Strawberry Festival Poster Research

Posted: February 7, 2013 in Classwork

These are some Strawberry Festival posters I found. I like the ideas behind some of the posters, like a strawberry swimsuit or strawberry flowers. I like how a lot of them look painted as well.

Favorite Color

Posted: August 27, 2012 in Classwork

My favorite color is blue. I love blue because it is a very calming color to look at. Most shades of blue aren’t too bright or too dark to look at, and it seems like a nice pleasant color in between. Image

Facebook rumors: Fact vs. fiction

Posted: October 3, 2011 in Classwork

1. Do you have a facebook account? Yes

2. If you had to pay for it would you keep the account? No

3. Have you ever heard of frictionless sharing? Not until I read this article, and not really sure how I feel about it.

4. What do  you think of the timeline addition to facebook? I don’t really mind the idea, but I can see why people disapprove.

5. Did you know what Spotify was before you read this article? No

Elements and Principles of Design

Posted: September 9, 2011 in Classwork

Line: The linear marks made with a pen or brush or the edge created when two shapes meet.

Shape: A self contained defined area of geometric or organic form. A positive shape in a painting automatically creates a negative shape.

Direction: All lines have direction – Horizontal, vertical or oblique.

Size: Simply the relationship of the area occupied by one shape to that of another.

Texture: The surface quality of a shape – Rough, smooth, soft, hard, glossy etc. Texture can be physical or visual.

Color: Also called Hue.

Value: The lightness or darkness of a color. Value is also called tone.

Balance: Similar to balance in physics. A large shape close to the center can be balanced with a small shape close to the edge. A large light toned shape will be balanced by a small dark toned shape.

Gradation: Color from warm to cool and tone from dark to light produce aerial perspective.

Repetition: Repeating an image with some variation.

Contrast: The juxtaposition of opposing elements. Ex: red/blue, light/dark, and horizontal/vertical.

Harmony: Visually satisfying effect of combining similar, related elements.

Dominance: Gives a painting intrest, counteracting confusion and monotony.

Unity: Relating the design elements to the idea being expressed in a painting reinforces the principal of unity.
