Week 3 in 3D

This week I realy strated to do research into negative space art and design and how I could relate this to my project. Kandinsky is an artist I already somewhat looked into when makeing my cutouts but In my sketch book realy when in on some of his work and studed his used of colour and the abstract nature of his art. This was primerily so that I could inhance the visuals of the negative space in my test pieces. This is an image of some of his work and my version of his work in my skectch book.
The next artist that I researched was a text artist fiona banner. She used words in her art and alot of typography which I an very interesed in. Some of her work is done in 3D which realy relates to the subject of 3D but her ised of 2D type relates mostly to the theme of contrasts and negative and positive space. this is an example of her work and my impretion of her 2D art in my sketch book.

DEADLINES!!! (Now showing in 3D)

Two weeks into 3D and I’m already one week away for being half way through. I played around with the design that I did last week. I played with the amount of negative and positive space in my models. The next step is to turn what I’m doing into something relevant.
The mood board for digital apps is almost finished and it’s coming along well but I’m starting to fear that the meaning will not come across as strong as the shock factor. For example, god hates fags = the true message of what people believe in.

Can I tell you a secret? (Digital Applications/ 3D)

Today was the shortest day of the week as we only did digital applications that listed for the fist half of the day. After the lesson I was almost certain that I wanted to be a graphic designer. They way that emotion can be conveyed through simple graphics is AMAZINNG. The lecturer subliminally gave us topics by making us revels some secrets and some of potions. Most likely, my project with revolve around atheism.
On another note I continued with the 3D design sketch book and made this.

This will occupy negative space when I make a page to hover over it like the last and is made of materials and colour paper from around my house.

Freedome with a pencil.

Today was a brake from the work and the main focus was on drawing. We did line drawing without shading of various objects. This is what I did.
It's just a small potion of the picture but you get the point. This drawing part of the cores really brought my creativity to life and I’ve stared to continue my sketch book for 3D design.

First Post. (3D)

   Today 13th of September 2010 was the first and last of my 3D lessons for my first week. We spent the day doing research, coming up with loose concepts and looking for things to build upon. It took allot longer than it should have, but I finally came up with a starting point at the end of the lesson, I’m finding that it is leading my thought process in the right direction. The theme of this 6 week project is negative and positive. I have chosen to concentrate on the concept of negative and positive space. In this context, the positive space being that which is used and the negative being the empty. I had the idea of making, the often over looked, negative space the focus of my attention. This is what I came up with.
   I drew an abstract image on a page in my sketch book and rendered it with different shades of black and gray. This is going to represent the negative space. Next I added some positive space to complete the effect.
   This is the final outcome of my experiment. All of the focus has been paced on the negative space (the wholes in the paper). By making the positive space as plain as possible buy keeping the neutral white and using strait lies, it both contrasts with the background image and (in a sense) turns the positive space into the negative space. The only part of the design being used is the negative space that the audience is viewing.

  
   To expand upon this I will continue with the theme of positive and negative space, most likely experimenting with turning positive space into negative space.
