Project 1:

Elements of Art at Home- Describing what you see

Lines 

These are lines in the floor created by pouring concrete.

Texture

This is the wall outside Walker. The texture was created when they stuccoed the wall.

Space

 The lid to the trash can creates a 3d space in which air can move and items can fit.

Shape

Although it is a 3d object the outline of the window frame is a rectangle.

Emphasis

When looking at this picture my eyes are drawn towards the middle spartans sign which stands out as the emphasis of the picture. 

Balance

When they built the building it created balance on both sides with an equal number of trees and windows on each side.  

Movement 

Your eyes follow the top ridge and then move down the tall pillars to create movement in the picture. 

Harmony

As the hallway progress the balance of frames and carpet designs create harmony to the overall flow of the hallway. 

Proportion

When looking at the first light it appears to be really big but as your eyes move down the lights appear to get smaller in proportion. 

Rhythm 

The swooping arches create rhythm that pulls the eye along them. 

Unity 

As this multimedia waterfall brings all these elements together it creates a unity between all of them. 

Color

Although this book doesn't offer every color it demonstrates a few colors. 

Variety

Sykes Chapel uses a variety of shapes and 3d forms to create this wonderful building.

Point of View: Cigarette

The flames around the edge represent the burning cigarette, and the circular shape is used to portray the shape of a cigarette. The smoke and the placement of her lighter is used to suggest that she is smoking. The black around the edge is used to indicate the ash inside cigarettes.

Project 10: Final Group Project

Process

We met as a group and did some brainstorming on what we all seem to have in common. The result of our devising was the Italian delicacy, pizza.  This became our theme and this is because not only do we all like the dish but also a pizza is usually made with eight slices, this was pivotal to our project especially since we had to address eight different aspects and categories to the final project.

           

Synopsis

            For the final project we chose point of view aspect, in this category we made use of the fisheye lens to give the perspective of somebody being delivered a pizza. Next was the double entendre section, where we exploited pictures of pizza made in the shape of the mathematical symbol, pie. With the multi frame department, the act of making a pizza was caught in three frames. The framing of the image category happened to be overlapping in our other sections due to the fact that each picture used was edited and cropped to display what we wanted. Next was the symbol aspect of the project, in this dimension we created a picture of a pizza decorated with pepperonis in the shape of a marijuana leaf.  We used this iconic leaf because it is much more than a representation for drugs but rather a modern day symbol for youth and recreation. In the life and death segment, we decided to stick with our theme therefore we illustrated a prepared pizza ready for consumption and on the other hand a devoured pizza signified by the crust left in the box. Lastly, in the sound portion, we made use of a vintage traditional Italian song to strengthen our piece as well as give it a sense familiarity and harmony.
