My day began in search of objects that would best suit the fifteen elements of art! It's funny how easy it is to pick up on characteristics when you're conscious of looking for something. It reminded me of when someone talks of a movie or a particular vehicle and then in the next week it comes on seven times or you drive by 100 of them. The most aggravating part was that once I was able to upload them on to my computer I realize that for the first time ever my camera had the date displayed at the bottom right hand corner for each one. The past three hours have been spent cutting and pasting the surrounding area to try to remove anyone from knowing it used to be there! Haha what an evening. My process was very simple. I made a list of each of the elements and went in order until I feel I found a nice variety to represent the elements. Did I mention I had a blast in doing so!! :)
1. Color is a function of light, without which it cannot be seen. What we see as color is light reflected off of a surface that absorbs all of the other colors of light aside from the one that we perceive.
2. The theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues/fascinates me is the whimsical feeling it creates. The idea of cool versus warm colors, how colors across for each other on the color wheel have in time been shown to compliment one another, and the fact that people actually pay money to be told what color they look nice in.
Both of the videos did not work for me. They've been skipping too much for me to make out a word and unfortunately I've taken up to much time today focusing on the photographs I took :( I don't know what else to do. It's not a matter of me not have the correct system to run it on. I've tried three different computers and I have run out of time and options. I apologize. I hope you find the pictures pleasing.

The elements were clearly present in the images you chose to represent them. I loved the photo you used for balance! Those are beautiful! Like you said, it is definitely easier to find these elements around us when we are conciously looking for them.
ReplyDeleteNice job with your photos. I thought you did a good job incorporating the elements and principles. I liked your representation of repetition! Very cute! I also liked the picture you used for texture- she was adorable. Great job!
