Here are the main players of Design I with Heather plus Heather. Started from painting brush strokes now we here and done. We all went through alot of hardships in this class but everybody made a lit effort. Thank you guys! You guys made this awesome
I didn’t realize the ipod still had the camera protector on it and I was confused on why everything felt so unclear?Â
I know nobody goes on this blog anymore but it’s nice to have memories of this class since its almost coming to an end. I miss you Ariana! I hope youre doing good!
Critique day! I’m gonna say that all of the class cried and struggled to get their stuff done. If you were one of the peeps that didn’t then you have stress levels of steel.Â
I have a teeny slice of hope that I will sorta finish all the stuff due but I would rather have a pizza slice.Â
PAUL MADONNA,Close Enough for the Angels, Tokyo, Piss Alley, 2010-2011
Created with pen & Ink on watercolor paper, this piece was very successful in conveying detail, values, and perspective. There is a subtle transition from the dark corners to the very bright whites of the lights with the amount of values used. There doesn’t seem to be a value emphasis on anything in the image since there is a usage balance of values that there is no presence of solid black or solid white. However, the values give off a mysterious, eerie, lonely feeling. It makes me feel nostalgic in a way even though I have never encountered a moment like this. I can imagine the smells and noises that would happen on this corner. The variations of foods tempting me, the metallic cold air that results from the rain, and the buzzing of the lights attempting to stay lit. This piece reminds me of the film Spirited Away because there is one scene where the protagonist encounters a unknown Japanese street full of vendors and restaurants.  There’s an implied texture on the wet street since the artist was able to add a soggy and reflective effect in the puddle on a flat piece of paper. How they used values to suggest space was by using aerial perspective.  Everything becomes foggy and less dark in the back than in the front where everything is dark and contoured. Some other devices they used to show depth was by using size, overlapping, multi-point perspective. Everything in the front is bigger and more visually intricate in detail than those in the back. With the location being at a tight street corner, it’s obvious there would be some overlapping of objects especially with the signs, and windows. All the buildings don’t meet at a common vanishing point and seem to go their way in the composition which doesn’t make a one or two point perspective.Â
Vocabulary (Chapter 9,10,12)
Pattern-Repetition of elements
How do we create visual interest-Humans have the desire to fill empty space in creating a interesting visual. Patterns are a way to create something repeating but still create something interesting. Applying texture by contrasting qualities to the surface when we touch it.
Actual Tactile Texture- textures that can be felt with the sense of touch
Implied Texture- when something looks like it could be 3-dimensional texture but it is on a flat surface
How are both texture and pattern similar, and how do they differ from each other? They are similar in a way by having repeating designs but texture’s variations don’t have perfect regularity. Texture can be first identified by just touch but patterns are first seen in a photograph. Texture involves more 3 dimensional elements such as surface’s glossiness or shadows.
Collage- bringing together pieces of colored and texture papers, cloth or other materials and pasting them to create one visual image
Trompe L’oeil-”to fool the eye’’ objects in the image trick the viewer to think it’s realistic but in reality texture, color, etc are all created with tedious careÂ
List Some devices to show depth,and explain how they function- The usage of size allows the closest object to be bigger than the farthest, which is smaller. overlapping creates a clear indication of which objects are in front by covering more of the objects which are in the back. Vertical location,elevation in the image indicates a recession into depth, has the furthest objects placed near the top of the image like layering the objects. Aerial perspective depends on the appearance of object’s detail and value.If the object is further back then it will sink into the atmosphere and appear less detailed and less contoured while it is opposite for objects close. Plan elevation perspective,mostly used for architectural use, allows the viewer to see the object in different views so they can get a better understanding of the placement of features. Linear perspective is a imaginary tool is which receding parallel lines meet at the vanishing point which is on the horizon line. One point perspective is continuation of linear perspective by having all the lines converge towards the one point on the horizon line in deciding the size of te objects. Two point perspective is when the lines recede to two points on the horizon line making the objects more at an angle. Multi-point perspective is when all the objects have their own set of vanishing points so they’re not parallel to each other.
What is Isometric projection?- Mainly used in engineering and mechanical drawings, this type of drawing doesn’t use elements of foreshortening or converge lines. It still conveys space and 3-d elements in the image. There is no vanishing points so the lines remain parallelÂ
Equivocal space- the ambiguity of placement between objects because of their transparent quality
Value-Â the light and dark of something
Value emphasis- Provided high contrast on the focal point while everywhere else is subduedÂ
Value to suggest space- Using an technique called aerial perspective, having far off objects become absorbed back into the atmosphere and less detail. The objects in the front should have more emphasis on detail and value.

Since our assignments are close to being due, I thought it would be helpful to do more visual research. We’re supposed to convey different visual elements in both our digital and fire/water panels such as gradual transition, ebb and flow, depth, etc. I thought the first image remind me of a anthropomorphic since the two dots are the eyes, the rectangle on the bottom is the mouth, and the diagonal line that goes against the other lines looks like the nose. The second image shows depth by having the radial the deepest/farthest part with it being dark and then expanding in many directions. The third images shows great usage with asymmetrical balance since everything seems to be concentrated on the right but then theres more space and room to breath between the lines on the left.
You have to know how to use the accident, how to recognize it, how to control it, and ways to eliminate it so that the whole surface looks felt and born all at once
Helen Frankenthaler
People always say the only way you’ll grow is if you learn from your mistakes. Frankenthaler takes that saying and goes more in depth of what you should be doing with your mistakes. You have to learn to accept accidents happen for you to understand more of what you’re capable of doing. You have to learn to take hold on what it is you wish to do with yourself when an accident does happen. The end result wont look like what you thought of in your head and accepting that is important.
sadly I dont’t have works in progress since i felt like I did nothing but fall off a chair. However, I have alottttt of pics of heather and the rest of the cast in our classroom

This week I decided to focus on photography and the element of fire since i focused on water last time. All these images have the warm pungent red as their color schemes in their photographs. Then there’s some slivers of yellow and oranges if you study the colors closely. I particularly like the architecture of the image on the right because it uses sharp shapes like triangles that I associate with fire. It also has a low ceiling which take up most of the space just like how fire takes the air in an room. The middle image has the contrast with the night blue and illuminating red work very well together to create a satisfying aesthetic. The left image has a majority of vertical lines in which is the way fire is mostly seen.
Whether I'm painting or not, I have this overweening interest in humanity. Even if I'm not working, I'm still analyzing people
Alice Neel
I have a close relation to this quote because everyday I see new people and its interesting. I’m on the train for a quite a while so I study people’s behavior even though it’s creepy. I study how they sit, what they’re doing, and etc. I try to regularly do figure drawings of people while I’m commuting and it’s important to be able to capture the personality of the person even though you don’t know them. I always think in the back of my mind that all these people have complex backstories and that adds to my interest in analyzing them.Â
It looks pretty lit so far!

The amount of shapes and space allows this piece to be balanced and easy for the viewer. Even though its showing asymmetrical balance, the shapes and color allow the focal point to be in the middle. Even though the shapes are probably supposed to represent surfboards, it comes off more to like separated scattered petals which makes it biomorphic. There are some parts that are rectilinear in the petal-like shapes but it’s also curvilinear on the sides as well. The overall color in this piece seems pretty destaurated but I think the little pieces of colors are supposed to symbolize the colorful bathing suits. The negative space in this image is the gray outside the shapes with the parts of color occupying the positive space
