Post #7 "My little Accordion Book" =D

In my little Accordion Book all the elements and principles come together as a team.
I've learned several things about the process of book making. This experience has taught me that bookmaking takes patience, creativity, and enthusiasm.
Several things were very fun but the thing I enjoyed the most was the process, as well as the experience I gained from it. Let me not forget that I really enjoyed being able to combine several shapes, colors, and lines to form my creation.
The thing I found most challenging was creating my poem because I'm not very poetic and having to include the 14 words of the 7 principles and elements was a very difficult task as well.
If I was to create another book I would take my time and use both my experience and creativity to go beyond what I created in my last book! :)

This book caught my attention for several reasons. First of all, its an accordion book, just like the one we've been working on in art. The way the book falls into place was also very intriguing. But, I'd have to say the drawing of what seems to be a tree brought this handmade book to a closure. I admire the creativity and the work that the artist put to complete this. I'd say a job well done!(:

Christmas Art: Picasso Nativity


This painting caught my attention by the various colors, lines, and shapes that are used together in order to form unity. The colors and their intensity make the drawing stand out some more. The lines, and various shapes help create texture, and some type of movement as well. I think the artist is trying to show how colors, and shapes can come together in a unique way. If I could ask the artist anything it would be: What was the motivation behind this picture?

mandala:
Yab Yum (Tibetan Buddhist symbol of cosmic wholeness)

The image shown above caught my attention due to several things. The principles and elements of art played a key role toward the importance of my choice in this image. The elements I chose were color, and line. Color because it en focuses on the three elements of color as well such as the hue, intensity, and value. There are different colors, that range in intensity. I also chose line because there are lines coming out from the image, to show some type of movement. Now when it comes to the principles of art I chose emphasis and unity. This image emphasizes a lot on colors, as well as the image in the center showing a man and a woman expressing their "love" for each other. Lastly, unity brings all the elements and principles to complete the image, and make it much more meaningful.
