Urban Artifacts: Phase 3

Short Description: 

This part of the project is related to the previous project because, I’m using the same photos from the previous project. The only difference is that I updated my refined sketches to make it appear more of an inked composition.

 

Hours:

I spent about Two Days working on my Inked compositions. It took me two days because I had to think my way through the inked compositions and I also thought about ways to edit the drawing to make it look presentable to the audience and to also feel satisfied with my work.

Sound Visualizations: Phase 3

Animation

The sparks in the video represent the staccato song while the violin represents the violin in the legato song. The left panel on the bottom slides slowly to the violin while pitch is shown on the other violin panels. I also chose to make the smallest spark panel the one with the most energy to match the staccato beat that has higher frequency.

I worked on this for about 7 hours on the pictures and about 20 minutes to pick a song and a part I would crop.

Urban Artifacts: Phase 3

stable stable

For this part of the project I worked about an hour for both to come out how I wanted them to. I picked two different pictures, and they both ended up being stable compositions. However, the reason why I chose those two pictures which were both paintings. One was ribs and the other a human heart, they both showed organic, natural curves and I really wanted to show that. I decided to really make the shapes stand out by having them both contrast each other which is something i recieved positive criticism for.

Urban Artifact: Phase 3

Here you have one stable and ambiguous figures. It took me a few minutes to do. I was inspired by the subway wall tiles where it’s all perfect and squares. So I wanted to incorporate that for the stable figure as one somewhat perfect square. For the ambiguous, I wanted to break that perfection and make it all distorted while adding new lines and shapes. This phase relates the other phase where we had to take pictures of stable and ambiguous and now we have to sketch it out for more understanding of it.

Urban Artifacts: Phase 3

I finished the stable image in class and chose to shrink it and move it more towards the top of the page (I centered it in this image but not on canvas). The way I drew it looks like it could be hanging from somewhere and it looks more interesting to me. This is stable because the background surrounds the object. 30/70 ratio.

I finished inking the other image also in class but had to go over it again at home because my marker was dying. This is clearly ambiguous because compared to the bracelet there is a 50/50 relationship between the background and figure which makes it unclear what the figure is.

The story between the two images is that the bracelet fell into the manhole.

I think this was about the last 45 minutes of class, it took me 5 minutes for the first one because I made it smaller.

Urban Artifacts: Phase 3

For this part of the project, I had worked for around 1 hour and a half. I picked the ambiguous figure I had chosen in phase 2 along with changing it so it can also be a stable figure as shown in the first image. This would be the reason why I choose this image seeing as it was fun to manipulate the lines with no precise direction. Along with that, the images can show a start and an end of the lines that start of small being a stable figure but over time more cracks appear on the surface that it ends up creating an ambiguous figure.
