Question 1- composition
1.1 The rule of thirds divides any composition into thirds, vertically and horizontally,.
You would use these lines as a guide for the placement of your focal points. The
rule of thirds helps create an asymmetric art piece. To use it artist would place
the most important elements along these lines to create a better composition but
artist can also use it to place the most important elements on the areas where
the lines intersect. If the elements in a picture are centred and too balanced, it
becomes boring. If the images are offset using the rule of thirds, the asymmetry
and counterbalance of elements creates a much more dynamic picture. So the
rule of thirds makes the art work look more interesting, balanced and
asymmetric.
1.2 The Fibonacci sequence is a sequence which starts with 0, and is when the two
previous numbers add up to the following number, so it goes: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,
13, 21, 34, 55, 89…etc. When this sequence is drawn out in squares, it makes a
spiral, also known as the ‘Golden Ratio. Artist use this to outline their artwork
using the spiral which creates a balanced and aesthetically pleasing artwork. The
spiral can not only outline the artwork as whole but also individual pieces such as
the body of a person. This sequence can also be used to create height and
length which will add to the overall look.
Question 2- Artist Research
2.1 Tim lanes booklet is about bringing together icons and motifs from different world
mythologies. It draws on Hindu Creation Myth with its profusion of theories about
the origin of the Cosmos. According to the myth, Gods dwell in the primeval
waters. And this is why the booklet is filled with water creatures .Anima Mundi
which is the name of the booklet will launch with a solo exhibition of Tim’s work at
Antlers Gallery in Bristol UK .Tim lane used graphite on paper to create his
drawings. Tim lane has created a 5m long booklet .The pages can be
recombined with each other by folding the pages back and forth in different
combinations, revealing new narratives and as such resists being pinned down to
one linear reading or explanation. In my opinion I find this work very interesting
and fascinating to read about. It has a beautiful meaning behind the concept and
the inspiration which really want me to see it in real life. I choose this artist
because I preferred the way he created his art work to the other artistes as he
created a interesting drawing rather than a variety of scrap paper ,leather ,feather
and other things glued onto a piece of paper.
2.2 Peter Clarke’s concept was just a whole lot of recycled pieces of paper,
envelopes stuck down to create a beautiful booklet. This piece of artwork is
exhibited at the National Museum of African Art, Smithsonian Institution. Peter
uses bits and pieces of junk mail—advertisements, flyers, mail-order catalogs—
and imagined ways to recycle them into intriguing and whimsical artworks. Even
the box is covered with envelope liners: clutter into art. Peter has created a 138
page booklet which folds like an accordion with different pieces of bits and pieces
on every page. In my opinion I love this artwork as it is so fun to look at and
admire. It is really a fun thing that can be easily done. I chose this because of
how impressive it is as its 138 pages which is a lot. I also l=just love his way of
creating it and find it very beautiful.
Question 3: Visual Literacy
This is the image i have chosen by Tim Lane
Movement in
ribbons
Texture (rough to
show scales)
Asymmetrical
balance.
Tone showed
in hair and
body
3.1 in this artwork there is a lot of value as the colours in this picture range from
very light greys to almost black. In the above image you can see the detail
created on the hair by using a variety of tone. It makes the people look more 3D
and creates dimension. Texture has been shown on the crocodile as they has
drawn the scales in a way to make them seem rough and spiky like they look in
real life.
In this image there is asymmetrical balance which means it is not the same on
each side but differs. You can see this buy how the top half is filled with the light
house and the bottom half is filled with people. This creates an aesthetically
pleasing image which is not to crowed or busy but just perfect. There is also
movement shown in the picture as in on the right side of the puppet tower you
can see the ribbons moving in the air. It creates a sense that there’s wind which
adds to the whole atmosphere and emotion of the drawing and usually wind is
associated with a gloomy feeling.
