My view on design

Ways to view design. We need to look at design in different angles. Expanding our view will open new windows ways can help our audience see other approaches in art. This is a photo I took last week of my rooster with close up to show his face!!!

Emphasis and focal point
I chose my focal point emphasis on a favorite of mine Pablo Picasso. This is named the
The old Guitarist  for the obvious reason. I view many many images but this seem to fit the
psychological much better. The old man sitting on the steps gets us the feeling about aging.Having the gray and dark olive give the deep feeling of sadness and losing hope. He seems to be falling down low as he wants use to see him as a aging man that is still playing to keep alive. Colors play a role in how we see the psychological ole with our emotions on art and life.







Absence of focal point
This was my pick for Absence of focal point as we see in this image the line all cross each other and our eyes really don't have a place to focus onto to. This was done by Larionov Mikhail in 1913 and is called"Rayonist Composition. It is a watercolor on paper. 









 Placement

This image really shows placement in how each object works with each other in placement.  The tree and the two humans looking through the 3/4 of a box in the water. This one really caught my eye into how each object was place so nicely.  This is a fantasy image with no artist mentioned.








      One Element
This image is the Sun Tunnels which time thought it showed the one element of focal point pretty well in how the in tunnel guided the eye towards the center faster than the bigger tunnel. My eye seems to want to draw towards the light more than size. This came out of a graphic book called LAND ART. The element really shows hows an element can really play in a focal point.

Contrast
This in my image of contrast for the fact that the trees and the snow reflect from each other and the moose seperates the colors between each other. The snow falling off the moose really gives me an impression of movement and back to nature.
Isolation
This picture was taken by. I really think this picture really shows isolation. The ball pit has the two kids watching the teacher engaged with the toy, while the other boy is kind of bored spaced out the window. The boy at the windows is showing separation from the group very nicely. I like how the three kids make a nice triangle with their placement but the boy standing gives some separation from the others.
