English - Connections

 In English, we've been researching numerous amount of texts that relate to consciousness and how they relate to one another. We created some sort of chart where similar ideas connect to each other in these texts

Art - Updated Moodboard

 Recently in Art, we decided to remake our mood board. We found a better tool to use that'll enhance the appeal of our already existing mood board as it was made on a limited tool like google drawings. 

The tool we used was Canva which offered many layout options to choose from. 

Here is my updated mood board.

Art - Sequence and Series

 Today in Art class we are analyzing series and sequences. We looked at examples of other people's portfolio's and see how they used series and sequences. The example bellow was an excellence grade portfolio.

After analyzing I believe series and sequences is basically keeping your design constant throughout by using the same features over and over but still making them unique. This could mean using the same colour pattern's, shapes, logos, fonts, and more. 

Art - Personal Description on Josef Muller Brockmann

^ Here is one of my slides identifying the some techniques in his works.

^Here is my personal description of one of Josef's works and a rough sketch of the artwork.

^Here is just a bit more info on some specific art techniques.

Art - Design - Update on my Work

 This is now the 6th week of school and a lot of things had happened since. Anyway since this is art blog post I'll be updating on what things we have done for the past weeks.

Near the beginning we made our colours and then cut shapes out of them to make 6 different designs with my shapes and colours.

We also learnt about negative space on what it means and how it can impact our work. Negative space is the space around your work. It usually is the space that isn't used to create additional meaning/work.

We then uploaded our designs to the computers so we can work on them using Adobe Illustrator. Adobe Illustrator was confusing as I was using it for the first time but I've got more comfortable with it now.

Using Adobe Illustrator we played around with our shapes and try to make even more designs and then develop on them. Since I had pretty basic shapes it was kind of hard for me to make complicated designs so I had the idea to base my work kind of on
the art movement minimalism.

Now at the present I'm creating/thinking of ideas for my company name and purpose. I decided to stick with the name Sed Consilio for now. This means Contrast Designs in Latin but I'll probably change it in the future as I may want to work on different approach to my work.

Here are photos of my work.

Art - Digital Moodboard - Design (Cityscape)

This is Year 12 Art. This is my first time actually taking an art class since year 9. For the first week we have been researching different types of art. I wanted to do art design. 

What we did was we looked at different types of artist and researched the type we want, and what I picked was a cityscape type of design artist.

I picked cityscape because that was the one that stood out to me the most. It stood out because I wanted to see what kind of building or interior of buildings I could draw.

Here is a brainstorm where gathered our ideas and see where that will take us.

We made a digital moodboard where we list the artist and their works below just to get some inspiration.

Here is my Digital Moodboard

DVC - Rendering Internal AS91066

 In DVC we had started our rendering internal. The internal requires us to render our bottle using colors to communicate what material is our bottle and many other things. This bottle was based off our initial design at the start of the year which we had to include a filtration system as well.

AS91066

What did you like?

I like coloring in my bottle and using colors to communicate what kind of bottle it is. This means telling the viewer what kind of material the bottle is made out of, and stuff like if it's transparent or not.

What didn't you like?

I didn't like how my bottle was designed as it made the rendering process hard. This was also my first time rendering as well so that didn't help. how shadows worked are complicated as well.

How do you like it? Is there any feedback?

I found the process kind of fun but it was annoying as I didn't know what looked good or not. I also didn't know what shadows are supposed to work as well.

Next time we could learn some rendering skills before doing our rendering internal.
