assignment four

my three dimensional composition made in form z

In this composition, the colors are different variations on the yellowish green color, with exception of the blue. The transparent objects allow the shapes behind them to come through creating a sense of depth and progression. The first green box dominates the foreground, the yellow tall boxes occupy the middleground, with the solid grey/blue boxes in the background. The strongest point of contrast/the most visual interest is the area with the grey/blue boxes. The shaded sides of the boxes against the light background create a sharp jagged edge. Also the shadows from the transparent boxes carry across the ground plane and help lead the eye to the lower left corner. The tall yellow boxes are a similar value to the grey yellow background, and the dark elements of the composition occupy the lower area of the frame, anchoring the composition. The piece also has a certain rhythm and repition with the yellow and green boxes aligned along the left, but have a subtle visual interest when looking though the green boxes and seeing the varied cutouts. Lastly, the repeated shapes, similar color palette, and repeated squares of the blue help add unity to the piece.

assignment three

i created these images using code by using the sketchbook examples off of the processing program (www.processing.org) On the first box i altered the shapes and made them green.

Using my green-making skills, I changed the background on the second one and added a variable so the circles only appear when the mouse is held down. and then i drew the mouse.

assignment two

the design generator i used can be found at http://www.thisclass.com/arch_390/15_design_composition/

This particular scheme is my favorite. The composition can essentially be divided in half between the light and dark halves. It is symmetrical horizontally, but not vertically. The colors stick to one family, working in shades and tints of the orange red color. It can also be read as a progression from black to the full color, with a shade variation in between. The main emphasis is on the horizontal. However, there are some subtler elements in the scheme that add visual interest. Instead of progressing simply from dark to light, there is a thinner band of the color with a slightly darker shade on top of it. Also, the grey bar in the corner is a neutral and not a part of the color, instead being a tint of the black. The grey bar takes up a little bit more than half the width, making creating a asymmetrical balance. It helps lead your eye up to a second floating box, the only part of the composition not anchored to at least one edge. The box is the same with as the bar and in a slightly lighter shade of the maroon color. Your eye continues upward to a third box, again of the same width as the other two, at the top of the page. This box is of the lightest color in the composition and also the only element oriented vertically, adding interest. The two halves mimic a horizon line. The black bar reads as the deepest area, with the orange bar reading as it is coming off the page more. The grey bar also bites out of the black, making it appear to be more figural than just a bar, making the area of interest.

assignment one

A blur diagram of eight different book covers featuring Mies Van der Rohe and his works start to reveal the use of the grid. It can be seen as a general theme as the different buildings are overlapped, but also in the general structure of the book covers. The composition is essentially divided into four quadrants.

A composite image of two photos from the Barcelona Pavillion by Mies Van der Rohe begin to display the play of shadow and light. The long angular planes are also revealed and their interaction makes them appear to slide over the image.

A blur diagram of six different cities subway map show the use of forty five degree angles and the density in the center.
