Gianni Berengo Gardin

1. My first impression of this picture reminds me of the typical lifestyle of children in the olden days.
2. Fine Art
3. The subject is the children playing and skipping
4. It is a black and white picture. It shows movement and placement.
4. The form and space in this picture could give the impression that it was not planned, although the picture is very balanced as well as the building in the background which helps to even the picture out.

Analysis:
1. The thing that stands out the most is the movement of the little girl in the middle. Showing an instant moment swell as the movement of the women in the background.
2. On the sides of the picture there are two children at the same eye-level, then the other two children which begin to give depth. Lastly the woman in movement as well as the two women in the distance balance the picture out.
3. The only contrast seen is the white roofs of the 'stores', with everything else that is black/grey.

Interpretation:
1. It is about showing the lifestyle of children in a specific period in a specific place.
2.The message is quiet simple. the everyday life.
3. The picture doesn't really have much of a purpose besides showing how a child had fun previously.
4. In a sense it reminds me of my childhood as that was a game I used to play.

Evaluation:
1. No it didn't because the picture is simple and clear.
2. Yes because of how balanced it is, as well as the instant movement seen in it.
3. Yes I think it is, because recapturing a moment like this could not happen.
4. Probably not
5. Yes i understand the subject matter, and the elements are cortical because they allow you to visualise what is actually there and what is happening.
6. Yes very well
7. Yes I would.
8. Yes, spacing
9. Not really
