Hans-Christian Schink

Hans-Christian Schink

Hans-Christian Schink was born in 1961 in Erfurt, Germany. His father was a teacher in a university of Art and Art history. Schink studied photography at the Leipzig Academy of Visual Arts from 1986 to 1991. From then till 1993 he was a master student in the Academy. His main ideas came from transportation which is man made like the image bellow.

Representation of relationships

The relationship I can see in this image would be the relationship between man and land, this is because the bridge is a man made object made to help man move around, this bridge that was made would of had to had the land beneath destroyed to have it built.

Formal Elements

The formal elements used lines this is due to the numerous amount of lines involved in this image, another element used in this image would be shape, this is due to the amount of shapes involved in this image. I would say colour would play a part in this image also. If you look to the top of the bridge you can see the texture of the concrete

Compositional Elements

The compositional element of leading lines has a part in this image as the bridge creates a place for your eyes to follow, pattern also has a part as if you look closely the bridge has a pattern from the texture.

Critique

This image a good image, I would only criticize that it lacks in element, I feel like the image would be stronger if it had more elements used.

Representation of relationship

Similar to the above image the relationship in this image would be of man and land, again this is due to column being from a bridge maybe.

Formal Elements

The formal elements used in this image are ones such as line this is due to the lines used in this image, shape is also used in this image, this is because of the shape of the column and the shape that the side gaps have created. The element of texture is also used, this is on the column itself. 

Compositional Elements

The compositional elements used in this image are ones such as leading lines, the leading lines have been used in this image on the column, there is also a small amount of symmetry used in this image where the hill like thing is behind the column. Another element used in this image is pattern, the pattern is on the column if you look close enough there are lines going up.

Critique

The image is a strong image, I would of liked it better if the top of the columns where it joins the bridge was not visible.

Representation of relationships

The relationship in this image is the same as the images above, this is because the relationship is of man and land.

Formal Elements

The elements used in this image are very similar to the other images, this image has lines, they are on the columns and the bridge itself but also on the floor. There is also shapes involved in this image, this is again on the columns and the spaces to the side and in between. Texture is also used in this image again on the columns.

Compositional Elements

The compositional elements in this image similar to the formal elements are similar to the other images they are ones such as leading lines, pattern and also symmetry.

Critique

This image is a nice image, but what would make it stronger would be if the centre of the columns were lines up down the middle.
