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. 
Pattern- 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-  The unity drawing shows the floor that look connected through similar shapes and spacing. Everything works together as one whole, making the design feel complete. 

Variety- The variety drawing includes different shapes and details from the ceiling within the same grid. Where it shows different shapes of lights

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...
