3. [click to select]
4. [specify first corner]
5. [specify base point] - click on object
6. [specify scale factor] - type the desired size
If we type 2, the size will be twice as big as the original

Autocad uses base point as the position it moves the objects from. If we selected more than one item to move, these items will be moved the same distance, but the relative distance will remain the same.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now we need to add text to the final composition of 10 squares.
It needs to be done in Paper Space on a separate layer called "title".

Final Drawing and Pen Settings

My completed image in Autocad (Model Space)

Now we are going to print it, so we need to set up pen settings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pen Settings

www.arch52af09.pbworks.com/pen-settings

There are two drawing areas within an Autocad drawing, model space and paper space. All drawing or modeling done in Autocad is drawn in model space.
Layout1 and Layaut2 are two paper space views.
Paper Space is an area used in Autocad to plot (print) the drawing created in model space.

My character is Pablo Picasso. He is a Spanish painter and sculptor. He was involved in the Cubism Movement and the beginner of abstract art. Cubism is devided into Synthetic cubism and Analytical cubism. His works are popular by use of simple geometric shapes to represent objects so the viewer is able to look at them from different viewpoints. The main characteristic of the Analytical cubism is the use of collage technique in paintings. A combination of different materials was used together with painting on canvas.

After war Picasso's paintings are symbols of peace and diversity.

LINES FORM DIMENSIONAL SHAPES AND FIGURES

In my example it is 2-dimensional shapes. The difference between 2-dimensional shapes and 3-dimensional shapes is that first only have height and width while the second also have depth. In 2-dimensional drawing the depth can be created by use of lines of different thickness and darkness.

I used five images related to this statement :

Rainbow/color spectrum represents LINE

Abstract Form

Cubism used to describe DIMENSION

Sculpture as a process of shaping by using hands

Human Form

In the process of drawing and sketching I thought about my lines in their relationship to my character. Every word we use can be represented with different line, and all line we use in the drawing create a story. In my 2-dimensional drawing I used thicker and thiner line to show the illusion of depth. I used simple geometric shapes to represent images and be able to look at them from different viewpoints. Combination of different lines and techniques and use of geometric shapes in one deawing is related collage. It also creates the transition from reality to abstraction.

Creating of geometric shapes throughh the use of different angles, curves and squares. Rainbow/color spectrum represents line and also the use of color in his paintings. It is symbol of diversity and peace.

I distorted my images digitally through the use of copy/paste, crop, layers, brightness and contrast, use of filters, curves and smart sharpen

Final Project 1 drawing

Final Project #1

LINES FORM DIMENSIONAL SHAPES AND FIGURES

















And some images I scanned from my original drawing
We are going to work on one of them in Autocad

When I was drawing my line images, I was thinking only about my character Pablo Picasso and his style. I concentrated myself on Picasso's Cubism in general and his achievements as a sculptor. It was hard to put everything together at the beginning, but at the end of the process it became very interesting. I tried to connect all my lines and my images together. Each line I draw represents an action, process or expression. I don't want to use the word tracing because it's not what I was doing. It is based on my own understanding of a line. I looked at my photoshop images and my word maps, and only after that I tried to express them with lines. Most of my images not even close the same as the ones I did in photoshop.
Very interesting assignment.....

Working on my images and word maps

Every image from Photoshop should have a word map
Each line should represent a human action or photoshop command
Emotion or Physical action
Action of line - direction
Expression - emotion or physical action
I decided to do a word map and image together
Every command has a connection to the image and lines
Every line represents characteristics of an object
Images don't look like the ones I made in Photoshop
It's not tracing
Each image contains 3 line weights expressing the following idea:
-human action (how is the line expressed through the movement of your hand)
-human expression (how is the line expressed through human emotions)
- repetition of a line developed through human action and human expression)

action of line - photoshop command - directional - emotion, physical action

image - texture, template

Human action- step
Human Expression - sigh

Shaping (Sculpture)
- Ceramics
- Clay
- Hands

Picasso's Sculpture:
Cubist, three- dimensional style
Expression of light, hapiness and hope

Dimension (Cubism)
-Synthetic Cubism
-Geometric Form
-Picasso

Cubism- the first abstract style of modern art
-In cubist style objects are broken up and analyzed in an abstracted form
-Objects are depicted from a multitude viewpoints
-Representation of a form in its purest way
-Geometry is a major part of cubism
-Shows many parts of the subject at one time, viewed from different angles, and reconstructed into a composition of planes, forms and colours.
-Picasso played with dimensions. He never gave the third dimension in his paintings
- Cubist Geometry is Picasso's own creation

Geometric shape
Construction
Cube
angle, edge

Project 1 Thoughts

• Correlation of words/phrases to images / feelings
• Exploration of lines and images visually
• Developing perception to open our perspective
• Transition between Ideas
• Extracting Lines/ Structure from images
• Visual Representation of Words
• Image Etymology (the study of words, meanings and their roots)
• Anthropomorphisize of words to faces/people. Lines that represent people
• Interpretation - construct words vs. images
• Circulating process
• Analyzing what we see into meanings
• Finding a definition to a line with words and images
• Sensing (mood/emotion) -how to express and define lines, perform lines
• Translating - changing one form into another
• Connecting with lines, images, expression, in order to project a purpose of significance to its context (character)
• Learning new software (tools)
• Linking a character's personalitity to words and images
• Productively wasting time (process)
