Ambiguous Space Project

Monica Contreras
The class continued working on their final projects yesterday. Today will be a studio day as well. Tomorrow is a non-work day. We will critique the final projects and take our quiz.

TEXTURE: Actual, Simulated and Invented

Image
Gianna Davy Last Friday the class made an image consisting of actual, simulated and invented textures. The objective was to explore traditional and experimental applications of painting and collage materials. Gianna's painting above illustrates torn pieces of paper glued and painted in the upper left corner, drawing into wet paint (center, right, top), stamping with plant forms (center, right, bottom), stenciling with tape in the lower left and various applications of paint from thick to thin just to name a few.

LINE: Line Dynamics

Image
Taylor Ruffin The objective of the day was to create the illusion of space by means of line drawings. We discussed cropping, symmetry vs. asymmetry and the distal cues (see tabs above for more info). Generally speaking the most dynamic compositions include diagonals and curved lines. Taylor's drawing above exhibits a curving central axis of discs moving away from the viewer and then back. The horizontal parallel lines establish the ground plane converging towards the horizon line. In addition, she has made the ground plane (foreground) a lighter value and the sky (background) darker.

SHAPE: Expansion of the Square

Image
Lindsay Cole Last Friday, the class began creating designs addressing the element Shape . Working a 5x5 in. piece of paper, students cut symmetrical designs with the objective of establishing a rhythm around a single dominant shape. Notice the difference between the two collages above. The central triangle on the left is clearly visible. Whereas in the right collage the corners are cropped allowing the two diamond shapes to dominate. Linda Job Linda has created a very dynamic design with many repeating elements which establish a strong rhythm and movement around the central area. Notice in all of the designs the square is still present. Juliana Cheplick  In the afternoon, the class made asymmetrical designs. Again the objective was to create a rhythm around a single dominant shape while maintaining the integrity of the square. Juliana's design has a very strong movement by repeating and multiplying lines as well as changing scale. Kimberly Perez Kimberly's collage has strong li...
