For this assignment,
This is the place to put the link to your learning portfolio post. Your post should include:
- Iteration 1: Isolate one of the key elements of your visual design vocabulary. Using that key element, draw something you see.
- Iteration 2: Find two of your classmates drawings that also exemplify the key element you chose to highlight in your drawing. Photograph all three drawings and write a few words about the element you chose and how the drawings all embody your element.
- Iteration 3: Create a layout using all three drawings, your written text, and your visual vocabulary to guide you.
- Your response to the following question:
Does it help you further define your visual vocabulary when you isolate similar elements in the work of others? Why or why not?
Iteration #1
For this iteration, I chose an object and drew it based on my visual vocabulary. I want my visual vocabulary to focus on elements of texture, line, and pointillism. It somewhat introduces these elements, but I want to make it the primary elements within my vocabulary.
-
- Iteration #1
As you can see, the image I created displays pointillism, texture, and line. Some other elements seen are depth and form. In relation to my classmates elements,
Iteration #2
For this iteration, I chose two other visual vocabulary drawings by my classmates that relate to my drawing iteration based on my visual vocabulary.
-
- Iteration #2 Maria
-
- Iteration #2 Urvika
My two classmates Urvika and Maria utilized texture and line in their work. I appreciated the texture Maria created that looks similarly to the texture of wood, but on to the form of a water bottle. It makes me wonder what about texture influenced her design of this element. In reality, the water bottle has contrasting solid colors – purple, blue and yellow – but in this image you cannot see any of the smooth texture and color. Color is another aspect that I considered using more in my visual vocabulary, but sometimes I find that a piece is stronger without color added, it can distract from the piece itself at times. With my work I often utilize texture, layers, and depth which I view in the various lines thicknesses and the space of ink and negative space.
