to do...

tools and skills

For Wednesday you must have (at least) the layout of the Chao Praya partition and distribution between yourselves.

I liked the sketch you made in studio... Follow it or follow the one made in Aj Lara's group :

Best would be to know at which scale you are working on.

For Monday redo your colour "not-wheel", make up your own geometry, follow existing figures (triangles, pentagons, hexagons, etc.) or inspired by existing arrangements and patterns (such as Islamic patterns).

You can even make it in 3D... as Johannes Itten did.

And for those we would like to push further their understanding of the physical properties of light and colours, have a look at metamaterial cloaking...

studio


. The A0 layout (portrait or landscape) should be adapted to your table (you can change the direction of elements and principles as fits you better).

. All words should be defined BY YOU and written on the board.

. Give a title to your work (it can be a word, a sentence, a combination of words etc.)

. Make up your own language for the diagrams - be consistent and be an explorator.
You will learn more by taking risks than by staying with the obvious...

. You should bring your studies and other sketches made during the development of the short project.

. Who has my books?? please bring them on Wednesday...


GOOD LUCK

advice please

i did add some of the principle, like untidy, interfere (both are negative).

and the picture that i post of the top is representing untidy/ form....  actually i want advice for this diagram. after i edit the diagram, it didnt look untidy and even cleaner).

all of my diagram are shown in black and white, i dont want to use color in showing my diagram because 

i dont see the point and meaning in color. i saw some people using different color and there is no meaning in it, so i involve. 

jane's work

my theme is the wedding's decoration and the environment

it was very challenging, because i only have a limited time to capture all the picture.

the program was only like a hour, so i need to be fast to capture those element and principle

and this is some of the example that i got today, sorry i just came back (the post might be a bit late)from the southern.

the diagram part is that the final yet (i just too show example), tonight i will try to edit the picture and the diagram.

Mew's work

Foreground 

Dominance in the picture 

 Hatred 
dislike someone or something.

Diagram

This diagram is represent the real feeling of her in the picture though the drawing of her face expression and color. The smile fail to tell the viewer the real feeling to one another in the original picture. I used the color from the psychology research in a form of human aura.  

Credit Progress

These are the photos i took these are from the view from the train, and as you can see from the first and second photos i've decided to take more photos of people and the direction they are paying attention to in each place. 

boy's progress

 "door" is what i chose because it is something that involves in every building and place and also a very strong and powerful object that controls humans' movement and the circulation of space in the building. I took pictures of several types of door and I'm currently working on the diagrams.

Palm's progress

Dear Aj Camille'e

Here are some of the photos I took for the project, I shifted my theme a little bit as I wanted to include more architectural structures so I chose to take the pictures at my local garden centre. I feel like this will add more varieties to my work as well as making it more interesting to see some of the gardening tools, the space of the garden centre building and of course, the various plants species within the space.

the images.........

Dears,


As you know the project is an analysis of places, things, phenomenons, etc. through photography.
An image and a photography in particular always fails to tell the truth (which is why it is such an interesting art form and such a manipulative weapon....). Thus you cannot be naive into thinking that it portrays reality.
But precisely because we know it, we can allow ourselves to be dupe... and push the medium to its limits.


Therefore

- every single picture has to be consciously composed

- blurs, traces of movement, extreme close-ups, phenomenons only visible by using photography, ... , are greatly encouraged

- photographs which are lying about the subject they pretend to capture are also much welcomed

- you have to decide on appropriate lens, lighting, position, angle of view, etc. and detail it on your presentation

and...


- the diagrams have to take this fact into account - they have to talk about the photo also and not only about the subject taken (the diagrams are very important in this exercise and you are completely free to develop your own language according to your skills, the theme you are working on and the words you chose so please start developing this language now and post your attempts on the blog for comments

- as much as you can make up your own words for elements and principles (the words could be found, or invented, or made up form 2 or more existing words...) and define them YOURSELF (no dictionary definition). Be creative and rigorous in this process.



For the final presentation, you will have to present the process of finding your theme/idea, developing your photographic experiments and translation into diagrams.


Bring your A0 on Monday.

ps :
a reference for those working on inventories... (and a beautiful reference in general)
the photographic work of Bernd and Hilla Becher

water towers

gravelplants

tall furnaces

and an interesting revisit of their work by artist Idris Khan

(superposition of all images from a series)

welcome (and first references)

Welcome to the blog.

As mentioned in previous email, this will from now on be our main communication device...
Please start posting!

For wednesday, i really encourage you to coin your own terms and definitions for elements and principles.
...for example it could be interesting to study the principles of ugliness, bad taste, anomaly, etc.
The two list are open and this is where your creativity and reaction should begin to flourish..!


I mentioned a reference for Jaa yesterday - on zooming in/zooming out
Powers of 10 - by Charles and Ray Eames

and some references for Palm - on the growth of plants (and its geometrical/mathematical approximation)
On Growth and Form - by D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson (it is very extensive book)
and for beautiful drawings made with 3d modelling software
reasearch Marco Murayama, Inorganic Flora


And for all, i recommend a short research on sacred geometry.

See you tomorrow! (work hard)
