What Constitutes a Silhouette...

[ken1953]

Hi Payn...I think we all just got shot down by your definitions. While reading them, I found this meaning. I highlighted it for emphasis. I guess we are wrong!!! hehe

"The noun silhouette has 2 meanings:
Meaning #1: an outline of a solid object (as cast by its shadow)
Meaning #2: a drawing of the outline of an object; filled in with some uniform color."

Awww... I didn't mean it like that.

That was simply an academic POV. However, academic does not always make art. The photo project is a chance for us all to show our interpretation of a subject/object/theme, etc. Noone is really wrong in that case. For example, who is to say that Baptists are right, and Mormons wrong. Same story, different interpretations. The best art, IMO is made when rules are broken. You probably get tired of me talking of VanGogh, but the gallery his brother worked in only allowed his work to be shown in the backroom because it was absurd. Recently, some of that absurd work sold for 20-something million dollars....
