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.
Assignment 1: Image Analysis, Deconstruction and Reconstruction
The picture I chose is a add by Ralph Lauren that's advertising a lady's fragrance. This picture has design elements of line because the 2 people are hanging diagonally from the swing. Colors from black, gray, white, I would say more cool colors then warm because there's no real variation of color is the photo. Value, there's defiantly lightness & darkness. Lightness from the sky in the background & darkness that happens from the clouds & trees from the top of the page & bottom. I would say there's texture from the hair they way it's being blown in the wind & from the rope the way it's tied & how some parts are thinker then some parts. Space, this is in the distance between the 2 people in the foreground & the trees & sky in the back. I would say there are some patterns from the rope & the nots. The leaves at the top the way they're going in a downward fashion. Contrast from the viewpoint on the trees at the ...
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).
ReplyDeleteYess 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.
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteYour idea is different and executed smoothly, Your style is diverse and clean. good job
ReplyDeleteSLAY ME OSCAR. THIS IS REALLY WELL DONEEEEEEEEEEEE.
ReplyDeletecraft - A+
Creativity - +
OUTCOME - A+
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
ReplyDeleteFirst, 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.
ReplyDeleteI'm so damn shook from this. This is so damn clever it has so much movement in this great job.
ReplyDeleteThis is quite a piece,as I squint my eyes I see the same moment captured in the photo.Impressive job!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the grey swatches and incredible cutting of the paper.
