Module 7

1.
"The Science of Design"
While watching this video they discussed how architecture is studied to make advancements in design and quality of each structure. Throughout the video they talked about how when a building is being designed they do tests concerning weather in order to exactly determine what can be changed about the building to make it better. In the video they also talked about how concrete was becoming such a huge part of architecture because it has so many positives when using it. When it comes to concrete they continue to research and study was to make it stronger.

"Architecture as Art"
In this video they talked mainly about how big of a role Frank Gary played in architecture. Frank Gary is said to have been an inventive model maker and this style for him was a huge success. Franks style stuck and transformed the way in which architecture was designed and looked at. Another point discussed in the video was how when an architect designs a building or structure they can often be put under pressure by how people react.

2.  Both videos relate to the reading in the text because they connect the advancements and visual appeal in which architecture plays in society. In both the readings and the videos they connect when talking about how architecture really is an art form and how it connects to so many principals that are used in art when designing the structure.

3. I really enjoyed the first video I watch "The Science of Design" I liked this video because I found it very interesting learning specifically about the process used to pour concrete into water for supports for a bridge. This part made me really enjoy the video because for a while I have wondered how that is done. The second video "Architecture as Art" was also interesting, I liked learning about the lath in which architecture has taken as art and learning about how Frank Gary played such a huge part in it.

4.
I picked the video "The Science of Design" because I thought that it would be interesting to learn about the process that is taken when trying to put the design to life. I also picked the video "Architecture as Art" because I wanted to learn more about the connection between the two.

Line: Hockey Sticks Value: Black and White Image Shape: Box with circles Form: Jar in Snow Space: Street Light Color: Bright Orange Shoes Texture: Cinnamon Buns Balance: The River Contrast: Kid in Color on Black and White background Movement: Hockey Slapshot Emphasis: Face Shot Pattern: Suite case Proportion: Toddler in proportion to everyday living Unity: The Puzzle During the early stages of doing this project I found it challenging to find and create pictures that were able to represent the words and definitions above. Once I began taking just a couple pictures, I couldn't put my phone down and looking at things in different ways. When doing this project I allowed myself to look at the things around me with an open and free mind and photograph a lot of the everyday things around me that represent the definitions. This project was one that truly allowed me to free my mind and look at everyday things I see in a more creative and expressing way. During this project m...

Self Potrait "Blue Smiles"

Title: Elizabeth Artist: SN Media: Oil Painting on canvas with mounted butterflies Size: 47 X 51 X 3 IN 1. I chose this artwork because I really liked the use of black and white against the colored background and blue butterflies. Title: "A little bit louder now..." Artist: Ivan Durrant Date: 1999 Size: 91.5 X 122 cm Media: Painting 1. I chose this for inspiration because I really liked the high saturation in the picture, and thought that I would be able to replicate that effect in my own portrait. Title: Portrait of Tam Purves Artist: John Brack Date: 1958 Size: 91.5 x 122 cm Media: paint 1. This artwork was the one that influenced me the most.

I was inspired to try and create something with simple shapes while also capturing the picture as a whole. Title: "Blue Smiles" Artist: Alex Militello Media: Digital/Comput...

Creating the new Gmail was very easy and quick while creating the blog took me a little more time but was also pretty quick. I did run into one problem while using Google Chrome but to fix it used Safari instead. Throughout this course I expect to learn different aspects of art and to learn about different artists and their styles. Ive taken one online course and I'm confident that this one as well will be one I enjoy and am able to keep up with. 1)I have been told that I am not able to succeed and I have worked hard enough to prove otherwise. 2) I learn from my mistakes and try to take something from every experience 3) I don't give up after one failure
