08/27/10 Reading Summary

Composition is an organization of ideas/parts that equal a whole. 

This applies to all kinds of art, not just the visual aspects. To create a composition an artist must utilize certain elements. Such as: point, line, space, shape, texture, color/hue, and also principles, such as: rhythm, balance, harmony, emphasis, unity, and scale. Gestalt theory is explained as having four basic parts; all playing a role in the way our brain organizes and analyzes works of art.

Closure
Continuance
Proximity
Similarity

Clay Character Model and Critique

 
My character was named Krusty the Kross-Joint. I really wanted to get the shape and twisting forms of rolled joints in a cross shape. When adding his face, such as his eyes and 5 o'clock shadow, I wanted him to convey a kind of laid back feeling. Yet I also wanted to capture a sense of eagerness as well. He turned out ok, minor cracking aside.  

Hybrid Symbol and Stencils

















Stencils and cardboard with them sprayed on. The photo that was used included my nose and three different bell pepper photos. The shadows and darker areas were colored in black and joined to make it one whole symbol. Cut out with exacto then sprayed over a red t-shirt in black and on cardboard in white.

Hybrid Mash-ups!

These are my five best photo mash-ups that I had chosen to complete my symbol. The one closest to the bottom will most likely get used because of the way the pepper matches with my nose.

Bill's Writing Assignment

a. This photo was taken by myself at a Christmas party with friends. It was taken because I wanted to capture this a hilarious realization. 
b. I think this picture is funny. 
c. This is intended for viewing by anyone who might think a dude in a diaper is funny. Anyone who has been drunk at a party can relate.

a. I believe Geoffrey took this picture. I think he was trying to get a picture with my eyes open more? Not sure though, I forgot.
b. I'm not sure how he feels about this picture. I guess I should ask him. I'm sure he would say that I look foreign or old...or maybe just funny.
c. This is just a funny photo. I use it as a profile picture, I see it as a perfect representation of my "look" at that time.

a. This was a photo grabbed off of an awesome skydiving blog. I guess this guy's parachute is about to fly open?
b. Not sure.
c. This picture is intended for fellow skydivers and I guess people who are interested in seeing what these guys are up to.
