In the post, document your thoughts about this project. Think about what you learned, what you could have done better (planning, material use, craft), and how you will apply what you learned to your next project.


One thing I could’ve done better was the neatness as the black paint was a little bit out of place and I had to cover it with white paint. Aside from that, I learned about Ambiguous and Obvious figures, and now I know how to tell which is which, also now I can view images differently as most images tend to have ambiguous or obvious figures.

Ocean(Ambiguous)- This is the ocean in the beautiful coast of Senegal . the ambiguity in this image is the texture change in the image. although its the ocean some people may perceive it as a rocky terrain or sand
tree bark(Ambiguous) – This tree bark is ambiguous because of the uncertainty of what it is. if you look hard enough though you could tell that is is a tree brk
Lighter (Obvious) This lighter is sitting on top of my pants. its a direct contrast to the background of the image so you can clearly tell what the focus of the image is
Sunset (Ambiguous) this image is ambiguous because if it was flipped you couldnt tell what the image was
Sky(Ambiguous)- This is an ambiguous picture because of the repeating patterns within the sky that make it hard to tell what it initially is
Rock(Obvious)- This rock is the only unique thing on the picture so it is obvious that it is the main focus

this was a sidewalk in brooklyn i noticed on my way home i like the complication of the leaves against the dirt and the hard edge of the sidewalk. this is ambiguous
this was a discarded mask i saw on the ground. example of obvious figure/ground
i really liked the contrast of the broken glass against the pavement. ambiguous figure/ground
obvious figure/ground example i like the contrast of the chain link against the grain of the pavement
this was a very textured tree stalk i loved the contrast vetween the ground and the petals
a discarded glove against textured pavement i like the clear contrast between the glove and ground obvious figure/ground

The image depicts a banner that was used to promote mathematics and or number’s/symbols. it was mounted on the wall to grab people’s attention, and make you want to choose said activity that is trying to be portrayed by the poster.

The sculpture was made as an abstract creation of an electrical circuit, you can see cables being adapted inside the circle and its very eye catching because of its unnatural looks. it was mounted onto a wall to decorate and make people understand off the bat what the building is primarily focusing on informing you on.

The rulers although its name may depict ruling, you really cant tell which one is ruling the other, this caught my eye as it shows the user ran out of time to organize, and although messy it made a great picture for this project.

The idea that the fire alarm has its own image to describe what you should do in case the alarm was to sound, seems to be very funny as, if the alarm was to sound you wouldn’t look for instructions, and instead your instinct would tell you to run.

Fire extinguisher logo, when you zoom in it seems as though it was a Fire Exit, i liked said idea but it really brings out a contrast of the white background between red and white.

the button although it is black and white, you can tell the button is red and a super important, i liked the image because it was just catching my eye as buttons are always something that you want to press and although i wanted to press said button, i know i shouldn’t because of the contrast it has between other buttons you are allowed to press.
