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!!!

Scale and Proportion














        


This is my project I came up with. First of all I don't like spiders but love the water and boats. This is the Harbor by Backbay in Boston, Ma. I came up with this idea by think about movies and unwanted huge insects. Hope you enjoy this and felt this showed the very large size compared to the small humans we are even in a big city atmosphere!!!

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.

 WEEK ON UNITY



 Chaos 
 This image really gave the feeling if chaos where my eyes just don't know where to start.. Unreadable and too much going on at once but cool image too.






Repetition
This image is Repetition with similarity  as the bubbles repeat itself through out the image. It is really cool as the bubbles change color through out the design.




Continuation
This is a fine example of continuation flows from the hand to the cuff drawing making a nice flowing circle that just keep my eye moving. The transition from the  hand to pencil to paper is so wonderful. M.C Escher is just so artistic with his mind and connecting these line so wonderful.





         FIGURATIVE
This is a image of nonobjective work in the way that this has no reference to the natural world. The masks with the hand represent a face of humans but shows some expression but no relevance of an actual realism to what we see in the natural world.




 PROXIMITY
This is my find of an image fro proximity. This shows the closeness of objects with in a close distance of the puzzle pieces. I chose the puzzle pieces cause it really shows how we all fit together in this world to inter twine together.

Here is one of my other projects I did which shows how in design give us depth to our art.
