Movie time

One of my favorite movies has a type of design that can be so simple and complicated. But in this case it is very simple. The type of design is called Suprematism. This is mentioned in This is when there are shapes that create a picture. It does not necessarily have to be of something but it needs to be eye appealing to make it work. The piece is the movie poster for Kill Bill. It is very simple but it gets your eye because of the bright yellow and the very thick black line.

Always been there

Every day I look on my laptop and didn’t realize that one of my icons on my desktop is actually something that we are going to be studying. In chapter 15, there is a type of design that is called tectonic. Is when a logo, icon, or image is together but not really connected together; like there is a break in between. It is almost like the plates of the earth; together but not really. This image is the Google chrome image. I get to see it everyday. As you can see that the image has the grey space in between the bright colors. It makes it look separated but yet it does look all together as a whole.

Long off but....

Ok I know Christmas is way off but in my famiy and with my boyfriend I have to plan ahead and buy little at a time so that everyone will get a gift.

In chapter 14 Zigzag lines come into play.

Now it is the easiest thing to create during the holidays to create and it is the CHRISTMAS TREE. But in the long run it looks really nice and it is to the point. Now we ALL know when September hits Halloween stuff is out for about a week before Christmas stuff is out. Pretty Crazy if I say so myself. But we something like this at ever Christmas tree farm or shop. It is just the symbol for the tree of that Holiday

New Art Book

My boyfriend took me to Michaels the other day to get some illustration board for a class assignment that was coming up. When we were walking around looking at the different art supplies, we came across a book about painting flowers with acrylic paint (which is what I love to do). Well he bought it for me so I could advance my art work and make it look real good. Well when I was flipping through the art book I came across an analogous colors. Which are opposite colors to create contrast. Which we know as a color wheel. Since we are now on chapter 12 I thought it was the perfect time to put one up. This is the most helpful thing to have or known when making a painting or anything with art. Helps you decide which colors can help darken or maybe lighten. Like for example to darken maybe a green leaf to put in some shading or vains you would use red which is right across from the green. That works with all of the colors on the wheel. I know this art book is going to be very helpful and can not wait to put it to use! Just found it funny that I was reading about analogous colors and there was the wheel in the book =)

Art Nouveau

Since we are going to do an poster or Calendar on Art Nouveau, I was looking online to get some ideas. I came across these to pictures and fell in love with them. Just the grace that these two women have and  the flowing line of the dress or the hair was just amazing. The first one the hair curl is what gets your eye at first. The second one I just love the color and how the artist made the dress wrap around and curve.
