Final Project

 

MY final project was executed in a professional manner, I used a watercolor paper 18″ x 24″, making sure it is clear of smudges and with a clean border frame. I also, used the required materials handle-ling with care, effort and attention to detail.

My design applies basic elements and principles of composition. I used the entire picture plane, there is no negative space. I also, establish a visual flow and a focal point adhering to the rule of thirds. This design has shape, space, color, value, and texture.

The words for my design was Elegant, Geometric Figures, and Texture.  I used purple, because purple represents elegance, I also used circles, triangles, rectangles and squares as geometric figures. Finally for texture, I played with a different designs making sure is smooth and flat but, must important visual.

As for color I use one hue which was blue, I used tint  and shade in order to establish a monochromatic paint.

 

 

 

Exersice 3. Color Studies

 

The color wheel is a chart representing the relationships between colors. Based on a circle showing the colors of the spectrum originally fashioned by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666, the colour wheel he created serves many purposes today. Painters use it to identify colors to mix and designers use it to choose colors that go well together. The classic color wheel shows hues arranged in a circle, connected by lines or shapes. The colors include primary colors (red, yellow, and blue), secondary colors (orange, green, and violet), and tertiary colors (yellow green, blue green, blue violet, red violet, red orange, and yellow orange).Secondary colors are created by mixing primary colors. For example, mixing red and yellow creates orange; mixing yellow and blue creates green.

Project 7. Value Self-Portrait

This project has been executed in a professional manner. I  cut it, glued it, and pasted it in a Bristol board with clean borders. I applied the paints with care, effort, and attention to detail, utilizing Black & white Acrylic paint. I use an 8×10 inch paper, were all the areas in the design were covered with a collage.  This portrait occupies at least 80% of the composition, making sure all the values match the original image. I used all nine (9) distinct values in the composition, establishing a broad value range.  The portrait breaks each value into flat planes and shows no intentional outlines. All shapes and values followed the original image, maintaining the facial proportions to create an illusion of depth.

Project 6. Texture

     This design has been craftsmanship in a professional matter, I used the proper drawing paper,  PITT pens and posted on a Bristol board. I think I used the right materials as I was requested, once again I used the entire picture plane adhering to the rule of thirds. I establish a focal point and a visual flow  I implied the elements of design as: line, shape, space and texture. I also included the principals of organization positive space, contrast, repetition and direction. Also, I used different shapes as circles, rectangles, hatching lines, visual texture and my design emotional content was graceful.

Project 5. Directional Dominance

      This design its been executed in a professional matter, I used a drawing paper “9×12” and posted on a bristol board 14×17. I used the appropriate paper and the PITT pens. My composition utilized the hole picture plane is dynamic with a visual flow and a focal point adhering to the rule of thirds. It has no subject matter it has lines with a strong directional dominance and conflicts. This design has movement, rhythm and a focal point.

Exercise 2. Texture

 

 

Exercise 1. Line System and Value Gradation.

In this exercise we can see how the lines go from light to dark.

Project 4. Shape/Space Composition

     In this project I use 9″x 12″ black Artagain paper, 9″x 12″ drawing paper and I mounted on two 14″x 17″ Bristol board. I executed this project by using three different shapes, like I was supposed to. My black and white shapes contrast one another equally in negative and positive spaces. I  also use shapes 50% black and 50% white creating it a mirror image look with concave and a convex to create a relationship between the two designs . I also use the whole picture plain without having any negative space . There is no subject matter involve in this picture, the shapes creates a very interesting look and imagination not knowing what it could be. Finalizing  on each side with a symmetrical balance were each design is a perfect picture.

Project 3. Variation of Lines

     In this drawing I executed my project in a professional way. I cut it, pasted it and mounted nice and neat without an excess of glue. I use the PITT pens that helped me created three types of lines which are; Dark lines, calm lines and curved lines. Creating this picture I used the hole picture plane creating a visual flow from one point to another using the rule of thirds. My design is abstracted from subject matter, it has interesting elements of design, it has no negative space and it also has a strong sense of space. I think my design establish; contrast, repetition and alignment emphasizing the focal point.

Project 2 . Dynamic Compositions

     Here I created this drawing on a 9″ x 12″ sketch paper and I mounted on a Bristol board 14″ x 17″. I also use different types of  PITT pens drawing fine lines, dark lines and darker lines creating a visual point on the right side down. I emphasized my visual point by darkening the circle, respecting the rule of thirds. My repetition of lines are across from one side to another and also diagonal. I believed I have a lot of negative space which is not good, but I also think that since is my first drawing it could pass.
