a sport etc.)and tell about a person. It's also interesting to watch how children's bodies work.
1. I responded to the pictures of the body at work the most, especially when it captured the struggle and hard work of people in physical labor.
2. I perosonally responded and related to the pictures of body language. Sometimes people can understand traits about me just by my body language without me even saying anything. My favorite example of this is the picture of the three boys in suits with bikes by Sander. Each one has a different personality, and each one stands a different way. We've seen this picture in many different slide shows, and it's always my favorite example of the power of body language.
1.) I responded to the photos of the body at work. I found it fascinating how photographers like Dorothea Lange could truly capture the essence of how the body struggles and works when it is completing a job.
2.) I really responded to the images of dancers by Lois Greenfield. I found them interesting because they made you stop and think. At least for me, I wasn't clear on how she created these images (esp. without photoshop.)
1. I responded most to parts of the body. I find it interesting how each part of the body looks by itself because it gives it more character and exaggerates the details.
2. I related to the pictures of body language. A lot of times people can tell what I'm feeling based off the way I'm holding myself. It can also show how I think of myself in a specific situation.
I enjoyed the pictures that were symetrical. I thought it was cool that an artist would try and make something that is imperfect, perfect (if that makes any sense).
I was really able to respond to the pictures shot into a funhouse mirror. I think it is an interesting outlook on the world, and it is the exact opposite of symetry. Yay for condradicting yourself!!
1. the aspect i liked the best out of the slide show was body language. espically the photos by lange, and what he said about how you can tell what a person's personaility is like just by how they stand. it was very intresting trying to read into a persons life just by the way they stand or the way they want to be seen as.
2. i responded to the photos by the hungarian photographer dritikol, he stil focused on the shapes of the body and classic fashion poses, but he brought more emotion into the photo and gave it more feeling.
1. I responded to the bodies in motion part of the slideshow. I loved how through movement one can convey not just perpose but also emotion.
2. I really was intrigued by the photographs of Greenfield, of the dancers. Her use of high speed to capture them as well as her framing showed a perfect moment of the ability of the body. I also liked the photos of Munckasi - so much joy in movement.
1. i responded to the body language pictures. I like the idea of how you can capture someones personality by them even just standing naturally against a wall. I especially liked Dijstra and Disfarmer.
2. The photos by Mayne of the children playing in the street captured every child's individual movement and personality
I responded most to the abstract photos in the slide show. I thought it was really interesting how the photographers chose to show the bodies in ways that made them look more like random shapes rather than parts of a whole.
I really responded to the body language photos because so much can be said just through the way you present yourself. people often say that they can tell my reaction to a question they ask me even before I say anything because the response is so clearly written on my face.
The aspect of the slideshow i responded to the most was the distortion of the body. I was interested by the series of bodies reflected in fun house mirrors (by Kertesz) and also by Hajek-Halke's series of double exposures.
I found Goldblatt's "Particulars" series particularly interesting, and I thought the images he created were very striking. I felt that Disfarmer's photos of ordinary people were fascinating illustrations of emotions and human interactions.
I enjoyed the photos of the body in motion (such as Mayne's photos of the children on english streets). I liked looking at the way that their muscles and faces were poised and tensed for the upcoming game. I really responded to the photos by Dijstra- their awkward yet natural poses and direct eye contact with the camera were captivating.
I responded the images that showed the body at work such as Hine's photographs of the workers building the Empire State Building. I think the struggle they are going through makes the photos more interesting.
I responded to the image of the little girl ascending a staircase by Krause. I also liked the stop action photographs by Muybridge, because it was interesting to look at the sequence of the horse's jump.
1. I enjoyed the classic nudes and the pictures that explored sensuality and the shapes of the body.
2. I really responded to the dance on the street series because I find looking at and thinking about the shapes people make naturally are very interesting.
1. I responded to the photos that were close ups of different parts of the body. The framing of the picture were done that the vierwer couldnt really tell at first what the picture was of. The body parts were also portrayed through shapes, emphasized by the lighting and simple background.
2. I was able to respond and relate to the motion pictures. The pictures that were caught in mid air, were just so unreal.
uno. i was really drawn to the photos by Disfarmer in the studio. It was amazing to see that he could capture the personalities of these normal people even though it was in a superficial environment, and to see their reactions to being put on the spot. It was also interesting to see the similarities between the people in the photos, and how they naturally imitated one another without realizing it. It makes me wonder what my body language looks like when i am feeling a certain way.
two. Along with Disfarmer's photos, I really responded to Langes photo which had a similar feel to Disfarmer's photos. It also showed even more in that it was trying to tell the story as it was of the man out of work on the site, not in the studio.
alright, so i responded to photographs that focused on parts of the body. i particularly enjoyed the work of Weston and Kertesz. i saw the Edward Weston exhibit at the Getty this summer and i really ejnoyed all of his work.
I responded to the photos on the body at work the most. Many of these photos "were not photographs until the photographer made them" giving them power greater than merely the subject.
Lange accomplished this to an incredible extent, capturing the emotion of the subject and making it even more powerful. Greenfield also did the same but in a much different manner. The compisition of Greenfield's photos contributed greatly to the dancers fluid look.
1. I responded to the photos of the body in motion/at work, ect. They showed the human body pushing its limits, as opposed to standing/sitting/lying helplessly, as it was in many of the other sections of this slide. I found these photographs more realistic than those in which the people have been carefully positioned. The body was created to carry out movement, and therefore appears more natural when doing so.
2. I can relate to Dijkstra's photographs of the teenagers on the beach, because they are extremely realistic. Unlike teens exhibited by the media, the subjects of these photos had visable flaws and insecurities. They looked like real people that I could, potentially, know.
1. I responded most to the body language pictures. I thought it was really cool how people's body language clearly conveyed thier emotions.
2. I responded most to the stop-motion bodies in action. This was done by photographers like Muybridge. I responded most to this because instead of the bodies weren't posed, the picture showed how bodies move naturally.
1) I was really inspirted by the photographs that looked at the body as something abstract or that focused on the unconventionally beautiful aspects of the body, especially through self-portraits. An artist who focuses on their own imperfections has more courage, I think, than one who photographs someone else's imperfections.
1. I responded to the classic nude and body parts the most. I feel that the studio close ups of shapes and curves were the most inspiring photographs. They combined both contemporary art with classical Greek and Roman ideals.
2. The most memorable photos from the slide show depicted natural beauty. I particularly enjoyed Brandt, Horst and Weston. I related to Krause's photograph of he young girl ascending a staircase as well as Franck's photograph of the dancers.
I responded most to the photos of parts of the body where the photos framed parts really well and focused on detail. A photographer that did this was Weston.
The photos i related to most were the body language ones. I think body language is really interesting and to capture it is very cool. A photographer who did this was Avedon.
I liked the part of the slide show showing body language and the close ups on hands, feet, etc. because the close ups showed detail on the hands i never noticed before.
The images i responded to were the Greenfield pictures of dancers with tires on the head because it was very cool looking and i also liked the hands and feet pictures like the ones by Goldblatt, Anderson, Man-ray and Nixon.
I responded most to photos that were intimate in setting, that were close-ups and showed small parts of the body but allowed the viewer to get a broad sense of who the subject was. The images that I responded to included in this category were Goldblatt's photographs of hands in laps, Anderson's intertwined legs with matching scars, Man-Ray's hand-and-lip image, and especially Gaino's image of feet on a bed.
1. I really responded to the typical classic nudes and the body at rest. I think these really showed a lot of body language, i.e. how people sit / position themselves when they aren't told to do anything. Also, with the classic nudes, you could see all of the shapes of the body without clothes to distract it. The musculature, bones, etc. were all very clear. I also responded to some of the body in motion ones, as some of them were very gorgeous and looked like citizens going through everyday life. I find this intriguing.
2. I could relate to some of the bodies with imperfections, or not the "typical" ideal body style. The media is so focused on the ideal they forget the other kinds of beauty sometimes. I liked Avedon's a lot, as well as Disfarmer, Penn, and Birot. They all used this style at one point or another.
The photos that I found to be the most powerful were the decisive moment shots, such as Cartier-Bresson's photograph of the man jumping over the puddle. They are interesting to look at because it isn't something you can see yourself. It captures a specific moment that kind of leaves you hanging. I also responded to Disfarmer's photographs because they each said something about the subjects personality. It's interesting to see how people look in pictures when you just take them as is.
1. I especially responded to the unclassic nude pictures where they showed imperfections instead of what people are used to seeing (nude models posing with make up, etc.). I enjoyed seeing more of a realistic twist where the unflattering pictures displayed that the body isn't always so perfect and beautiful. It is more courageous and powerful.
2. I am a big fan of the Avedon pictures because they give off the beautiful sides of people that you would not see as "traditionally beautiful."
I responded to the photos of elderly poeple/injured poeple/imperfect people. I found it interesting that people with ailments usually not associated beauty, were used to show a different side of the body and its image.
I also respnded to the photos of the poeple jumoing in mid-air. Taken during the "decisive moment." Cool stuff.
1) i responded the the body parts, when the artist captured a certain part of the body and focused on that specific part and the absttract shapes that formed from that body part. For instance Weston of Coplans. 2) i also responded to the pictures of the body in motion. The way the body moves and its form when in movement. Some artist who photographed this theme were Greenfield, Munekasi, and Bresson
1.I responded well to the series of close ups on different parts of the body, where the body part was tightly framed. Some artists that did this were Goldblatt, Gaino, Anderson, Man-ray and Modutti.
2. I also responded to the pictures illustrating different natural positions and body language of people on the streets in new york. It was interesting to see people behaving naturally when they believed no one was watching. An artist that did this well was Roy Decarava.
Out of the slide show i really enjoyed the photos based on body language. I think that we can learn alot from body language and it would be something i would love to explore.
I liked Lang's pictures and I believe that we can learn alot by the way someone is standing or how their body is reflecting their emotions.
1. I was interested in the solarizationa tat were shown in the slide show. I haven't seen a solarization like those before, where the peron or object was perfevtly outlined. Another part of the slide show that I enjoyed were the negative pictures of the person with glow tape stuck on their body and walking across.
2. I really could relate to to the Cannon of Polyclitus statue because it showed beaytu in a way that no other piece did. Instead of being a Sanguinetti picture of a girl in a certail position because it looked good, the statue had a mathimatical perpose as well, which made me think of every picture and wonder they had the same technique.
1. I responded to both the body in motion as well as the body at rest. I noticed in the slideshow, people who were moving in a fast pace that told a story sort of. The body at rest intrigued me as well.
2. Irving Penn's corner photos interested me the most. I like the idea of putting someone in a space and seeing how they occupy it. I was able to respond to the photos of the people dancing as well.
1. I really responded to the pictures of the working body. I liked how the photographs showed the beauty of the body as well as its capabilities. The demonstration of what the body can do seemed to add to its beauty. They were just as reverent and beautiful as the classic nudes, or body at rest pictures, but I liked the element of functionality in the photographs.
2. I really liked Greenfield's photographs of dancers in mid-air. The definition in their bodies, and the sharpness of the image made it a beautiful study of the body's capacities. The bright colors also gave the photographs an almost whimsical feel, though they could also be considered serious studies of the body.
1. I really liked the pictures od the dancers. They all looked so graceful, I really liked Greenfield's.
2. I related to the working body, because they all seemed so real, and interesting in a simple way. Some of the pictures of dancer's looked so graceful it was unreal, and then you see these pictures of real people, doing real things and it adds a certain... for lack of a better word, reality.
Laurie Anderson expressed her emotions through her hands. She used the light in different ways to possibly express her feelings. THe feelings inside human's are reflected through their body motions. The only thing that I don't like about these video clips is the lighting that they are shown in. It only focuses on the person giving a very depressing setting. The way things go is by far the coolest clip of them all. 1.)I like the approach on the Way things go because it brought into perspective more than just one trait(or person in most cases) which allowed us to see the connection between many different things. 2. Some performances were structured around the strictly asthetic apeal while other segments envolved more of the basic for of the body, not neccsarily to be seen as "asthetically pleasing" 3.in laurie anderson's clip she wasz very efective in interating with the audience, she seemed to greet them a fair amount, and the performence seemed to be for the audience. While other clips didn't seem to inlude interaction with the audience.

The Body at work was the part of the slide show i responded to. The photos of the people working on the empire state building were pretty cool.
The pictures by Alexander Rodchenko i really like because of the way he angles is photos.

I responded to photographs of Marcelo Coelho, the more abstract ones of blurred dancers. I loved the colors, and the way the body seemed so fluid.
i really responded to reifenstall's images of people in mid air, caught in the moment. yeah, i like them.
1.I responded well to the series of close ups on different parts of the body, where the body part was tightly framed. Some artists that did this were Goldblatt, Gaino, Anderson, Man-ray and Modutti.
2. I also responded to the pictures illustrating different natural positions and body language of people on the streets in new york. It was interesting to see people behaving naturally when they believed no one was watching. An artist that did this well was Roy Decarava.

2. I really could relate to to the Cannon of Polyclitus statue because it showed beaytu in a way that no other piece did. Instead of being a Sanguinetti picture of a girl in a certail position because it looked good, the statue had a mathimatical perpose as well, which made me think of every picture and wonder they had the same technique.
1. I responded to both the body in motion as well as the body at rest. I noticed in the slideshow, people who were moving in a fast pace that told a story sort of. The body at rest intrigued me as well.
2. Irving Penn's corner photos interested me the most. I like the idea of putting someone in a space and seeing how they occupy it. I was able to respond to the photos of the people dancing as well.
1. I really responded to the pictures of the working body. I liked how the photographs showed the beauty of the body as well as its capabilities. The demonstration of what the body can do seemed to add to its beauty. They were just as reverent and beautiful as the classic nudes, or body at rest pictures, but I liked the element of functionality in the photographs.
2. I really liked Greenfield's photographs of dancers in mid-air. The definition in their bodies, and the sharpness of the image made it a beautiful study of the body's capacities. The bright colors also gave the photographs an almost whimsical feel, though they could also be considered serious studies of the body.
1. I really liked the pictures od the dancers. They all looked so graceful, I really liked Greenfield's.
2. I related to the working body, because they all seemed so real, and interesting in a simple way. Some of the pictures of dancer's looked so graceful it was unreal, and then you see these pictures of real people, doing real things and it adds a certain... for lack of a better word, reality.
Laurie Anderson expressed her emotions through her hands. She used the light in different ways to possibly express her feelings. THe feelings inside human's are reflected through their body motions. The only thing that I don't like about these video clips is the lighting that they are shown in. It only focuses on the person giving a very depressing setting. The way things go is by far the coolest clip of them all.
1.)I like the approach on the Way things go because it brought into perspective more than just one trait(or person in most cases) which allowed us to see the connection between many different things.
2. Some performances were structured around the strictly asthetic apeal while other segments envolved more of the basic for of the body, not neccsarily to be seen as "asthetically pleasing"
3.in laurie anderson's clip she wasz very efective in interating with the audience, she seemed to greet them a fair amount, and the performence seemed to be for the audience. While other clips didn't seem to inlude interaction with the audience.
