The dove

Week 11 assignment: poetry


The dove oversees
as the people leave
to the reality in which they find mean
they push, run, and lean
to the other side they call hope
eventually finding how to cope
with their color, struggles, and identity.

1. What is the central idea of your concentration?
-My central idea of my concentration is finding identify through a cultural aspect. I want to be able to emphasize the country where I came from that's going to have a transition from traditional to modern to embody every part of me. The idea is going to touch up on the stlye, music, the setting or the atmosphere, and patterns or items that symbolizes South Korea.

2. How will the work in your concentration demonstrate the exploration of your idea?
-The work in my concentration demonstrates the exploration of my idea by depicting a small, yet large part of who I am and how art had changed my perception throughout my life. The cultural aspect of my identify does not, as a whole, tell the viewers of who I am but it gives them a general idea of my interest and my background.

Week 8 assignment

1. I chose this as my worst picture due to the lack of strong contrast.
2. I cropped this picture in order to have a more defined composition that could focus on the depth of the plant rather than the background.
3. I wanted to shoot this plant, in particular, to show the weakness of contrast that the plant carries by itself.
4. The spatial depth contributes to this image by exaggerating on the distance between the plant and the background and also to highlight the focus on the plant even more.
5. The balance of this image adds a transformative effect by adding a subtle focus on the plant.

1. I chose this as my worst picture due to the lack of strong contrast.
2. I cropped this picture in order to have third-based composition in that the sculpture would have a exaggerated focus by clearing out all the other unnecessary objects.
3. I wanted to shoot this particular object because it lacked white/dark spots that could not give it a strong contrast effect as its outcome.
4.The spatial depth contributes to this image by adding the highlighted focus on the sculpture and not anything else.
5. The balance of this image adds a transformative effect by having a strong impact the sculpture more than other objects/backgrounds that surrounding it.

 1. I chose this as my best picture due to the strong contrast it has on its white and black.
2. I cropped this picture in order to have third-based composition in that the front of the car would have a exaggerated focus by clearing out all the other unnecessary objects.
3. I wanted to shoot this particular object because it had a repetition and an amazing contrast as well.
4. The spatial depth contributes to this image by adding the highlighted focus on the front of the car and not anything else.
5. The balance of this image adds a transformative effect by having a strong impact the front of the car more than other objects/backgrounds that surrounding it.

1. I chose this as my best picture due to the strong contrast it has on its white and black.
2. I cropped this picture so that it can have a unusual angle as well as a nice, composition to have a interesting sense to the picture.
3. I wanted to shoot this particular part because of the strong contrast of the light and the shade. The strong linear lining also evoked me to take this picture.
4. The spatial depth is lacked in this certain picture but due to the strong light and the dark, and also the cropping, the picture doesn't seem to have all that appeal to the depth.
5. The balance of this image adds a transformative effect by having a strong impact of angles and lights and darks.

 1. I chose this as my best picture due to the strong contrast it has on its white and black.
2.  I cropped this picture so that it can have a unusual angle as well as a nice, composition to have a interesting sense to the picture.
3. I wanted to shoot this particular part because of the strong contrast repetition as well as angle to add a increasing dramatized feel to the image.
4. The spatial depth is lacked in this certain picture but due to the strong light and the dark, and also the cropping, the picture doesn't seem to have all that appeal to the depth.
5. The balance of this image adds a transformative effect by having a strong impact of angles and lights and darks.

 1. I chose this as my best picture due to the strong contrast it has on its white and black.
2. I cropped this picture so that the depth of the picture is geared towards the ground rather than the sky.
3.  I wanted to shoot this particular part because of the strong contrast of the glare to the ground.
4. The spatial depth is definitely added to this image by focusing more on the ground/grass rather than the background.
5. The balance of this image adds a transformative effect by having a nice blurry background to dramatize the depth and the focus.

 1. I chose this as my best picture due to the strong contrast it has on its white and black.
2. I cropped the picture to show the strong contrast as well as the repetition shown in this image.
3. I wanted to shoot this particular part because of the strong depth of field as well as repetition to spice up the interest of this picture for the audience.
4. The spatial depth is definitely contributed to the image by showing distance as well as robust focus on the pattern to exaggerate the image even more.
5. The balance of this image adds a transformative effect by having a nice blurry background to dramatize the depth and the focus.

1. I chose this as my best picture due to the strong contrast it has on its white and black.
2. I cropped this picture to have a nice composition as well as the main focus to stand out from the rest.

The Killing Cycle

1. Line quality

-The direction of the line of both figures depict a rather sensational effect with its curvy lines rather than a rigid, structural feel. The degree and the orientation of the compositions are similar with one another that seemingly displays a strong contrast of cross hatching (Adrift on the Lethe) and continuous lines for emphasis (The dead Toreador).

                                                      

2. Actual Lines

-The dominant orientation of lines spotlights the diagonal frame of the ocean. With the lines that create the composition, Leslie incorporates an exaggerated feel to each individual lines, portraying an enigmatic, yet a perpetual effect. When lines are either intersected or repeated, the effect would still remain the same, except with the touch of duplications could act a more complex feel and the intersection would definitely add an hectic design than the simple, concise feel of the original's work.

 

 3. FrameWork

-The organizational lines are exercised through the dock, with its structural, rigid feel borders. The implied lines are employed through the body movement and the expressions of the people. The lines that the artist uses give a direct concentration towards the dark shadows. With its cryptic mood of the painting, the dark shadow creates the depth and effect to the piece even without trying. 

4. Expression

-"The Killing Cycle" drawn by Alfred Leslie awed me in such way that created not only a realistic painting, but a story that allured me in an instant. I feel as if he approached this concept not for the appeal of it, but to describe a story in his life through pictures, not words. Emotionally, it produced a melancholy effect on me that many of us could fathom. The death of a loved one or even a person you once knew could add such guilt to your conscious, but in reality, it was never your fault, but the situation's. (quoted by Alfred Leslie).
