Vocabulary:
What we are looking at:
- Composition (placement of visual elements in 2d space...positive & negative space, rule of thirds)
- Image - subject matter
- Line
- Shape
- Form
- Value
- Space; Positive & Negative
- Color
- Texture
- Scale
- Rhythm
- Balance
- Dominance & Emphasis
- Proportion
- Gradation
- Harmony
- Variety
- Movement
Each of these elements becomes a "signifier" to the viewer. Which means from these visual elements we will try to make sense of the image.
Critique Project 2
Making images for project 3
* This is an exploration project. You want to try many different types of images and pick the one that has the best chance of working on the c-n-c router and is the most interesting and aesthetically pleasing. Ultimately we are limited to a 1/16" line and a solid black and white image. Line drawings work great, photo realism not so much.
You can create the imagery for this project in various ways:
1. You can use Adobe Photoshop and alter images you photograph or find online. Take a look at the "Threshold" adjustment.
2. You can draw an image and translate using Adobe Capture CC. If you do this mark out a 6x6" square and draw using a traditional Sharpie.
3. Use Adobe Capture CC and the "shape" tool to create and image.
-If you are only using Adobe Capture you will need to try photographing lots of different subject matter under various lighting conditions.
