Blog Assignment#3


             Patch Work Quilt

This picture is from late 19th century and found it from the Brooklyn museum link. This is a 2D photography with secondary and tertiary colors. There are several different principles of designs seen in this drawing that represents composition of art. There are many things that make unity. Lines make V shapes inside of all squares which represents the unity. The all square shapes are also represents unity. I also see the verity in the artwork. The colors and shades all over the works are closer but somewhere it looks different.  In some places the artist made Monochromatic/ Achromatic color shade. There is a rhythm in the art. Is does not seems like quite. The repetition of shapes, colors and lines make it rhythmic. If there is any focal point exists, it would be the middle square, but it does not really seem like that. It’s like in the eye level viewpoint. When I see the image my eyes are moving all over the place. They do not focus in one place. The artist did not emphasize in specific point. It also has visual weight of elements meaning that the art is asymmetrical because the two sides of the image do not correspond to one another in size and placement and it would not be a mirror image if it was divided in half. There is proportion in this art too, because the proportion means size relationship between two or more items or itself. I can refer the size of V shapes as proportion. Finally, it is a great artwork, which presents huge design principle.

  1. Sumsad- you did a great job here, however please be careful with the terms- this is not photography, it's a quilt- we can talk about this to make this distinction clearer. Also a little later you call it a drawing- this is not a drawing. But, you did identify the design priciles well and seem to show an understanding of them.
