P1 Scale Observation

These selections illustrate the use of scale in art. The first scene uses scale to assist the images expansive feel. The next two portraits are made up of smaller individual pieces that can be broken down and viewed separately as a whole.

P1 Transparency Observation

These observations for transparency come from an angel watercolor which explores the possibility for transparency as medium, and a art exhibition that uses transparency to add to an ethereal, nostalgic feeling.

P1 Time Observation

The light artwork of Bill Bell deals with his light rod invention. This light rod plays with the different frequencies of light and how the eye captures them. The art work only exists in the split second the viewer looks away. A basic image will appear in your peripheral.

A link to his website with some great example of time based art.

P1 Hierarchy/Scale assignment

This project I choose the 14th amendment to express my opinion on the article. I thought that it was overly wordy and repetitive like most legal documents. I decided to concentrate the hierarchy on summarizing this lengthy amendment. In my hierarchy I wanted the xiv to be seen first so the viewer can identify the amendment, next the summary in bold blue, then the italicized smart-ass comments I found imbedded in the body text. The rest of the body type is distorted to the point of illegibility.

P1 Texture Assignment

The texture I choice to illustrate through type was guacamole. This texture proved difficult because of the extremely organic and irregular nature of the surface. To help with this problem I choose to use the typeface Giddy-up because of it's soft curves an random counter sizes. The final effect is a gestural representation of the original image. The energy and fluidity does seem to be to similar to water but the overall organic and irregular feeling of from the image certainly does come through.
