Urban Artifacts: Phase 3

 

This phase of the project required a lot more work in my opinion because you had to be precise with the tracing and inking, which took very long for me. Comparing this phase and the last phase, I would say both helped me further my understanding of ambiguous and stable work since I spent hours inking and seeing how the objects were composed. On the other hand, filling it in with ink was very different than from working on photoshop. In photoshop I was able to work quicker but now that I had to spend time inking it, I was able to study more of it.

 

Work time: 2 hours

Urban Artifact Phase 4: Deliver

This project has showed me new things and different ways to look at something. I learned how something so simple like trash on the floor can turn into art.  I also learned how to do ambiguous and obvious picture which I didn’t even know what they were before. Thanks to the critics on my project as well I learned that I should be more unpredictable and get out of my comfort zone to what I know. I feel like I did the project just to fill in the requirement and didn’t put much creativity to what I should have done. That is one thing I would change on the next project and be more unpredictable. Overall I think the critics helped me think of what I should do next time on a similar project. I enjoyed this project overall and think it is a good eye opener for the first class. My other assignments were  Urban Artifact Phase: 3 ,  Urban Artifact Phase: 2 , Urban Artifacts: Phase 1

Urban Artifacts: Phase 4

This project told to me differentiate the difference between obvious and ambiguous figure-ground compositions. I also learned that the two figure-ground compositions can really affect the implication of the design, they have completely different means of expression.  During the phase 2 of the project, I didn’t quite fully understand the obvious figure-ground compositions, and it resulted me created six ambiguous figure-ground compositions, but a light bulb popped up in my head after seeing other colleagues’ work, now I feel confident with it and also if the future project contents works about obvious figure-ground compositions, I’ll say I am very confident about that.

Urban Artifacts: Phase 3

Urban Artifacts : Phase 3

This phase of the project required lot of focus and attention, because its very different from previous phase. Hand traced is not perfect compare to the digital, thus, I’ll say its little difficult. Overall, I’ve spent about 2 hours on this.

For this part of the project, it required a  lot of focus and craftsmanship.  This phase  was very tedious and it was very focused on how well you were able to complete the task while being very cautious about the details. This phase relates to the previous one before because, the second phase required focus and your imagination, while being very cautious with your details.

Overall, I spent an hour completing this phase.

 

 

Urban Artifacts Phase #4: Deliver

I learned a lot about patience, and also about how to be comfortable with using new things. I also used a lot of imagination and creativity. For my upcoming projects i will keep working harder and harder to make my technique better and better.  I now have experience with the materials, and know how to keep myself from smudging my artwork. In the end i was successful in trying my best to meet all of the projects requirements, showing figure and ground in an ambiguous and stable piece using the artifacts.

Urban Artifacts: Phase 4

I found project #1 to be pretty difficult in my sense. I didn’t get the power point concept. I was also never on top with taking all the pictures I needed. So with that came that I couldn’t complete the project in all. Next project I will try and understand what is being done more and ask more questions. I found this to be a learning experience in general with all I do. I should be on time with things and prepare for what I have to do ahead of time.

Phase:1

Phase:2

Phase:3

Urban Artifacts: Phase 4

while working in this project,I learn the definitions of ambiguous and stable. In which that they are the opposite of each other. While ambiguous is hard to tell which is the ground and which is the object. On the other hand, stable is when the object stands out. What I can do better is when choosing an artifact because like the gums was a pain when I start to do phase 2. It is difficult to cut out exactly the gums that was on the floor. In this project, I learn that the more time you spend on something, that the outcome will be better. Try to spend more time on the next project.
