Photos Reflection Journal

dgriffin2260's library on Photobucket The process for completing this project was rather tedious and somewhat confusing at times the idea of a project where you have to create photos using the composition and principles of design did bring me some joy though. To begin the project I made diagram of each of the elements and principles respectively and jotted down some shot possibilities under each that could \work for them then I chose a few different locations where I could find each of the shots. For the balance shot I drifted from my car towards Hotel Henry in search of framing something symmetrically and I was honestly quite surprised as inched closer towards the building and stepped into the intersection to see how the unique the architecture of the building made capturing it difficult. For my shape shot, I had seen some photos online of people shooting through benches so as I traveled towards the hotel garden I eased up close to the benches with my camera and knelt level wi...

Art Gallery Visit Responses: In the Art Gallery there was a section to the far back on the first floor specifically for various works of pieces titled Shark Girl: Never Quite There by Casey Millard. The selections of work were all unique and artistic and their own right but I found the subject of a Shark girl to be highly disturbing.

Another piece I thought was impressionable was Vincent Van Gogh, La Maison de la Crau (The Old Mill).

Richard Anuszkiewicz's Convex, Concave 1 Dimensional is a work that was completely in 1967. The cube was created with  Lacquered...

Module #7 Video Review

1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned. In The Science of Design film some of the key concepts that I grasped were influence of scientific factors on the construction of buildings i.e, wind, precipitation, gravity, etc. also the video discussed the evolution of a very significant substance used in construction, concrete. As for the  Architecture as Art  video some significant elements I discovered was Frank Gehry was a dynamic architecture from Canada who's style was varied and his work was very connected to him emotionally and this had a huge impact on his creations. 2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text? Chapter 13 of the textbook discusses several different methods of construction and each play a role in architecture and I think one connection we see in  The Science of Design  film is the discussion of concrete both mediums make reference to concrete and its ever growing uses in architecture.  Architecture as Ar...
