Outline ofPowerpoint

Design:

-Design- aplanned arrangement of visual elements to construct an organized visual pattern

-Content- theconcept/subject/narrative

-Form- themanipulation of materials and visual characteristics

All designevolves from point/line/plane

Principles- unity, harmony, simplicity, emphasis,focal point, scale, proportion, balance,

                  rhythm

Elements- line, shape/volume/mass, texture,illusion of space, time and kinetics (motion),

                 value/color, virtual space

-analysis-problem solving and communicating an idea

-perception-nature, art history, and culture

-materialexplorations- visual experimentation, process, sketching and building

Comparing 2dimensional and 3 dimensional design:

-2 dimensions-(length and breadth) to establish marks on a flat planar surface, that has nodepth except for the illusionary kind. You can organize visual elements tocreate harmony and unity on a picture plane.

-2 dimensionaldesign- a world of human creation: mark making, drawing, painting,printing(writing), are activities that lead to the formation of the illusion ofspace, aesthetic and intellectual content.

-3 dimensionaldesign- organization of visual elements to create harmony and unity, but inrelation to three design directions:

        -Length- vertical direction, up anddown

        -Breadth- horizontal direction, left toright

        -Depth- transverse direction, forwardsand backwards

    

The world welive in is 3 dimensional

3 dimensionaldesign is defined by x, y, z:

x=depth-transverse direction, forwards and backwards

y=breadth-horizontal direction, left to right

z=length-vertical direction, up and down

Compare andcontrast form in space and organization:

Form in Space-surface and relief, light and shadow, depth of relief, modular structure,

                          spacialrelationships, point of view, form and content, plane and space/

                          volume, interactionand stability, architectural plane

Organization-hierarchal structure, structure and unity, repetition and variety, proportion,

                       continuity, focus andemphasis, economy, implied structure, random

                       change and order,predictability

To understand 3Dobjects, we must view it from different angles and distances to grasp it’sthree dimensional reality. In a continuum of space that you’re enveloped in, wesee: up & down, side to side, what is close, or far away.

Which is moreimportant: Form or Function?

Threedimensional forms in actual and virtual space- 2d-3d/ building a reliefstructure, surface treatment, serial planes, polyhedral structures,surface/edge/vertex, Archimedean solids/interior/exterior relationships,subtractive and additive techniques, stop motion animation of a constructedobject: create virtual time and moving forms

Form inSpace:

Surface andrelief, light and shadow, depth of relief, modular structure, spacialrelationships
