The photo I choose is one of my family portraits which was shot on Granville island this summer.
This is the fifth year I have been studied in Vancouver as an international student. It was the first time for my parents to visit Vancouver and met me in this city. When we visited Granville Island we asked a random person to took this photo for our reunion. I could still remember the last family portrait we took was three years ago.
When I was little my parents took me to travel around world. However, this time I became the guide to take care of them. It is not only a family portrait but also symbolizes that I grew up and I am mature enough to take care of my parents. As I grew up, there were less communication between me and my family and I refused to travel with my parents. But this time, it changes me a lot and improves the relationship between us. This photo records the change in my family and my growth. As we can seen from the photo, I am taller than my mother and almost as the same height as my father. I realized that the responsibility of supporting and taking care of family is transferring from my parents to me.
Thanks to this trip, we started to think the matter from different point of view to understand each other. When I felt so depressed I would see this photo, I told myself to be optimistic and never give up because my family would be always proud of me just because I have tried. Although the distance between me and my family is huge, in my life of studying abroad, my family supports me to do anything I want.
Distance means so little when someone means so much.
For last assignment I choose a family portrait as my image as an international student. So this image I made is to express the feeling of lonely, depression and looking forward to stay with family. The background of galaxy and desert delivers the message of vast and hazy. For the details in this image I think everyone would has different thoughts. Personally, my family is like a sun to lead me towards my goal and always support me when I was lonely or in depression although there would be some small contradiction between me and my parents.
Consider the colors, shapes and texture in this image. I drew some irregular shapes in different kinds of blue spreads around the circle which look like a protection, and an orange circle in the middle as a symbol of family with some scarlet triangles and purple curves puncture into the circle. Scarlet triangles symbolize the harshness happened in family and purple waves are more like improvements of relationship.
From this class, I look forward to learn the skills of using tech and software of making images, videos, music and other formats of images. Additionally, I want to learn how to read a image through visual language and convey message from my images. The most important skill I hope I can grasp is to transfer the my emotion and feeling from myself to my images then to the viewers.
