Motion - Blurred Lines

In this screen shot of two race cars, we can see how the use of blurred lines can create the sense of motion. The cars appear to be moving quickly around the track because all around the actual cars, everything else is blurred and the track seems to “streak”. Even the tires are blurred giving further implication of the cars moving.

Motion - cropped image

In this image of an advertisement for Nike running shoes, you can see the use of a cropped image to give a sense of motion in the picture.  The positioning/posture of the legs give a strong visualization that the person is running. The front foot and leg is further cropped to give a further and stronger sense of the person running off the image.

Motion - multiple images

This image is an example of usage of multiple images to show motion. In this example of dancer, Patricia McBride, you see a sequence of different, overlapping  poses and a slight change in the position of the body, particularly the arms and legs. This visual effect implies a strong sense of motion.

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.
