Week 14
Poster for a Cause: I have chosen the group Equality Now as the group that I'd like to focus on and their work in woman's rights, especially those of human trafficking. The piece of art called "Broken" was created by Antony Micallef who created this for an art project called "Journey" bringing awareness to the Sex Trafficking of girls. This is currently touring in the UK.
After completing my final project and solidifying the logo, I recreated the poster. Here it is with some modifications:

Week 13
My Color Wheel:
I have done this test in another class before. I thought I had done very well the first time, but didn't. This time, I took a different approach, and it was much easier! Fun test!

Week 11_2
ILLUSION OF SPACE:
1. Amplified Perspective. This is when the image is pointed directly at the view, so the image is not the 'typical' angle. A dynamic quality is held by these images. One of my favorite artists is Juan Francisco who draws many pictures with amplified perspective, and all with a bic pen: Here are some examples and then one image with a person in it to give you a better idea of size. 
1. Equivocal Space. There is no clear spatical pattern, and this ambiguity is what defines the equivocal space. I feel like i see this frequently in photographs, but not as often in painted or drawn art. I found an example of each:
3. Open Form. The open form is when an artist has given only a partial glimpse of a scene that then would continue beyond the format. There are very clear examples, but I chose one that I liked. At first was going to be a closed form, but the more I looked at it, there is no defined rectangular format, and has no contained feeling. The paint lines extend outward away from the duck. This piece is a linocut print by Kate Nydam Meberg.
ILLUSION OF MOTION
2. Multiple images. This photograph is by Eliot Ellisofon.
There is a suggestion of movement because of these multiple images. There is slight change in the successive position of these overlapping images.

1. Blurred Outlines: This image was taken 
from Smashing Magazine. This illusion of motion is done with our interpretation of a photograph or painting that has blurred outlines as a symbol of movement. When there is movement in out vision, it isn't seen as accurately, and we see a blur. The edges are blurred and we lose some of the detail. I love this picture, the subject is actually the thing that isn't as blurred. A little different take on it- the back ground is moving, and the fur on this pups head!

3. Figure Cropped
This image by Darin Mcquoid is a great cropped example. This is a way to express motion by using the composition effectively to give the suggestion of motion. In this picture, the image is cropped so that the kayak is in the lower right corner pointing slightly left to follow the flow of the river. The way it is cropped give the viewer a feel of tipping forward as the kayak is about to fall.
Week 11_1
The first I chose is aerial perspective, or atmospheric perspective. I thought of using a photograph since mountains are a great way to show this perspective, but instead thought it might be interesting to try and find it in a painting. 
This Painting is by Micheal Arnold. This perspective uses color to show depth. There is clear value contrast between what is distant and what is closer. Although these aren't traditional colors, I think this artist was able to create depth with his use of color.
My next image is my example of Overlapping in this image by Gwenda Kacz. Overlapping is a simple way to create depth by laying elements on top of each other. The overlapping shows their relationship to each other.
This is the image I chose for Anticipated motion. I think the image speaks for itself- the anticipated motion would be the hitting of the child.
I found this photograph at an organization for children by youth:
I at first got this image assuming it was figure repeated, but I don't think it follows the guidelines close enough.

I also am not sure it fully falls into multiple image, since the requirement of this is overlapping sequence. Although not overlapping, I believe this may fall into the category of multiple images.
