Assignment 8: Greyscale - Free Composition


For this assignment I chose to use a photograph that I took and tried to recreate it with the paint chips.

    First of all I'd like to say wow someone actually did something representational. (Nothing against those who went abstract. I went abstract lol) You did a great job of representing those figures. I give you props for cutting out that basketball net. Your craft overall is really good. I even enjoy the separation between tiles (they feel intentional).

    Yess I was thinking the same thing, I actually like the fact that you can tell they're cut-offs. It kinda looks like if someone did an animation using paper tiles and they took a screenshot.

    This is great! The way you placed the tiles gives the composition a lot of movement, like what Rachel said, it almost looks like a still in a stop motion animation. And the attention you gave to the figures and especially the hands is well appreciated.

    This is really good, the craftsmanship is great, my only suggestion is watch where you place certain tiles because it kind of creates a distortion in the right area by the net, but other than that you have created something so different and it's pretty well done.

    SLAY ME OSCAR. THIS IS REALLY WELL DONEEEEEEEEEEEE.
    craft - A+
    Creativity - +

    Likeminded to me, I also used an image to make my composition. I know how you feel. We both see the same way. I can't say anything more to this but just, really well done.
    (I know this isn't probably helpful but yes)

    The net cut out is a plus for me, craftsmanship over is excellent in this piece. I do agree with Cassandra about the right corner but love the gradient background. Bravo

    First, I would just like to say that I absolutely love your photograph. I think you did a great job in paying attention to the detail of the figures and I like how you decided to include several dark values so that there's depth. It doesn't just become a black blob in the bottom center. However, I think the tiles toward the top right are a little distracting because they aren't aligned with the rest of the squares and I can't tell if that was intentional.

Creative Impulse: Readings - The White Bird

      In the article  John Berger talks about a man-made bird, that is mysterious in a sense because it is not known how it's truly made. but still, has a sense of natural beauty because of its simplicity. worked with a kind of love that makes it become more than just a bird. a  white bird which now provoke an aesthetic emotion. he goes into further detail comparing it to outside nature and art.      After doing some research and finding the bird, it makes you respect the craftsmanship it takes to make something like this. I see how this could be compared to the beauty of nature and art. also when talking about nature and art he states " Art does not imitate nature, it imitates a creation" which I feel that was perfectly said because I feel that nature is all around us, it's everywhere. so its nature that we see around us that gives us our inspiration to actually create. you can't help but agree with his word about art at the end

CAM Raleigh: Ornament and Pattern

     This article was very informative, it gave me more ideas for the smalls works, which I really needed. She talks about past generations and traditions, along with background history of patterns and ornaments. She goes into detail about how the simplest patterns on paper can become a building or some sort of structure. I feel the pictures in the article were a great help as well. letting you see the thought process of some of the patterns and ornaments. Like the delftware pattern in the bread or the logotype for the Brooklyn Museum, I thought those were great.      I think this article is very helpful for our current small works and in-depth project. It gave me an understanding that even if I feel I have nothing, I still can build something from it, just like free play of the imagination.
