this class has been a blast. literally

here is the rough draft of my final piece.

the colours follow a pattern. bet you can't find it. giving up is okay, it's kinda complicated.

And the other one formerly lost in the ether...

Feast after Famine...

Some technical difficulties prevented me from accessing the software and my files! But I've finally got them.

a new dog can definitely learn some old tricks!

value depreciation

a mix of 35mm, instagram, and D3200 shots! took a hiatus but i didnt miss lots! wanted to keep a variable focal length.

what's the value of value?

Thanks to all those who gave advice on making this image great!

1. This is an example of Geometric Shape because the entire composition is comprised of squares and rectangles of varying size. Other than the text and the blurry content of the negatives, every shape is mathematical and unnatural in appearance. I like how the positive and negative space interplay to crate the inorganic shapes.

2. This is an example of Biomorphic Shape due in part to the whip cream on top of my milkshake. The curving forms created by cream are reminiscent of forms found in nature. Coupled with the frost on the malt cup, I feel this captures biomorphism rather well. 

3. The pictures in this exhibition would make up the Positive Space in my composition.

4. The white space in this picture makes up the Negative Space in the composition.

5. This composition probably took the most time to develop. Looking around the world, it's hard to find things that look like they're well, not of this world. I created these Nonobjective Shapes by crushing sage on my coffee table and combining three overexposed pictures to blow out the wood grain and abstract the sage. Basically a Low-HDR (LOL). Thus, making the objective forms more nonobjective. I was kinda proud of how this image came out.

LINE kampf

My intent for this was a very minimalist, abstract view of say, the ocean. I wanted the lines to create the effect of looking out into an expanse.

All I could think of was, "This would make awesome wallpaper!" Especially if the fluctuation of line width continued throughout the piece. 

The intent for this one was a VERY minimalist, negative space palm tree. My mind was on the beach :) In order to make it more nonrepresentational, I took the "trunk" out to the corner, creating less organic movement through the piece.

This piece was influenced by the weird building I photographed on my line collection walk. I want to take the advice that several offered to expand the line width as they approach the border. This would greatly add to the "zoom" illusion I was going for.

This was my initial alternative to the width expansion. It kinda created a different effect than I was going for, but I still found it interesting.

This is probably my most effective sketch. It's my personal favorite. And would be a pretty wicked wallpaper also. I didn't know at the time, but it is a total homage to Bridget Riley!!

This one, much like the first, was supposed to represent an abstract expanse. This one was much more representational with "sun" setting on the "horizon." I really don't know what the design in the center is, but i liked it enough. 

This is a very rough sketch. It needs obvious cleaning up. For some reason some of my outlines show through the layers. 

This was my final idea conception. I was kinda tapped on ideas that still fit my original theme, so a bulb went off: Instead of implied shapes, do obvious shapes!

I admittedly got lazy, but I still liked the composition my laziness created.

Here are my 10 sketches the order I made them. I experimented with different compositions, but I did try to maintain a central theme. With the exception of #10, every piece is made up of only horizontal and vertical lines. The lines themselves are pretty uniform and vary very little.
