FACS 113 ~ Introduction to 2D design
"An introduction to visual thinking as well as the elements and principles of design. Concentration of the elements of design through production of artwork using a variety of materials and methods. Emphasis placed on understanding the elements and principles of design and how they integrate to form fully realized works of art."
Rendering assignment
The assignment task us to render two floor plans; one with an analogous color scheme and the other with complementary colors. We could use any medium, I chose colored pencil. For the complementary I used tints and shades of orange and blue. For analogous I chose to use tints and shades of red orange and yellow. We were encouraged to find real patterns and furniture for the floor plans and I was very satisfied with the lamp shades, rugs, and patterns I discovered.
Group project
For our group project we were tasked with creating a design for the Family And Consumer Sciences department using photoshop. We all contributed different parts to the project and learned a lot about photoshop from it. To show balance and symmetry we applied roughly the same amount of objects on each side and added text parallel to each other on all four sides. We also wanted it to display elements of each major and they were all placed on a drafting table
Scale
This assignment shows the same fabric placed on the same arm chair but drawn in different scales. The first one is drawn in 1/2 inch scale and the second in drawn in 1/4 inch scale.
Balance and Symmetry
Using one of the three primary colors we were tasked with creating 3D shapes and patterns that show one or more type of balance. To show balance I placed four origami cubes equally on the foam core. Using a monochromatic I repeated this in four different tints with emphasis on the single cube in the darkest shade in the center to show value change. This utilized symmetry in its spacing; but asymmetry in the direction it’s angled at. It also can be seen as radial balance as all the cubes do surround one cube in the center.
Value
Using different levels of pressure graphite pencils these cubes were filled out to show value change between the sections of the cubes. What's interesting about this project is that depending on the angle it's viewed at it can look pointed or inverted.
Implied line
Humans are prone to fill out objects even if there aren't definitive lines. This assignment gave us the opportunities to use dashes, dots, hash marks etc. to draw a chair showing all the shadows and curves without the use of lines.
