During this period, I learned a lot about design principles.  I realized the importance of these principles in design and art for a designer or artist.  What did I enjoy the most? My favorite part of this module was analyzing which design principles artworks follow and improving them through my own designs.  What did l not enjoy the most? I didn't have a least favorite part.  Although I encountered many frustrating problems during the design process, I eventually managed to solve them appropriately. What have l learnt about myself through this module? Through this module, I gained a deeper understanding of my artistic style and discovered which artistic styles and design methods s...

We are expected to apply our knowledge of design principles in our idea development and final design. We may use any medium and/or materials, except for full photography, that are suitable to convey our final visual message. I decided to use Improve Design #1 to continue my task 3. Fig.1.1 Improve Design #1 Fig.1.2 Original painting:  'Rain Dove' - Adrienne Stein 2019 8 in  x 10 in  (20.3 cm x 25.4 cm) In this design, I changed the positions of the dove and the character, placing them facing each other. In the original painting, the dove stands on the character's shoulder, but in my design, I moved its position and extended the flower crow...

Selected Artwork Chosen Reason:  I feel a deep connection to the portrayal of women in art. I am not only drawn to external beauty and aesthetics but also eager to capture the inner strength and vitality of women through art. This preference aligns with the core ideas of many art movements and feminist theories. The “charm and power” I perceive in women is actually a recognition of their complexity—they can be gentle yet strong, mysterious yet rebellious. My sense of power in art may come from my admiration for maternal stren...

Elements of Design Point : The simplest element; repetition forms lines, and movement creates shapes. Line : Defines boundaries of shapes, expresses motion or emotion, and can depict light and shadow when grouped. Shape : A two-dimensional area, divided into geometric (regular) and organic (irregular) shapes. Form : Three-dimensional shapes, often used in sculpture and architecture. Texture : The tactile quality or visual representation of surfaces, divided into actual and simulated textures. Space : Can be two-dimensional or three-dimensional, divided into positive (filled) and negative (empty) space. Colour : Determined by light wavelengths, with three properties: hue, value, and saturation. 2. Principles of Design Contrast : Attracts attent...
