Group Project

For my idea, I thought we could take various items from nature like flower petals, rocks, and leaves and make them into a flower shape to kind of symbolize what makes up all of nature.

Emotive Lines

These lines symbolize happiness and joy.

Different Color/Same Color

Kimono

This kimono is using contrasting colors in its design- purple and white. By using contrasting colors, the flowers on the kimono either blend in with the white or stand out against the purple.

Money as Art

I thought this was a cool piece of art because they made flowers out of the money. I also like how the money is pink because then it makes me think of cherry blossoms.

Synesthesia

This is consider sound-color synesthesia. To me, it looks like it almost represents chaos is occurring and there is so much noise because of how everything is scattered randomly. 

Money Design

I enjoy seeing all the different kinds of currencies in the world. I actually collect some but it isn't a huge collection. After searching through the internet, I think my most favorite one that I have seen is the Romanian currency for 1 Million Lei from 2003 from what I have read. It is very beautiful because of the purple flower that is on the front of the currency. The colors that are used for the actual currency makes it really pretty, too. I couldn't find much information on the reason for the certain images on the currency like the masks but none the less, it is still quite intriguing. I would love to acquire this currency to put in my collection because it could possibly be my favorite one.

Chuck Close

I love this painting of his because after I saw it being made during the video on Tuesday, it looked even better. When he first started, I thought it was going to be entirely made out of all those bright colors but then he started adding darker and skin tone colors. It surprised me a lot to see how he did that. I thought it was difficult doing paintings like that, square by square, but he does a fantastic job. 

Repetition of Form

Repetition is used her to convince people to buy this perfume/cologne by making the crocodile scales look like hearts for their Valentine's Day special. When I saw this, it actually did make me want to go buy one because it is very beautiful executed.

Gestalt 2

This is the logo of the company for one of my spiral notebooks and it seems like it kind of displays Gestalt's principle of continuation. Each letter sort of flows on to the next one as it goes down.

Andy Goldsworthy

I really like this image because the way the leaves are placed actually makes it look like it was already sitting like that besides the little hole in the middle. I also like the contrast between the colors of the leaves and the rest of the area.

Unity - Gestalt

This image below is representative of one of the many Gestalt Principles. The principle that is being expressed in this image is proximity. The fifteen human figures put closely together makes the whole image look like a tree.

This piece, called Rain Garden II, is very unique. When I look at it, it looks to me like a garden full of different kinds of fruits and vegetables. I can never get tired of looking at this piece of artwork because there are so many different shapes to observe within the whole piece. It is said that she creates her work by using things that people would normally throw out and brings new life to them that wasn't intentionally made to be.
