Lesson 3 - CUT OUT

Create two DIFFEERENT artworks (A4) using paper cutout and collage techniques. It can be in any color you wish. One artwork should represent BALANCE AND SYMMETRY while another artwork should represent DOMINANCE, SPACE AND WEIGHT.

My theme of this assignment is BRANCH.

Here's my first artwork represent BALANCE AND SYMMETRY

What is this looks like actually? Huh? I also have no idea. My idea just come out in my mind and I did.
Brain? Pompom? Spider? hmmmm..... O.O


Here's my second artwork represent DOMINANCE, SPACE AND WEIGHT



After TUTORIAL, Miss Lisa asked me to place my second artwork onto A3 size black mounting board and gave me a challenge. I accepted her challenge -- CUT OUT THE ORANGE, GREEN AND INDIGO COLOR OF THE RAINBOW to make it more nicer.

But then i felt like my artwork was too simple and empty, so i added some flowers to make the artwork more colorful and nicer.
After stick my paper cutout onto A3 size mounting board,

HERE'S MY FINAL PRODUCT.

Lesson 2 - Rules of thirds and Compostion

The rule of thirds is one of the main "rules" in art and photographic composition and stems from the theory that the human eye naturally gravitates to intersection potints that occur when an image is spilt into thirds. 

In the rule of thirds, photos are divided into thirds with two imaginary lines vertically and two lines horizontally making three columns, three rows, and nine sections in the images. Important compositional elements and leading lines are placed on or near the imaginary lines and where the lines intersect.

RULE OF THIRDS GRID

We were assigned to compose our subject matters in a 6 inches by 9 inches black frame with 1 inch border out of mounting board. I chosen  SHOES as my subject matter. We were required to take 50 photos and choose 30 of the best shots of our chosen subject matter and compile them into a short video which is less than 5 minutes.




















RULES OF THIRDS EXAMPLES


Example of LANDSCAPES


The focus is on the land area rather than the sky so the bottom two-thirds of the photograph are filled with land and the top third is sky.


Example of PORTRAIT


As you can see, the eyes are lined up with the upper horizontal line and each eye is where the upper horizontal line intersects with a vertical line.
