    PICImage Analysis

    WHAT?

    With sight being the strongest of the five senses in understanding one’s environment, images have a way of
    universally moving people and communicating ideas that nothing else can beat. Images, whether it is art,
    photography, charts or graphs, or advertisements, can be easily and complexly understood by everyone
    regardless of many things that are usually barriers, like culture and language.

    WHY?
    Abigail Alice Lisser
    All images, historical or modern, can be much more deeply understood and appreciated for their content when
    examined through just a few careful lenses. Analyzing the story behind the artifact is where true human
    understanding occurs, allowing us to make better choices going into the future.

    PURPOSE
    Every image is created to DO something specific, so the purpose of an image always begins with
    a specific action verb.
    Too generic of verbs that DON’T express an image’s purpose:
    demonstrate explain illustrate inform persuade show tell
    Common action verbs that DO express an image’s thoughtful and unique purpose:
    Share a new idea: introduce outline propose suggest
    Share a positive message: compliment celebrate excite inspire honor praise recognize sympathize
    Share a negative message:
    apologize challenge criticize demand disagree discourage enrage expose threaten warn
    Connect with an idea: compare connect contrast echo question reflect wonder

    INCLUDED DETAILS
    A piece of art certainly, but also often photographs contains details that are absolutely deliberate
    inclusions to help tell the story and create image’s the purpose and message.
    Details to LOOK for:
    Background and foreground space: secondary action or object that may or may not be known or seen by the
    subject
    Negative space: empty or open areas
    Color: warm/cool tones, vibrant/faded, single colors, dark/light shades
    Objects: evidence to give a deeper backstory into the scene
    Sensory: evidence to convey the smell, sound, feel, motion of the scene
    Perspective: looking up/down, distinct vantage point, from viewpoint other than 5 ½ feet off the ground
    Scale: overly enlarged or minimized elements

    CONTEXTUALIZATION
    Just like how every primary document has an active, specific purpose for its creation, it also was
    created in response to and within certain circumstances of specific social, political, and/or
    economic events.
    Connections to MAKE to an image:
    Before / after: has a major related event just happened or on the verge of happening? Is it well after or before a
    major related event?
    During: is a related event or trend well underway with no end in sight?
    Shift: is there a slow general change occurring that’s related?
