Final Artwork: Top 3

 Top Choice

Art Work Tittle: Coffee House

Visual Treatment: 

i) Art Movement:Bauhaus

ii) Reference Artist: Max Bill

iii) Theme Chosen: Technology and Society

iv) Idea & Concept: This idea came about when I see the environment in a coffee house where everyone would just stare at their computer without interacting with anyone or having friends to chat with. I would want to emphasize that technology that changes how we live nowadays. Therefore, I draw another table where this group is chatting happily without the distraction of technology compare to those with technology gadget. As you can see, I replicate the colour, design and technique of the artist of my choice which is Max Bill where his style and colour are very similar like this.

Final Drawing.

Technical execution: Go out and play

First: Improvise version of sketches and just outline without colour.

Second: Paint the grass and the clouds, table and chairs.

Third: Use line tools to outline the wall and the window.

Forth: Using Eclipse tool to draw the circle, and using lines to finish up the door.

Fifth: Using lines to lay down the wood-like flooring. Then next, I apply filter to give the effect of wood flooring. I also painted the sky just by using Brush tools.

Sixth: Using lines tool to outline the roof and colour it. I also added some tones to the sky to make it more natural and feel like the sky and clouds.

Final Artwork.

Technical Execution: Full of technology

First: Using the eclipse tool to draw circle with colour to form the stage look.

Second: Draw the human figure, the tablet and the presentation table.

Third: Draw the chairs and human figure.

Forth: Using Rectangle rounded tools to form the laptop look, with variety of colours.

Design Project 2: Creativity & Innovation

Series: Technology and Society
Reference Artist: Max Bill
Art Movement: Bauhaus

Introduction
I choose Technology and Society because I feel that the society nowadays dependent on technology gadget and internet so much that they seems they can barely survive without it. Next was because Bauhaus was closely associated with technology designs. Bauhaus main creativity was buildings and evolves around modernism. All the buildings that use Bauhaus theme doesn't goes out of date. The reason was because they emphasize to be simple, clean and functional.

Problem Statement
As I mention above, the society dependent on technology gadget so much that they seems they cannot survive without it. I am not sure whether this problem will become worse or better. From what I seen it would become worse because young people by the age of 2 as I seen are already involve or living in the technological environment which means they don't know how to do things without the gadget. Whatever they play, they see and they do it's all using technology gadget.

Purpose of Content
So the artwork that I create will show to all from my perspective and what I seen from my daily life.

Research Question:
Can we survive without technology gadget?

It was actually called Staatliches Bauhaus but commonly known as Bauhaus was a school in Germany. Bauhaus school is a school that combined crafts and fine arts together which was founded by Walter Gropius, who was an architect.

Colours: Very good use of colours to catch viewers attention and to create  perception, space and distance.
Values: using bright colourful colour and gradually reduce to lighter colour.
Texture: no special texture intended because it was meant as a flat piece of art and also it has use contrasting colour to show space, distance and style.
Shape: Only use basic shapes such as triangle, square, rectangle and circle.
Proportion: it was quite clear that every shapes have well balance proportion to create perception, repetition and unity.
Eyes movement: Normally from middle and move on to the outer side or vice versa.

Principles of Design

Balance: well balance and well spread to show equality among all
Proximity: All the shapes all closely put together to show unity and distance.
Repetition: a lot repetition to create well balance, perception and finished work.
Unity and Variety: Variety in colour and sometimes variety in shapes. Repetition of same shape create unity.

Conceptual or Perceptual?

I learned something from the last class that I want to post here for record.

In that last class I learned Conceptual or Perceptual which is in my opinion, very basic stuff and which is also  what we commonly see in typical arts or picture.

The arts that use Conceptual theory need us to think and interpret the message which the artist trying to deliver to the viewer. Conceptual theory that artist use in the arts also can be very subjective because different viewer have their own way of interpreting the arts.

For those arts that use Perceptual theory, we can immediately recognize it because it amaze us through their unique arts which can appear to be magic in viewers eyes. Normally Perceptual arts are very stimulating to our sensory such as 3D image or moving pictures.

 

 The infamous Perceptual arts

Conceptual: What are your interpretation?

How about this?

And this?

 So do you know how to differentiate Conceptual and Perceptual now?
