different views of my finished cardboard project.

Here are different views of my cardboard sculpture! It is about the evolution of technology. The pile of old junk computer gear, represents outdated technology. The cardboard mice fleeing away from the old technology, represent advanced technology.

Tyler Patterson - HW 2 Photos

I took a walk around the back lot of Kmart last week, this area has a lot of very pragmatic industrial elements and is visually a quite harsh and unappealing environment, but also crawling with strange and surprising examples of texture, light, and other elements of design. I thought this was an interesting example of texture. It involves both natural (moss) and manmade elements (asphalt) -I find the dynamic of growth vs. decay particularly interesting. 

Another from the Kmart lot... This industrial safety light fixture cold and still, glowing orange against the grey sky I thought to be a haunting presence.

Color and Light:

I decided to incorporate BOTH color and light. Using a fiberoptic lamp in a dark room, I had my friend spin the light in a violent circle to create this orb of blue light. It creates this fantastic sense of awe, leading the viewer to wonder what exactly is creating the image. This photo is made successful through the several colors of blue emitted from the light as well as the use of light itself to create a form.

Variety:

When I think of variety I think of a series of random objects. But instead this photo contains all the same subject matter. What I found interesting about this photo as an example of variety was the fact that the placement of each bird in the sky is different and the way in which they are flying doesn’t have much order but rather varies across.

HW1 Space

Space 

Inside this slide, children slip through and enjoy the round, curving cylinder of space.  Between the light and dark variation of values and the rings that shrink in perspective, this image defines the abstract idea of the area.  While space is a difficult notion to grasp when creating sculptures, this object of playground equipment successfully defines the concept.

Economy

The idea with economy is to use only the amount of material that is absolutely necessary.  This small clay pitcher was pinched at the top so that forming a handle for pouring would not waste extra clay.  By using less material, the potter created an efficient form with successful function and less wasted clay. 

Hw 1: 3D-Basic Principles Pictures

Volume: This swan is a decoration of the International Meditation Center in front of the apartments where I live. I think this swan is good example of volume because the shadows around the shape give a smooth contour that represent the illusion of space in this sculpture.

Repetition:  This picture is a bunch of metal chairs that were stacked in a vertical way. I really like this picture because it represents a nice way one can find repetition/rhythm everywhere one goes. The way in which the chairs are stacked gives a sense of smoothness in the whole composition.

Economy- I chose to photograph my camelbak because it reminded me of the example we talked about in class with Adam's daughter's sippy cup. The camel bak is a very simple form to look at yet it as so many advantages. There are two layers of plastic that help to insulate the drink. The spout fits comfortably into a notch that also serves as a hook to attach for easy carrying. The water bottle seems like such a simplistic item but there is a great deal of thought that still goes into the construction of it. This is one of my favorite photographs because I enjoy how the lighting turned out to emphasize the form. 

Space- I chose to photograph this bird cage because I believe it is a great example of positive and negative space. Plus the angle of the camera helps to make the negative space more interesting than if you were just looking at the cage straight on. 

Homework 1 - Ben Osborne

Repetition

The representation of repetition is depicted with bottle tops that go on soda cans.  The tops fill up the entire composition which gives the feeling that they extend beyond the photo and  continue to repeat.  

Time

I tried to depict time with this multiple exposure image of a girl doing a hairflip.  The movement of the hair and the the multiple layers add to the feeling of a change in time.

Rebecca's Homework 1

  This represents actual line well because of the multiple, (and literal), lines converging. I like how the lights create vertical lines as-well.

This is one of my favorite images because of the great texture on the sheep, and the texture surrounding it.
