ABSTRACTION LINE OF A NATURAL OBJECT - FALL 02 -

Haziran 03, 2019
by

Exploration of the essence of a natural object (i.e. fruit or vegetable) through a set of representations that create an abstraction line from realistic to abstract. The exercise involved slicing the object to explore its skins, solids, voids, layers, thicknesses, textures, and colours.

The abstraction line consisted of minimum 7 maximum 14 A4 sheets, of:

Photographs

Realistic Sketches

Analysis of Basic Elements (i.e. point, line, plane, volume) and Visual Aspects (i.e. shape, size, colour, texture)

Geometrical Analysis to explore relations between constituent elements (i.e. directions, positions, proportions, dimensions, axi, centers).

Main Characteristic(s) of the Object based on size, colour, shape, form, texture, density, etc. expressed by a motto.

Abstraction through elimination of details, reduction and simplification to isolate the Essential Formal Properties of the Physical Object

Goals to Achieve:

Development of representation skills

Development of abstraction skills

Improvement of visual sophistication

Method:

Taking Photographs

Production of 2D Sketches

Production of 2D Analytic Drawings

Semi-abstract B&W, Colourful compositions on the basis of the analysis in the Abstraction Line to convey an idea related to the analysed natural object by employing a selected composition principle, i.e.:

asymmetry / balance / centrality / continuity / contrast / difference / dominance / emphasis / equality / harmony / hierarchy / linearity / radiality / repetition symmetry / unity

Goals to Achieve:

Development of representation skills

Development of abstraction skills

Improvement of visual sophistication
