Evoke emotion using the colour red - Critique - Edmonton Photography School

The second topic for critique was selected by the second year students.  This is the first time that the second year students were the judges in critique class.  The images were graded by each of the students, and their mark was derived from the average of the results.

It was interesting to see the variations in the marks and feedback from 18 different individuals.  It is a testament to how much art is subjective.  It was also an exercise for the second year students to practice constructive criticism, and evaluating other individual's work.  Something that is more difficult than many might expect.

This week's topic was to "Evoke emotion using the colour red".  There were many images that centred around the themes of passion, leading to a few racier images.  However, many of the more successful images had a blood component in them.

Below are the 6 images that received the highest marks as chosen by the Second Year NAIT Photographic Technology students.
