Goal Analysis > Structure

brain functions mind map paul foreman Brain Functions
Structure Goal Concept:


Designing is creating conceptual and visual unity by giving order to diverse but interrelated and interdependent parts.  


Access Prior Knowledge:

“The elements of structure are the minute individual parts of forms, and therefore unable to stand up by themselves; they are of value only as part of the structure-forming arrangement and as they contribute to the total structural identity.  Structure is a dynamic texture of non-autonomous parts.” ~ Reinhold Pfenning

In groups, in the comment section, respond to...

Group 1: Define 'giving order to'
Group 2: What does diverse but interrelated and interdependent mean?
Group 3: Explain 'contribute to the total structural identity.'
Group 4: Hypothosize the meaning of 'Structure is a dynamic texture of non-autonomous parts.'

As an individual, in the comment section, respond to...

Analyze and interpret how Reinhold Pfenning's quotation reiterates, in other words, restates the Goal Concept. (Both are saying relatively the same thing - what or how.)

Contour Line - Ingredients used by the Artist

Contour Line Figure Drawing

Studio Challenge:


Contour Line Figure Drawing

Concept: Contour lines follow the edges of shapes and clearly define the various volumes and parts of the whole form.
Catalysts: Describe, Record

Studio:
-Fold 2 papers to make eight (8) sections.
-Draw a boarder near the edge of each section.
-Arrange a person in a dynamic posture.
-Develop an understanding based on touch.
-Remember the ‘blind contour’ drawing of your hand.
-Keeping your eye on the figure, start with any edge, and follow the contours of the figure with a continuous, contour line.
-Try not to lift your pencil off the paper.

-Try to feel that you are not just looking at but are also touching the figure with your moving pencil.

Reflection Tutorial - Pixlr

Creating a reflection using Pixlr.



Step one: Open an image or add text to blank canvas

Step two: Duplicate the image layer or text layer 
if its a text layer you must rasterize the duplicated layer

Step three: Flip the duplicate layer vertically

Step four: Lower the opacity of the duplicated layer and drag it to wherever you want it

Step five: Using a soft eraser, wipe away the parts of the reflection you don't want. I used a brush with a diameter of 200 and a hardness of 50. I would stick with any brush that has a hardness of less than fifty and a diameter of 100 or up
