Throwback!

Going back before the midterm, I really love how this one came out. It would probably look really good in color!

My Thoughts!

This week we are starting something new and hopefully it will be better than the last project. I struggled somewhat with the fire and water and non-objective projects. Now I feel like I have a better understanding of everything, so now it shouldn't be so hard for me to catch on to certain things now. Wish me luck!

Some pieces of artwork by Beatriz Milhazes. These are my favorite ones!

Critique Pic

Picture taken after my critique last week. I could've done better but I'm satisfied with my work!

My Thoughts

I think I did a pretty good job on the critique last week. I'm so happy it's over because that was a lot of work and kind of stressful.

Digital Compositions

My 3 digitally non objective compositions.

My Thoughts!

Working on all my work for the critique on October 11th. It's a lot of hard work but I think I'll be fine. I really like how my "Fire & Water Panel" is coming along and my classmates panels are absolutely great. Can't wait to see all of our pieces at once!!!!! ;)

Definitely want these in my house lol!

NYC Assignment

Gustave Moreau
"Oedipus and the Sphinx, 1864

I thought I took a picture of the caption but unfortunately I didn't.

These two paintings from the Metropolitan Museum in New York City, are completely different from each other because of a few things. One thing that separates them are the colors. In "Oedipus and the Sphinx", the colors to me seem very dull, light only comes about from their skin, but the background is rather plain. In the second piece the colors used are bright. The most obvious difference between the two paintings is the subject matter. In the first paintings it seems to me to very mystical and not realistic. In the second piece it seems to be a war going on and is very much realistic. I think what makes them similar is the fact that they incorporated animals, even though in the first painting its half animal half man. I also think that the second piece is more detailed than the first.

Chapter 5/8

1.Balance is the way that elements are arranged in a piece. Imbalanced work is when elements are not balance.

2.Horizontal goes from right to left or left to right. Vertical goes from top to bottom or bottom to top.

3.Symmetrical  balance is an object organized so that one side duplicates or mirrors, the other.

4.Asymmetrical balance is when both sides of the central axis are identical, but seem to leave the same visual weight.

5.Radial balance is is when all the elements circle out from the central focus point.

7. Shapes are elements of art. Mass and Volume describe 3 dimensional objects.

8. Naturalism is when elements are as precise as possible. Distortion is when an element is twisted or bent out of shape.

Chapter 8

1. Non-Objective is when things in the artwork have no object or specific subject matter.

2. Curvilinear is an element composed of curves

3. Rectilinear is when the elements edges have a sharp contrast.

4. Positive and Negative shapes is an effect thats caused due to the arrangement of the format.

Chapter 10

1. Three ways to depict illusion of depth is size, abstract shapes, and exaggerated scale.

2. One Point Perspective is a single point on the horizon lines.

3.  Two Point Perspective there are two points where lines connect.

4.Isometric Projection lines do not recede to the vanishing points.

5.Equivocal Space is is when elements overlap each other.

example of equivocal space

The artwork that I chose is by Ilya Zomb. In this piece he keeps the naturalism of the animals , people and nature. He doesn't change the way they look by distorted them. You see some curvilinear elements within the elephants body. Everything is being balanced on mainly on the rocks, but they also balance off each other as well. The elephant balances on the stick and the women balances off the stick on the elephants.
