Another perspective photo

http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/4ITwa0/current.com/1cihu4c/ This is another website I found on perspective photography and I really enjoyed this photographed because I thought it was nicely thought out  and had a realistic feel for tricking the eye.

Perspective Photographs

http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1TEkWb/www.drweb.de/magazin/35-splendid-examples-of-forced-perspective-photography/ Today after the critique we talked about our new assignment which was perspective drawings. I googled perspective drawings and photographs and came upon this website. I wanted to get an idea of what I was looking for when Margie was explaining the project and these pictures really gave me a creative feel to go about thinking of what I could do. These go above and beyond of what we are probably going to be doing but they were fun to look at and gave our assignment on a higher scale.

Chair Designs

http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1kiaxj/www.trendir.com/archives/003650.html/ I found this website about this new chair design and thought it was really interesting after seeing all the different chair designs of today's critique. I really like the negative space in the back of the chair. It really intrigued me how little of material is used especially after we had to use numerous sheets of cardboard to sustain our body weight.

Chair Designs

http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/94b102/www.urukia.com/switch-table-chair-ellen-ectors/  I found this website and saw these chairs that turn into tables. I thought it was interesting in the geometric and organic shapes that made up this object. I was a little curious as to why no one made something like this...but then realized the amount of work that would've been needed for an idea like this...and the amount of cardboard. It's still a neat idea though!

Artworks

The artwork from the websites kept me interested in looking at them. The negative space that they each provide makes the viewer curious as to how it is holding together or what shapes the spaces are giving. I was curious to see the shadows that Martin Puryear’s piece would create. Both artworks communicate to me the fluidity of the negative space that the material gives off. I think they do this because my eyes continue to explore the entire artwork rather than just getting the “gist” of it. The material makes me more curious as to what it looks like from other directions rather than just straight on. 

The materials in each piece keep the shape interesting. In Puryear’s the wood makes parallel lines in a vertical and horizontal fashion that keeps your eyes moving up and down and examines it throughouly due to the space outlned in the middle. The curved shape in the middle contrasts to the straight flat edges of the blocks of wood. 

In Kendall Buster’s project she uses material that is light and transparent. This keep me interested because of the texture the material gives from different directions when placed in different forms. The constant linear shapes gives negative spaces throughout the artwork and constantly forms geometric shapes that are easy to look at and recognize what she is trying to show the viewer. 

Both artworks use geometric shapes to form larger objects. The simple shapes they each use form into a greater form that keeps our eyes moving and curious about how the shapes work with each other.

Another photo I took for the restaurant.

Logos

We're learning about logos in Visual Communications and I happened to stumble upon this gem of a video.
