Hey, Steve!
For this project, we had to observe and take pictures of the art works at Arnold Hall and identify what design concept they could represent. The following pictures are some of the art work i chose.
For the first picture, I chose scale.
1. scale - a size relationship between two separate objects, such as the relationship between the size of the Statue of Liberty and a human visitor to the monument.
In this piece, you can see scale represented in the relationship of the two men and the mattress they're lying on, which is too big for one of them.
Another perspective can be the relationship of both of the men with each other.
For the second picture, I chose saturation and visual texture.
2. saturation - the purity, chroma, or intensity of a color.
3. visual texture - texture created using multiple marks or through a descriptive simulation of physical texture.
The colors in this piece are very high saturated and intense, which I love. Also, it gives the illusion of a liquid texture, and as if there are air bubbles in it. Within the air bubbles, there is yet another visual texture.
For the third picture, I chose cast shadow.
4. cast shadow - a dark shape that results from placement of an opaque object in the path of a light source.
In this picture, a shadow is being cast on the house by a tree next to it. It also has shadows from its own architecture.
For the last picture, I chose repetition.
5. repetition - the use of the same visual element or effect a number of times in the same composition.
We can see repetition in the woman's face and the border around her.
Although Professor Carson doesn't want us to call it that way, this project felt a lot like a scavenger hunt, which was fun! The only thing I didn't like was that some pieces had no information about them, so I can't credit the artists right now.
