The artwork above demonstrates the use of Repetition in design. Repetition is the intentional reuse of elements like shape, size, color, texture, direction, position, space and gravity. In simple word, if we use the same form more than once in a design, we use it in repetition. This artwork has been organized within a 4x3 grid structure, outlined by a thick dark border. Each of the nine squares contains a different abstract pattern or element. Six squares feature large circles with various shading and internal lines. Four squares are filled with intersection of straight black lines. Other two of them feature abstract shapes solid black background. 

However, even though all of these boxes shows different designs, they demonstrate the use of Repetition of elements in the artwork. The most apparent form of Repetition is twelve-panel grid. Each of grid shows same size, position and structure, supporting the repetition of size, space, and position. The Circles are repetition of shape, appearing in all the corner boxes and the middle column. These circles also share repetition of texture. Boxes on top and bottom middle reflects the repetition of position, shape, space, and texture. The other four boxes reflects the intersection of lines through repetition of texture. The entire artwork represents the repetition of black, gray, and white color. The most challenging thing in this artwork was to maintain the use of repetition.

Interrelationship of Forms

       Detachment In Detachment  forms remain separate from each other although they may be very close together. This artwork  shows detachment through the physical separation of one object from the others.  A single, vertical block is shown floating in the air, completely separated from the two rows of horizontal blocks below it.  There are no lines, shadows, or other visual cues connecting the top block to the others.  Other eleven small boxes also are separated from each other. Shadows were used in all boxes to show them separated from each other. The artwork was very easy to draw and I didn't feel any difficulties.                                                          Touching  Touching is when   we move the two forms closer, they begin to touch. The continuo...

Metropolitan Museum of Art Field Trip

Two of artworks that I saw on MET museum field trip are Terracotta Lekythos and Offering Bearer .  The Terracotta Lekythos is an ancient Greek vessel used for storing oil, often placed in tombs as offerings to the dead. It is made from terracotta, a type of fired clay that was widely used in Greek pottery. The artists shaped the vase on a potter’s wheel, then painted it with a fine slip that turned black when fired in a kiln under specific conditions. This process is part of the “black-figure” technique common in Greek pottery. This process involved painting the background black and leaving the figures in the natural red-orange color of the clay. In class, we’ve explored how art elements of design, this vase reflects the curved outlines of the decorative patterns around the neck and base create rhythm and movement of line .   Shape and plane  appear in how the flat painted figures are arranged on the rounded surfaces of the vase, giving the illusion of depth on a curved...

Exploring the Elements of Design

  Composition - composition is putting things together. These windows are arranged together with same shapes and colors. Contrast - White boards are the examples of contrast where two colors, white and gray are strategically used to create visual interest.  Balance - The black tiles represent balance of visual weights of color, shape, and texture. Emphasis- The only printer on the desk with a lot of computers suggests emphasis with drawing viewer's eye to it. Proportion - The clock with the surface behind it shows proportion where the clock  fits naturally within the frame, demonstrating correct size relationships.  Pat tern -  This drawing of a book shelf repeats similar shapes or sections in an organised way. The repetition creates a recognisable pattern.  Rhythm -  The rhythm drawing of same desks uses repeated shapes spaced evenly, creating a sense of movement. The eye flows from one shape to the next, similar to a visual beat or rhythm. Unity - ...
