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)

LINES FORM DIMENSIONAL SHAPES AND FIGURES






Dimension (Cubism) - Synthetic Cubism, Geometric Structure, Picasso All lines has dimensions: height and width
cube is 3-dimensional
square and triangle are 2-dimensional
dimension represents size of something




Geometric Structure
- arrangement
- inorganic
- lines, angels, edges
- cube, triangle








Picasso
-cubism
-geometric shapes (angles, edges)
-collage
-fragmentation





Synthetic cubism
- collage
- perception
- imagination
- asymmetrical



Form (Abstract) - Modern Art, Geometry, Creation

- when something comes together in particular form or line
-forms are usually 3-dimensional
-abstracted forms are broken up into series of geometric shapes
-human action
-beginning of Modern Art

Figure (Human Figure) - Proportion, Contour, Fashion

- a shape of the person
- woman's figure always relates to a fashion industry
- perfect proportion

Make a statement using 5 words
5 different statements

- dimensional lines form shapes and figures
adj, n, v, n, n

- Shapes and figures are formed by dimensional lines

- Dimensional shapes and figures are formed by lines

- to shape, a shape, shaping

- to form, a form
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personal (p. o. v)
Historical
Cultural

- 5 images related to 5 words from the statement
- each image 3-5 images related to the word and the image

form - shape - figure - dimension - line
use one as a verb,

- Geometric forms interacting with each other like a group of different personalities.

PABLO PICASSO

- Spanish painter and sculptor
- Cubist movement
- Spanish Civil War
- Creation of cubism
- Beginning of abstract art
- Representation of figures by using several viewpoints
- Synthetic cubism
- Modern Art
- Cubism- use of simple geometrical shapes

Dimension - Shape - Line- Form – Figure

Shape - the outer form of something
Form - something comes together in particular form and line
Dimension - size of something
Figure - a shape of a person
Line - straight, horizontal, vertical, curved

* Straight lines, horizontal and vertical - form shapes
* Spaces between lines form figures and forms
* Some lines are darker and sharper, and some lines are more soft and light

LINE - SHAPE - FORM - FIGURE - DIMENSION

• Lines are used to represent straight objects
• When lines get together, they can make shapes
• Shape is an area enclosed by a line. Each shape and line have dimensions: height and width.
• There are many different kinds of geometric shapes: circles, squares, and triangles. Some of them have straight edges and angles. Line is also a geometric shape. Organic shapes have irregular and curvilinear lines.
• Shape is usually 2-dimensional
• Form is usually 3- dimensional

Picasso said he paints objects as he thinks of them, not as he sees them

-Transition from reality to abstraction

-Dark and light shades

















-Many sharp and edgy geometric shapes

-Figures are analyzed in terms of their shapes

-Some shapes are closer together, some of them are further apart

Picasso's Paintings

"Three Musicians" - figures are broken down into geometric shapes

Three Musicians is an example of Picasso's Cubist style. In Cubism, the subject of the artwork is transformed into a sequence of planes, lines, and arcs. Cubism has been described as an intellectual style because the artists analyzed the shapes of their subjects and reinvented them on the canvas. The viewer must reconstruct the subject and space of the work by comparing the different shapes and forms to determine what each one represents. Through this process, the viewer participates with the artist in making the artwork make sense.

- shapes and forms

Picasso used shapes to depict human bodies

It's a portrait of Pablo Picasso. He is represented by different geometrical shapes which form his figure.

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)

He had a very long and interesting life. So these long lines on the picture represent his years of life, wrinkles on his face.

When I look at his portrait, I see his paintings, his styles, geometrical shapes and figures.
