Waking up early this morning I realized that that we were not supposed to use white.
I then remembered the the 4 had white in it. So this is a second version with out the white 4.

I love riding bikes and this cause I have seen before and think it is a great idea. People in other parts of the world rely on bikes for every day life. They sometimes are more valuable than cars. I made this on photoshop.

Ink Negative space guitar on a chair 

Small part chair and guitar
Inside guitar


 This is a collage of all the parts put together.


I found this very challenging  to draw from the negative space. I did a couple different ones but these are the ones I found most appealing.

This was a challenge but once I got going it made more sense.
I decided to use the human body for my senses. Since everyday it is a place where  we sense so much.   I felt humans can display so many senses.














Lots of hands with out them we would not know how to visualize what we feel. Visually we would not know what soft looked like with out having had touched something soft  We would not know what rough would look like if we had not touched something rough so the hands are where it all begins.

Positive and Negative Utensils

Juggler
The wine cork has always reminded me of a person so I chose to use that as a focal point and work out from there. Was not so sure about this project but in the end I found it challenging and also fun.















 This I found a little more challenging I rearranged many time to get this bizarre but kind of pleasing image. Volcano?????

SWEET
I am on a bee kick from my last class and project. So I just started to cut and paste in photoshop. I have limited knowledge so It took me way to long. The large out of scale bee was to bee the focal point and I just went out from there with things that I thought related to honey and bees. I like the color it gives off many warm tones. The unity is the relationship of the items to the bee......
Absence of a focal point is when your eye is not drawn to any one particular thing in the art. This piece is great without a focal point it sweeps your eye across the entire image.














Contrast focal point is when the focal point is in drastic contrast to the rest of the image. Here the Black shadow outside the window is unlike anything else in the scene. The colors are happy yellow, reds and purples. Matise uses the tree on the wall to support the shadow in the window drawing your attention even closer. I like this painting because I know if I painted and image and added a big black blob to the window I would think that would not work. But seeing this makes you think about how different concepts can really change the meaning or the look of a work for the better.

Isolation is where the focal point isolated all by it's self. You cant really see anything else in the photo it's a little blurry. The girl is the only visible focal point. She seems to be looking right at us. 


Only one focal point. This house or church is the only focal point in the picture its off center to the field and sky. The color draws you in as it is in contrast to everything else. 










Placement of the focal point. The small pumpkin is set way to the right of the other pumpkins. It would not be the focal point if it looked similar to the other pumpkins. This one hangs from a string and seems to have two pumpkins grown together. The unusualness of this pumpkin draws us to where ever it would be on the painting. Also because it is different we tend to go and look at the other pumpkins to see the differences which directs your eye  around the painting

Grid as an organizing factor
This funny enough I found on a website about aliens this is supposedly Qulian DNA.
Either way the Grid pattern creates a nice design with many visual references.


chaotic, unreadable image




This is a chaotic piece that is supposed to represent a city. The only way you would know that would be by the title the author gave it  "City scape"



No objective expression of unity
This has no objective except shapes color and balance to make a pleasing
 design to the eye.
I had  a hard time understanding the concept of this. 


Figurative expression of unity

Lots of shapes, color,words make up the make the entire image. It makes sese of the design in a not so traditional way.

Continuation

I Like this as an example because the inside lines of the watermelon seem to contiune in an endless state. I also like the continuation from the index finger on the edge of the melon.

Proximity

Proximity: This image shows you have have the images (shapes) all in proximity of one another it creates this fish. If the shapes were placed all over the place it would not help us to see the design.
Repetition (emphasis on variety)
Found this on the internet on a random blog. I think it is done with beads?
It did not say. I love the circle shape and colors. Each tin is the same shape 
with a different design emphasizing repetition with variety to each tin.

UNITY / Week 2

Repetition (emphasis on similarity)
This a picture I had from the yoga training I went to. There were around 200 people in this room but as you can see the rows of people seem to go on for ever. Creating repetition with similarity in the yoga posture they are doing. I love the grid pattern of the lights and ceiling as well as the mats and towels beneath their feet.

Ideal 2 dimension design

I am always drawn to simple art that evokes a feeling.  I love the expression on the womans face. I think it could mean many things to many diffrent people.  It is a simple portrait but says a lot.  I love Art and am not all that great at it but hopefully that will change as I go through these design and website classes.
