 I had a little bit of trouble grasping the idea of Avant-Garde this round and finding a photo that would represent my idea of what Avant-Garde is. I chose this photo on the basis of thinking artistically, a photo that portrays not only beauty, uniqueness but a deeper meaning also. In this photo I see that there is certainly a story going on: a hint of sadness, vulnerability and breaking down. But I also see uniqueness and beauty in my look and dress. |

Beth: I'm not sure with your photo this week, Sarah.. I didn't connect with your face this week. And the dress was just too safe and 'normal' for Avant Garde. I like the chair, though..

Anna: This is the third week in a row you're laying down...have you broken your leg or something my dear? My favorite thing about this photo is the broken chair, I think it's fascinating, and it really makes me want to know the story behind it. You, however, are rather lackluster I'm afraid. The dress is boring (considering the theme), and your expression (soft and lovely as it is) and slicked back hair aren't adding anything either. I do think that black and white can work well for avant-garde, but in this case, it only emphasizes the simplicity and vapid nature of the shot.

Amanda: I like this. I don't love it, but I can see the art and innocence here. It just isn't over-the-top enough for avant-garde. This photo intrigues me a LOT - I too want to know the story behind it. I really love your expression, and the hair sort of works and makes me even more curious, but again, that's not totally avant-garde from how I'm being forced to see it. Despite that, this is a beautiful photo, and you'll get points from me for that alone  |

Joan: This isn’t so bad, I like the dress. The broken chair adds something different about this photo. I think the pose is alright but like Anna said this is the third time in a row we see you lying down. Change it up a bit but don’t forget to produce a good photo as well. I think overall you did good but not amazing.
