Word Art :D

Our next project we did was called: Word art. This was another project that included a lot of thinking and creativity. What it is, is, you are drawing the word you have chosen but then somehow putting the actual letters inside and hidden in the picture. So this is what we did:

Step 1: We had to choose a good word that wasn't to long or too short so that we could fit all the letters into the picture. And then we sketched it out.

Step 2: After we had go our idea and what we are going to do to make this all work we start re-drawing it but only bigger, so that it can fit onto a large piece of paper where it will be displayed. This was also not a drawing it was done by a collage.

Step 3: After we have cut everything we had drawn out and stuck it into place we glued it to make finish it all up. And there you have it our Word art!

I think this project was a really interesting project to do because, if the drawing is interesting enough for people to look at it. And then even look at it long enough so that they can realize that 'Hey it says (whatever your picture it)' Anyways i just thought it was really cool to have the word hidden in your picture!

Here are some other examples that i have found:

iskins Project Video :)

Here is our video for the iskins project!

Its shows what we thought about the project and what it would look like if we got it printed and stuck onto an itouch. Here is how we made our actual iskin designs:

Step 1: We had to make a draft of 4 different types of designs. They were, funky and my own which would be your own style of design. Elements which would be the 4 elements of nature: water, fire, earth and air. Also Animals which would be somethings to do with animals. And last it wouldbe pollution, which would just be some way of showing pollution.

Step 2: We had to choose one of those 4 designs color it on the draft to test some colors and then copy it onto a bigger piece of paper and color it once again. This would be your final.

Step 3: We would then have to think of tag lines and choose one to go with your iskin. Then you would write you tag line as a title for the poster we are making to help advertise your design.

Step 4: We then put our poster together with the picture of the iskin and our tag line. The aim for this poster was to be able to catch peoples attentions and sell the image of our iskin!

In this project we also had to use the term: HURBE

which stands for

Harmony

Unity

Rhythm

Balance

Emphasis

The parts of HURBE we used in the project were, the balance in the picture with the designs and the colors. We also used Rhythm in the lines and shapes we used. In a way there could also be repetition in the picture if we were repeating the same pattern or shape over and over again. There was a little bit of emphasis in the colors we used to catch peoples eyes.

So here is the video Vanessa & I made together!

Hope you like it! Enjoy! :)

Tessallation's(:

Here in Design art 7 we have been working on a unit called tessellation's. One of the projects we did was a tessellation square. A tessellation is a pattern that is repeated over and over again to make a design. Mrs. Bammi introduced us to a famous math/artist named M.C Escher. In his art he used his math skills for the accuracy in his tessellation's. So our project was that we had to make a tessellation on a folded square and then trace that tessellation onto all four sides of that square. We had to redo these steps until we had at least eight of these tessellation squares. After tracing the squares we had to color them each the same colors so that they then looked exactly the same. lastly we glued them all together so that it looked like it was big design together!

The Scream

The Scream is a famous painting by Edvard Munch. We had to do a picture of something that mad us scream or something that made us feel sad. So we had to draw a picture that was emotional. We drew the picture on na normal piece of paper and then we retraced it onto styrafoam. Once the piece was trasfred to the foam we rolled bright color paints on them. Then rolled them onto a piece of papper and that's whats called a print.
We did this 3 or 4 times in different colors.

If i got a chance to do this project again then i wouldn't do differet prints i would paint it or color it in makers. I would also do a different emotion not a sad, scared or angry emotion.

Upside Down

This is a prject we did upside down. The object of the activity was not to try to draw what you thought but it was but to draw the lines. We drew it upside down because that way we wouldn't try to make it look like "fingers" or make it look like "a head". If you follwed the lines as just lines then yoou would end up wit a good looking man! But if you started to try to draw to make it look like a man then it would end up looking nothing like a man!

My class did thisd last year so i already knew what it was, so I think that i was trying to make it look like a man, and not try to just draw the lines!
In the end we turned our paintings around and everyone was so shocked! We colored the backround but not the man to give it a little effect!

Painting to Reel around the sun

In Visual Exploration we did a project as i already told you, we painted to Music. The music we painted to was called Reel around the sun. We listened to the beat on the music and painted to the music. when it was slow we drew slow a curvy lines and when it was fast we drew straight and jagged lines. After all the lines were finished we listened to the song again and added the colors.

And then we had our painting! What we were trying to do was make our painting as much movment as posible!

What is Visual Exploration 6 up to...?

Hi everyone! My name is Jade Dharmadji. And I am in Visual Exploration 6. We have been looking at some artists that do about the same type of drawing. Simple lines. the paintings were all very lively and had some sort of story to each hand.

 

 What we have been doing...

Our first project was drawing with a continuous line, without lifting our maker off of the paper.

Next we did a picture with very simple lines and colored it in bright blocks of color.

After that we had to  find five things in the room and try to draw them with one continuous line, then we cut them out and glued them onto a black sheet of paper and colored them in with strong colors.

Next project we did was my favorite, we drew to music! The music that we drew to was called Reel Around The Sun. An irish sort of sound. be it was really fun. when there was sort if a soft beat we drew loose lines. And when there was a strong beat we drew big lines and circles. And in the end when you look at the painting you would be able to see the music.

And so that's what I have been doing in Visual Exploration 6.
