A diptych is a juxtaposition of two images right next to each other. In design we were asked to take two lines from our poem and take two photographs to represent each line. They were meant to kind of support each other. The purpose of this project was to show two images and how they relate to eachother.

“How did that artist get that face just perfect?”
“How did these famous poets do it so easily?”

When thinking of perfection the one thing that comes to mind is a sphere because it is perfectly round in 3 dimensions. So I used a marble which is a sphere. I also believe that some artists achieve perfection in my mind when some of their art just looks just right. In my poem a face that looks perfect. I also struggle with writing poems and it seemed like other poets did it so easily. In my diptych I had a picture of math, a subject that people often struggle with.

For my photo I used a couple of poster boards that I had lying around to make a background that was not distracting. I chose to do this because I wanted the focus to be on the subject not on the background. I tried using the rule of thirds for the marble, but failed to do so for the math homework. I used a high aperture because there was not very much light in the room where I was taking the picture.
