Assignment 3 - Light Intensity

Assignment 3 - Light Intensity

With this third assignment we were to develop visual sensitivity to value. I think after completing it I am better able to distinguish lighter and darker values even if they are close to one another. I did struggle at first with this assignment when it came to constructing the light intensity gradient. It was hard to wrap my mind around cutting pieces of different shapes and sizes to fit in that 2.5 inch by 3.5 inch square.

I ended up being more fond of my end product of my application of light and intensity gradient. I changed the design a little bit but only to create a greater sense of closure and overlap. My hope is that it still stands out as a good design.

And finally here is my quick formative exercise for this assignment.

Assignment 2 - Occult Balance

This assignment took a TON of time to complete but at the end of it I feel I am better versed in the vocabulary and concepts that are needed for the rest of this class. There were ten formative exercises that focused on certain concepts while moving shapes around a field and had me snap roughly thirty pictures each. To view these I have posted the links to my Dropbox folders for under the correlating formative exercise.
In both my designs in which I tried to make as different from each other I focused on the concepts of tension (overlap), fracture and figure ground. Also making sure to bring unity, variety, emphasis and focal point into my pieces as well.
While making this final piece I feel as it was a bit easier crafting it than my last assignment. For example, this time around I managed to get rid of all the left over rubber cement. I am more excited about shapes since starting this project!
