I found this project quite interesting and challenging. I began my process by simply trying to notice things around my everyday world that fit one of the items. For example, I took the picture for the element "Lines" while I waited in the train station to go Downtown. I just happened to be standing there when I saw how all of the lines just popped out. I tried doing the photos in order, so that I didn't miss anything, but I found some were more difficult to do that with. I struggled more with the Principles than the elements, though I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because the elements seem more straightforward; they are either there or not. The principles are more abstract; left up to the viewer's interpretation. The item that gave me the most difficulty was emphasis. I just couldn't come up with something in my everyday life that was specifically emphasized, so I went with something that I thought could work. I hope you enjoy the album I put together, I know I enjoyed making it!

I like how you (with the exception of the first slide of line) used things/ objects around your house. To me I used everyday objects that I see in my and outside of my household which made me have to think outside of the box for some elements and principles rather than just walking around having things constantly jump out at me. It also made me have a deeper meaning of the elements and principles and also expand my knowledge about this topic learning how to appreciate my everyday surroundings and have a better understanding for creativity. Great job!
ReplyDeleteSo I really like some of those pictures. You've done a very, very good job of showing the principle/element you tried to convey. For some of them, I didn't quite agree - I could see where you were going but I don't think I really agreed with what you picked.
ReplyDeleteYou found emphasis the hardest; that one was kinda easy for me. Now proportion gave me trouble!
