Rhythm

  
This is an example of regular rhythm         


  
This is an example of progressive rhythm


   
this is a example of flowing rhythm    

This is my own creation of progressive rhythm



Visual language exercises





Here is a ying-yang symbol i created on illustrator. During this task i was agitated because its very complicated to make but the instructions made it more simple.
























Here is a space experiment made in Illustrator. Even though it seems like an easy task i found it difficult because I'm not used to illustrator and its a lot different than photoshop.







This is four different colour cubes that i made using illustrator. This task i found hard because making the cubes take a lot of patience but it was interesting. I don't like the colours or background i chosen because i think i could have been more creative and chosen more interesting colours.



This is a colour wheel i made using photoshop. I found this task quite easy but it was a good learning experience on the colour wheel.

















This is my bird eating prey creation on illustration. I found this task quite enjoyable because it is my first go on illustration without instructions and i felt it was a task where i can be creative. I do like me picture because of the colours of the cartoon art style.

famous artists ideas and concepts

Edvard Munch:

Edvard munch came up with ideas through emotional pain (of anxiety, emotional suffering, and human vulnerability)."Munch intended for his intense colors, semi-abstraction and mysterious, often open-ended themes to function as symbols of universal significance". I cant use this to come up with ideas because i don't have any emotional pain but i like the style intense colours and semi-abstraction.  




























Andy Warhol: 


Andy warhol got his ideas simply from imagination and his love for american pop culture. I don't particularly like pop art its not my style but i cant really use that to help me because he had a vivid imagination. 



























Gustav Klimt:  


Most of Gustav Klimt's art is of women.He had numerous affairs during his lifetime, even though he already had companion. He had a total of 14 kids, and not all from the same women. Fortunately for him though, this never came out during his lifetime, and he was able to avoid public scandals. I don't think i cant use this because my project has to be a 20 second animation and cant really use women. 

































Edward Hopper:
"Painting did not come easily to Edward Hopper. Each canvas represented a long, morose gestation spent in solitary thought. There were no sweeping brushstrokes from a fevered hand, no electrifying eurekas. He considered, discarded and pared down ideas for months before he squeezed even a drop of paint onto his palette". So ideas didn't come easy to Edward Hooper he just took his time to think, i cant use this technique because this is a college project i am doing and i haven't got that much time. 
American painter and critic Guy Pène du Bois, once wrote that "Hopper told me...that it had taken him years to bring himself into the painting of a cloud in the sky"  




















dave devrise:   

Dave devrise has came up with the brilliant idea of taking drawings of what children have done and making them more realistic because a child's imagination is amazing. I really like this technique i will love to try it out, i think it will be a very good project to look into. Dave Devrise said I project a child’s drawing with an opaque projector, faithfully tracing each line. Applying a combination of logic and instinct, I then paint the image as realistically as I can".  





    
























David Whitlam:
David Whitlam is a surrealist artist. His work basically begins with pencil drawings, created straight from his imagination using a technique known as automatic drawing which is spontaneous and largely unconscious sketches produced in a trance-like state. These ‘automatic’ images are then gradually refined and developed, eventually becoming digital image or oil paintings.

presentation design task

Today the task was to come up with an idea through windows 9, but the idea had to convince people to stop going on the same sites all the time(Facebook, YouTube etc) and look at less popular ones; but also link to the physical world.

I personally found this task very difficult, i didn't really understand the brief properly but enough to get on with it. My idea was good but i lacked on linking it to the physical world. I have learnt to try and concentrate and bring out my overactive imagination. I think that the way to address this problem is to focus more and stop panicking about the future(presentation).

I think that the point of this task was to help us on our presentation skills and coming up with ideas. But also developing my writing and talking skills for presentations and thinking about what I'm going to say before hand.
