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.

HW 1 Audrey Boyle

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.
 

Homework 1 (2 best images)





 Implied Line

I noticed a few pills on the counter and saw that the pills had fallen in a linear fashion. I found the bottle and grabbed the pills and set up this shot. I arranged the image to move from corner to corner in a diagonal line. I set it up on a clean black background to emphasize the white and the line it would make.


               

Actual Line 

I chose this image for actual line because almost every part of it is made up of lines. Each blind is a line, the shadow being cast creates two more lines, the space between the two blinds are a line, the rod is a line, and the vertical strings make lines. The entire composition consists of lines.

Laura's Photo Homework #1

Repetition/Rhythm: this show repetition and rhythm by the mirrors showing multiple views of the joints as well as the person in the photo.


Space: This photo is an example of space. You can see the people close in the foreground and the stands far away in the background.
