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.

Module 2

Key Concepts: After watching the videos and doing the reading I learned that art is constantly evolving. The ideas of influential change and they tend to change the ideas in which people view art and understand it. Though this is not talked about in the videos or reading, music interest changes over time as does other forms of art such as, painting, poetry, and plays. The change on art aesthetics changed and continues to change over time. Another topic discussed is how our brains are able to distinguish things in art even though they are 2 dimensional. Our brains allows us to read into what we are seeing and develop an understanding of it. Lastly a key concept also talked about is the use of color to please the eye and allow it to look like it is 3 dimensional when we look at it. This allows us to look deeper into it, as talked about in the video, symmetry is also used to do this.  Morris Weitz "what I am arguing then, is that the very expansive, adventurous character of ar...

Module 9

Module 9. Question 1. Using my hand as the subject, I hand to look at it in deeper detail. Also keeping it steady and not moving it to much in order to keep the same view was difficult. Question 2. For this project I chose pencil. This was because I knew I was going to struggle while using my left hand and it would be easier to erase multiple times. Question 3. It felt awkward using my left hand. I felt like finding even the most comfortable way to hold it was very challenging during it. I did like how I drew lighter because i wasnt able to push down as much. Question 4. I think they are successful, each in their own ways. Using my left hand was difficult but I was still able to work towards the detail I was able to add with my right hand. Question 5. Yes, Though a struggle for me, I see where I could gain while making art if I give something a go with my left hand. Something unintentional could happen but lead me in a new direction and bring success.

Project 1

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...
