  • Consider the use of vectors, line, contrast, composition, colour, and perspective (there are more techniques)

    This picture uses a contrast of black and whit colours, the sky is full of white and blue to be seen to even let in a tiny bit of the sun. The snow all around the camp is showing that it would of been freezing cold. The lines of the fence that are straight and almost as if it blends in with the other shapes that are straight and give the impression of structure and prison like.
  • How can the visual elements in the photo evoke empathy and reverence from a viewer?

    In this photo you can almost visualize all the Jewish men and woman who were there. The vector of the fence that you can see traveling on, almost forever, as you never see the end of the fence line. This gives you a true feeling of empathy and deep respect for these people who had to deal with this in their lives. You can see that the all shapes  are ridged and structure. It was a place for murder and you can see this, this would of been torture for these innocent people.
  • How is Auschwitz represented in this photo?

    It is represented in this photo as being a cold, heartless place, built for only torture, murder and despair.  
  • Find another photo of Auschwitz that you feel has an important representation of this place that caused so much pain and destruction. Analyse the use of visual techniques which make it particularly engaging. How does it represent this location?
