Initial sketch ideas

-

 These are some fast initial sketches I drew in class for our major project. Most of the sketches were inspired by different future movies, and 1-2 sketches were ideas that came from my practice sketch-up lessons where I was randomly creating a building or inspired visions by other artists like architect Norman Foster and his futuristic designs. Since these were quick first ideas they will be developed in upcoming posts and with a clearer vision of which idea I will be choosing.

    And....? What were you trying to do with these? I think you need to add to this post with text on your aims with these drawings. Also, maybe make some more? This is the very first stage, pick up on one of these ideas and develop it!!

Week 3 Further Research - Wassily Kandinsky

-
Image
Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian painter and art theorist and he is considered one of western art's forefathers of abstraction. He took painting studies in his 30s after completing his studies for law and economics. He was fascinated by colours, colour symbolism, and psychology from a young age and he traveled to the "Vologda region north of Moscow" as a part of an "ethnographic" research group, where the artworks and buildings he found there with shimmering and bright colours on dark backgrounds made him feel like he was moving in a painting, which inspired him in his early work.  His abstract work developed over time through his intense thinking on his artistic experiences, "inner beauty", "fervor of spirit" and "spiritual desire inner necessity" were central aspects of his art.  His interest in abstraction started when one day he went home to find one of his paintings hanging upside down which he stared at for some time. He was al

 This is my process of creating my boards for my final art portfolio project, using Photoshop.  First I created a new document by clicking on 'New File', then 'print', 'A3', and chose the landscape mode. after my page was open I went on 'Unsplash' to find a related background.  Then I clicked on 'File' that's at the top left corner, 'open' and 'on your computer' and chose the image that I downloaded.  After that, I selected the image with the 'rectangular marquee' tool which is the first icon on the left toolbar and then clicked on 'edit', 'copy' and then went to my first page, clicked on 'edit' again and pasted it. Then from the right tool bar I lowered the opacity to 40% which is located at the 'layers' category.  Then I followed the same steps with uploading my concept image and arranged the size and placement by clicking on the 'move' tool and then clicking on 'show trans

Week 5 further research

 In week 5 of planning, I'm doing some more research. Today I'm researching Rem Koolhaas, a Dutch architect who is known for his gravity-defying structures. His innovative and futuristic style has been setting standards for years, he thinks that "Terms like city, street, identity, and architecture are things of the past. The past is too small to live in". One of his famous works is the "De Rotterdam" building, this is a multifunctioning building, (a great work to look up to since my project revolves around multifunctional requirements as well), he describes his work as a "vertical city".                                                                                      The De Rotterdam  This building is located  at  Wilhelminapier in Rotterdam, he designed it in 1998 and it started at the end of 2009 and was finalized at the end of 2013. The stacked buildings of the De Rotterdam are organized in a subtly uneven cluster that resists unifying into
