Space: I picked this picture/scene because is a good use of space. The vertical and horizontal lines bring the picture together, creating unity, and filling the area. The chair being the focal point, the other squares and rectangles just build around it.

Economy: this scene has economy because all that is really in it is the cross on the side of a blank wall – it is very simple, but still provides all necessary information. Anyone can look at this and despite it being sparse, know that this is a place of Christian worship of some kind, and that is the beauty of economy; not much is needed for the viewer to get the main idea. I chose this building because I thought it was a very good example of economy, it only needs one (small in comparison to the rest of the wall) cross to deliver the whole message.

Space

I chose this picture because it shows perspective an space. It is very simplified and not to bust. this allows the eye to flow to the center. I love how there is so much depth.

Volume

I chose this picture because when i think of volume i think of items that hold things. I took a picture of my cup because it is a good container and represents more volume than mass.

Variety

This is a good example of variety because of the interesting types of skulls that are laid out in the picture. The different bone structures are very interesting and make a unique composition.

Space

This object is a good representation of space because you can see the internal figure surrounded by another figure that you can see through spaces. The spaces on the surrounding figure give a unique sense of space within and around the object.

Homework #1

Emphasis

In this photograph, emphasis is used to draw attention to a focal point by using color, and by the lack of color in the surrounding space. This was created by using a simple process in photoshop by subtracting color from the areas in the image to draw attention to the vibrant guitar body. 

Balance

Balance is achieved on this beautifully organized futon by placing corresponding pieces on each end of photograph. I play guitar left handed, and my roommate plays guitar right handed, so this created for an exact mirror image. Add to the mix a couple of throw pillows and I made myself an interior designer.

Repetition (Rhythm) 
Repetition can be accomplished in many different ways, this example of a parking garage exemplifies repetition of the same square shaped windows evenly spreading across the different layers of the deck. There is sequence in the appearance that allows the eye to move from right to left, up and down, etc. in a symmetrical pattern.

Economy

This Mac computer keyboard is an example the economy-type design for it's simplicity. Whenever I think of "economy" Apple products are the first to come to mind. The color is specifically white, rather than patterned or colored, and the typeface is simple and clean.

Homework #1

Volume is an enclosed area of three-dimensional space.  This woven cedar basket holds volume.  It has a narrow rectangular opening and holds its shape due to the tightly interwoven long rectangular strips of cedar bark.  It is a more intimate volumetric shape meant for small items.

Mass is a solid three-dimensional form.  This stack of parking blocks creates an interesting massive design.  The parking block on the far left is teetering on the edge. The placement of the small mass of rebar wired together on the far right, bring the piece into balance.  This piece has strong vertical and horizontal lines and triangles created by the stacking of the individual blocks.

Homework Project 1

1. Actual Line: Actual lines can connect, define, or divide a design. My example, a dreamcatcher, show actual lines connecting with one another to create its core design. Without this connection, a dreamcatcher would not even look the same. The actual lines of this object are what creates the beauty, and it holds the symbolism of a net catching nightmares.

2. Implied Line: Implied lines are created mentally rather than physically. This example, a BLT sandwich, has implied lines in its center. The layers of the sandwich undulate and change, making them hard to differentiate, but when viewing it, one can see the overall horizontal quality of the lines.
