Line drawings






In cyberArts today we had to create two lines drawing one where the lines are the same direction and line type, but only vary in thickness and distance between one anther. The second one can have any lines and can vary in direction,quality, type and position

 My first line drawing shows rhythm because the line cuts into a box at the same spot on each line as if they are identical, I just varied the size and thickness of the lines. The lines almost look like a heartbeat , an repetitive heart beat or different a beat in a song that repeats in the same spot. This works for the first assignment because it is pleasing to the eye and it's the same repeated line just varying in the thickness.

    My second drawing shows rhythum because the lines keep             moving and don't stop, as if they are a continous song playing over and over, but it dosen't get annoying. Also when they overlap it feels like everything is coming together for a brief moment then life will move on. Now I could of chose doing curvy or edgy lines but I felt that plain straight lines going in different directions would attract the eye in the same way. 


Logo Proposal

Logo Proposal

Company names: Dragonfly Design, Dragonfly Interior, Sense of design.

The company I have chosen is Interior Design. I would design the interior of houses, restuarants and condos. I can completely redo a space or ad a few touches to complete a room or space. I would focus on designing the seating and living area of the space but would expand and do kitchens and bathrooms. I can do past, present and future.


Two adjectives that describe the personality and the style of my company are modern and green. So I create comfortable and calm settings with eco-friendly materials that will help cut back are eco footprint. I also harmonize with the environment to make you feel as one with the room.


The animal that I think best describes my company is the dragonfly because they symbolies sense of self, purity,positive forces, strength, harmony and power of life. And what I design makes you feel these things. You feel postive forces keeping you at peace in your home/resturants/Condos.I also feel that dragonflies symbolies freedom and space to live, so I use everything around me to design the room.


I did some research of my competitors and here are three links to these websites:


Celine Interiors - This website was simple, she used the main colors orange and a faded gray. She used simple Ariel Narrow text  so the person looking at her website could understand the text. Although she did use a bold upper case 'C' in orange to get your attention.


Inside Out Design- This website used two of the primary colors, blue and red but used two shades of blue; a light and dark shade. The logo is interesting too because they take a circle and stick a thick line in the middle almost to show a person in the circle, they sandwich the red between the two shades of blue.
These are the main colors used in the whole website and they are used in a way to attract people to there website.


Mackay Wong- This website uses brown, black and white in there logo in an interesting way.The logo is just there  initials  in a square, a simple design, but it attracts the eye . There whole website follows these color and layouts, except she put a strip of red across the top which throws off the color scheme, but it doesn't fully take your attention away.

Art Critique




In CyberARTS today we were given an assignment to critique a piece of art on three things, Imitation Qualities, Formaition Qualities and emotion qualities. I chose A piece of art called "Rain, Steam and   Speed-The great Western Railway" by Turner.   

The painting shows imitation qualities because near the left corner you can see distant detail of the front of a train on a railway coming out of the distance. You can also see a faint design of a bridge almost as if the train has passed the bend, coming out of the vanishing point. The artist has also used the appropriate colors and shades such as the bold black for the train and the mixture of yellow,purple and white to create a somewhat look of an evening sky.

This painting shows formal Qualities because the artist has showed Emphasis on Unity such as the choice of colors, he chose soft colors like yellow and purple and combined it with values and bitter colors such as black, white and brown. The artist has blended the colors as if they are one color. He has also used different brush strokes to Emphasis different textures such as the railway bridge and the sky. The painting also gradually from the left corner to the right corner goes lighter to darker with the shades of colors.

This painting shows emotions and expressive qualities because of the colors the artist chose for example the purple and yellow colors convey a calm emostion for the sky as if to say everything is at peace. The lower half of the page shows anger to display that nobody is at peae. The artist has created a mood for people  so when they look at the art they can feel the peace and anger.
