Digital Imaging Assessment Adam & Eve

Last week we were given the task of telling a story through visual language. Along with Gillian and Martin we decided to tell the love story of Adam & Eve through claymation. Using Plasticine we created the two figures, an apple tree, a snake, and a fire. We decided to add a twist to the old story, with eve slaying the devil with the forbidden fruit.

Drawing Theory

Today’s class focused on drawing, and the different techniques used to give perspective and depth. – mainly line, point, form, shape, color, and texture.

-lines can be combined to create different textures and patterns. An example of this would be engravings and pen and ink drawings.

Albrecht Duerer’s Knight Death and the Devil

This engravment uses both dense and detailed line cut into metal to achieve and it’s tone and realism.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 This pen & ink drawing uses a cross hatching technique to add value and tone.

 

 

 

 

-A series of points can attract attention, especially as they move together.

-In architecture, horizontal line is often be used to create a sense of calmness in an organic environment while vertical lines can portray grandeur eg: cathedrals.

We then had a go at contour drawing, using our hands as the subject and learning to use dotts and lines to create texture and value.

Color Theory

The lecture in Color Theory explained the importance of 

1. Value- light vs dark

2. Saturation- intense vs dull

3: Hue- red, yellow, green, blue, or purple
