Happiness: Emotion and Image
Happiness and Sadness
As we go through life we experience events that affect us emotionally. Sometimes the events can make us happy while other times the event can make us feel sad. For example, attending a family reunion and seeing relatives that you have not seen for some time oftentimes makes the individual feel happy. However, losing a loved one would make the individual feel extremely sad. In two pieces of what could be termed a visual text, the viewer is brought into a space where he or she witnesses a moment of happiness and a moment of what appears to be deep sadness. An analysis of each picture through its use imagery, design, and human impact will demonstrate that a picture can convey a specific emotion.
The first picture makes the viewer think of the show “Good Times”. It’s a very interesting text that caught my eye. The image of the people in the picture looks as if they’re having a great time. The clothes that each one has on, makes it look like they are ready to party. The imagery demonstrates that each person in the image is feeling happy about where they are and what they are experiencing. In the other image, it shows a lot of emotional sadness. There is this sad young lady sitting alone. The darkness in the room makes me think of sadness. The dark room brings a pale look on her face as the light shines a little upon her. The image of the girl looks as if she has a lot on her mind. In these images the emotions of happiness and sadness that are expressed by each person.
The design of each image also draws the attention of the viewer. In the image that portrays the emotion of what it feels like to be happy, the background gets the viewer’s attention with a line-up of different varieties of singers and the spotlight also brings the viewer’s eyes directly to the center of the floor where you can see that it’s an split in the middle, where it looks as if all females are on the left side and all males are on the other.
