  1. OPTIC Photo Analysis

  2. OPTIC • It’s an acronym and a method for analyzing images! • Overview • Parts • Title • Images/Interrelationships • Conclusion

  3. The Holocaust Memorial Center presents a series of paintings by Samuel Pruchno, a survivor of the Holocaust. The image above is a detail from Mr. Pruchno’s“Roll Call,” when the Nazi captors would demand a physical accounting of each inmate.

  4. Overview • Describe what you see: write one sentence describing anything recognizable and its purpose in the visual. Include information about the category (painting, photograph, poster, advertisement, etc), the period (era) of the setting, and anything that is occurring. • EX: The painting above portrays the physical roll call which would occur frequently in the concentration camps during WWII; individuals would be made to stand in straight lines for any given length of time while everyone was accounted for.

  5. PARTS

  6. TItle “Roll Call,” taken by Samuel Pruchno, a survivor of the Holocaust. The image above is a detail from Mr. Pruchno’s“Roll Call,” when the Nazi captors would demand a physical accounting of each inmate.

  7. Images/Interrelationships Determine the relationships between parts. What are the relationships between the images? In other words, how the parts are related, both to one another and the image as a whole. Consider how the parts come together to create a mood or convey an idea or argument.

  8. Conclusion • Write a conclusion paragraphabout the image as a whole: think about what the artist, photographer, creator, or designer might be trying to capture and convey, and what ideas, arguments, or implications this image presents. • EX: As a survivor of the Holocaust himself, Samuel Pruchno manages to portray one of the most commonly referred to instances of life in a concentration camp: the roll call. Prisoners would be awoken at any hour of the morning/night and lined up in straight, uniform lines, such as those depicted in the painting. Inmates would remain in an erect position for as long as it took SS guards to physically account for all bodies, dead or alive. Barbed wire fences surrounded the perimeter of the prison yard to prevent prisoners from escape.
