'Wrong' By John Baldessari.
John Baldessari is a famous contemporary artist. He is sometimes referred to as the Father of Art. He sometimes uses photography in his work, often images that he has found and changed in some way. This video is a great introduction to his work and ideas.
Mr Nicholls showed us one particular image by the artist entitled 'Wrong'. We were asked to look carefully at the image and suggest why we thought it was given the title 'Wrong'.
This is what i thought...

These are some of their comments people made:

I chose this picture because i really loved the way it looks completely normal,until you have a close look.When you have a close look you will realise the angle is crooked, there is part of a thumb in the corner, as well as a ipod.
Also there is a key thing, there is not a full picture. |
Mr Nicholls set us a task to go out and take what we think as 'wrong' pictures.I took this task on board and gave all my thoughts ideas and interpretation and effort,Here are some of my images that i interpret as 'wrong'.I chose random photos so people could get different prospectives of 'wrong'.
Analysis...This is a really 'wrong' picture because it is blury because it is a close up.Also it has a large shadow across the picture which makes this a key example in my opinion of a 'wrong' picture.

However peoples opinions differ, this means that what i think about these pictures could be completely different to what someone else thinks.So what i think is a rubbish 'wrong' picture could be a master piece to someone else.
