Pattern and Texture

Here is my texture and grayscale project for this week. Here is what I used for textures and patterns from left to right, top to bottom:

1) An old patterned seat cushion ( thinkin like 1970's...lol )
2) Carpet padding
3) My laptop/messenger bag
4) Paper shavings used for packing
5) A pillow case cover
6) A piece of carpet
7) Christmas wrapping paper
8) A pair of camo shorts
9) Crinkled aluminum foil
10) A bandana
11) A leopard pattern bed spread
12) A wash cloth
13) The top of a "designer" gift box
14) Bubblewrap
15) Crumbled piece of construction paper

The grayscale was a bit tricky because sometimes the paaterns or textures appeared light or darker when I kept switching them around. Still not 100% sure I got it correct ?!?!

Shape / Volume Week 9 Project

For this weeks project I used a chair with 3 swords in different positions. I found this project to be pretty fun and it was interesting in figuring out the different ways of changing the image to expose the negative in black adn the positive in all white.

Idealistic Shapes

I really like this image as an example of idealistic. It portrays a sense of how we may perceive a sense of perfection. The shape of her body and in my opinion even the pose gives a sense of how we may interpret idealism. You dont see any imperfections on the skin and even the hair style looks to have been styled.

Nonobjective Shapes

I thisnk this image is a good example of nonobjective shapes, because the image itself doesnt really give a definitive representation of anything. There is no real expression of a theme or what the artist was trying to portray. You can see very random obhects in the image such as a guitar, a bowl of fruit, and something that looks like a chess piece.

Abstract Shapes

We understand abstract to be a distortion of something "real". This image is an example of abstract shapes. In the lower left corner you can see what appears to be a distorted face. I can also see what looks to me like a sort of tower with a beaming light on the right of the image.

Naturalistic Shapes

In this image, this object to me has a clear depiction of a naturalistic shape. It represents something that appears to be "visually real" even though it is only a representation of mushrooms growing in nature.

Curvilinear Shapes

This image is a strong interpretation of curvilinear shapes. It has that "natural" look and the use of flowing and curving lines.

Rectilinear Shapes

I chose this image for rectilinear because after doing a little research I found that a particular artist, Piet Mondrian, did alot of artowork using rectilinear shapes. This is an example of his work. As you can see the image clearly defines use of straight lines which is very typical with rectilinear shapes.

This weeks project was interesting and fun. The hardest part of the project was thinking of how to display emotions with line and my perception of how I would interpret how to "draw" and emotion. I think this is a matter of how each person may perceive a way to describe an emotion. For example, I used line to create a cross, which to me depicts Jesus's unconditional love towards humans and showing that love by giving his own life for us. I also used a pattern which resembles a hear pattern which is a pretty common display of love that many people relate to.

Rhythm...Round 2 !!

This is my revised Rhythm project. I had a really hard time trying to figure this one out and even when I thought I had it..apparently not..hehehehe So, this is my second attempt at the project and I hope I got a better idea of what was required. I got some really interesting points from my fellow classmates and from Sarah.
