Left Alone- Analysis

This picture uses dark and light colors to show contrast. Against each other they pop and stick out more. The tree branches are light brown and dark brown, and the leaves are light green and dark green. Behind it is a blue color that creates a glow in between the trees. It creates a mysterious and scary effect to this picture. The trees and the grasses that the children are on have a repetition. There are a lot of trees and a lot of grass. The alignment of the trees takes up most of the picture, but the children, the focal point, are balanced right in the middle of the trees and grass. They wear the lightest colors that are the most eye catching. The choice of material was wonderful, the artist chose two children. It seems persuading because the little girl who seems to be taking care of her little brother needs some sort of help. The little boy is lying on top of the little girls lap. She seems to have a grip on the little boy, providing him some what of comfort. She looks like she doesn’t know what to do and has nobody to help her. The argument is where is anybody else and why did they let these young children go off on their own. The message I get from the picture is to never let children who are young and ignorant go off alone in case they have an emergency. This was an interesting photo.
