The Principles of design arrange the elements of art into a composition. They all work together to create artwork. Starting with movement, balance, unity, variety, rhythm, pattern, scale, proportion, emphasis, and value contrast. The artist for this week used nontraditional media, which is what makes art so amazing, being able to use anything. Erwin Redl uses LEDs as a form of medium. The "Matrix Paris" was a light installation with red and blue LEDs. Letting the visitors walk into a maze over two floors to view the artwork. John F. Simon Jr. writes digital software to create art. Jeffrey Shaw used a stationary bicycle and created a simulated city to ride through. However, instead of buildings, there are three-dimensional letters forming words and sentences. One of my favorite digital tools to use is a tablet. As much as I love my IMac and MacBook, I do a lot of my work on my Ipad. All my artwork and animation start on my tablet, then sent over to my computer to do finishing touches or to add onto it. I would be nowhere without my stylus. While I refused to shell out $100+ for appls stylus, I ended up finding one for under $30 that works just as well as Apples. I've tried just about every free program out there, trying to avoid having to pay for Adobe. However, none feel the same or have the number of resources and tutorials out there. Making the price there worth it. As well as the ability to transfer projects at ease between programs. This week's museum trip was to The Olympic Museum. I really enjoyed seeing all the photos from around the world that featured different sports, ages, genders, and races. My favorite portion was the Olympic Language, specifically of Paris.

This week we went over photography and the different types. Fine art portraiture portrays emotion or creative motivation through imagery. Conceptual photography can resemble fine art portraits and can express ideas and concepts to create abstract visions. Still-life photography is a grey area between fine art and documentary-style photography, made of inanimate subject matter. Nature and landscape photography is a setting that cannot be controlled entirely. It captures the beauty of nature and the outdoors. Architectural photography captures photos of buildings anywhere from homes, to churches, to government buildings. Street photography makes the person think or bring up a feeling, story, or idea. Product photography is photos taken to help drive sales of a product or service. Different tools used by photographers include a darkroom. A darkroom allows the process of light-sensitive of photos. Which includes film and photo materials. Center for Creative Photography is of the world...

Digital Illustration is personally one of my favourite parts of graphic art. Adobe Illustrator is a vector graphics design program. It's been around since 1985 and is used to create logos, icons, book illustrations, and more. Inkscape is a free vector graphics editor. Similar to Adobe Illustrator. Procreate is a digial art app. Procreate gives you the feeling of real-world drawing with the power of digital art. Works well with the Ipad and Apple Pencil. A good choice for digital artists since it's a one-time fee of 12.99 versus a monthly or yearly charge for Adobe. It can also be used to make animation and has many different saving file options. The five basic principles of layout and composition, include proximity, white space, alignment, contrast, and repetition. Alignment creates a sharper more unified design. Repetition strengthens a design by tying together otherwise separate parts, and as a result, creates associations. Contrast is the most effective way to create e...

For this week, we got to take a Virtual field trip to The National Museum of Computing in Bletchley Park, England. The museum was really interesting, especially how different it was from the last museum. I enjoyed seeing the evolution of technology and the history along with it. The Color Field painters were an interesting concept, being that color itself is enough on its own. Not by trying to take you to another place or represent the outside world. It emphasised that you were looking at a painting. Then Trompe L'oeil is almost the opposite. Creating an illusion that can trick our eyes. Emphasising on depth and form to create the art. In any form of art knowing the copyright laws is extremely important. Copyright can include text, graphics, sound, video, animations, and more. It's important to always cite and or get permission. The idea of the copywrite laws was carefully made to make sure it wasn't limiting but promoting creativity. Public domain is open to anyone to...
