Urban Artifacts: phase 3

Stable figure
Ambiguous figure

Here are both my stable and ambiguous figures that I created from a leaf. the type of feedback that I received was very positive, and insightful. Makes me want to keep doing things such as what we did to get these figures.

Urban Artifacts: Phase 4

After the criticism i received from class, i needed to make these two pictures relate to each other. By doing that i took the circle from the stable figure and added it to the ambiguous figure. With the circle, the ambiguous figure looks like something spilled and covered up the 40. From what i learn from the critics, for the upcoming projects i will use figures that are able to relate to each other.

Urban Artifacts: Phase 3

Here we have one stable and one ambiguous. The stable one is a .40 that I found outside of city tech by the bicycles.  It is stable because you can clearly see the number from the background. The second picture is a stain that is near the Nathans hot dog stand a few blocks down from city tech by the train station. It is ambiguous because the background and figure are equal and if you were to turn it and look at it from a different side it would show more than one thing. I chose these two because it took place in near the school. Each of these drawings were taken from phase 2.

These are the finished, inked, design of the urban artifacts phase 3 project. I chose the tree stump photo, and the Trash, because i felt there was a lot to simplify and stylize. I decided to go with a simplified pattern or design to make it seem more like a textile.

the stable design, is black and white, split roughly in the middle, with easy triangular shapes to show some sort of definition. While the Ambiguous peice is a black and white repeated pattern. vaguely replicating the rings of a tree stump.
