Digital Art “Cubism”

What is Cubism?

In 20^th century “Cubism” art movement was the most influential and to the European (1907-1914). The Cubism was began by two famous artist Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, they were inspired by an African Sculpture made by a Fauvism artist (art movement in French) known as Paul Cézanne and Georges Seurat. “Cubism” can be define as the change viewing of a subject into fixed angle which the subject was broken up into many pieces and had been reassemble in to an abstracted form. This presented the new style of reality painting, which change several aspect of the subject to be shown differently. There are many art movement that was influenced by the Cubism which are Futurism, Ophism, Precisionism, Constructivism, Purism, and Expressionism.There are three phase that is a development of Cubism which is Facet Cubism , Analytic Cubism and Synthetic Cubism.

Facet Cubism : Object had a different point of view or perspective illusion. Using the dramatic conflict of the patterns, lights, and textures.

Analytic Cubism : Using the natural form of the subject to reduce to its basic shape then reconcile essentially in three dimensional part with two dimensional picture plane. The color was subdued making the painting close to a monochrome (one tone color).

Synthetic Cubism : Had been evolute from the Analytic Cubism. It is an artwork that was use for decorative, appealing and can be use to decoration in household. (Famous one liked Picasso “Guitar and Violin”)

Digital art project

Our new unit digital art, we were assign to create a cubism art style using photography we taken at least 16 picture per one art work and we needed to connected them like jigsaw using the gimp program. The artist we study on to create the art similar to him is “David Hockney” the artist who use photography to create a cubism art style. David Hockney work on the art style called “Photocollage” which he take a image with Polaroid camera and connected them together like a jigsaw picture, his aim was to discuss the way human vision works.

My Work

The bear is the first picture I did which is a bear that I have put them together in to one picture, the bear picture worked will because its not overlapping with each other and its only one subject in the picture. On the second picture I change the contrast of the picture with the brightness and the darkness of the picture for it to be separate into many picture. On the third picture I had use the burn tool to make the edge being separate from each other which this make the picture looked more cubism, I think this picture is a good one because there were no overlapping and it looked cubism style also there are 16 picture too!

My second picture was taken in the school it was the playground its my second try picture but its had only about 5 pictures which I couldn’t use it for the final, in this one I think that the picture is to overlapping to much. The first picture is the one that I didn’t change the brightness and the darkness yet, the second I already change them but I didn’t use the burn tool in this one because of its color the burn tool doesn’t work

My third picture was the picture of my K-Pop collection, which in this picture its a mistake becauseI have the picture too overlapped with each other that looked weird but in this picture I did the background which makethe overlapped problem was harder to be seen and the background pulled peoples attention more.

My fourth picture was a taken with the subject of lollipop. Lollipop was one of my favorite candy and it had a bright color which I think it would bring out the subject more. First I think that this picture is not going to work because the picture was overlapping with each other, also this picture is hard to connect with each other at first because it looked to similar to each other. After putting them together I change the contrast of the picture with its brightness and darkness then I use the burn tools. After using the burn tool I found that the picture looked more cubism. I tied to change the background.

My final picture is the picture that I submit to be printed out as a A3 picture sizes. This picture I consider as the hardest picture to be taken because I took the photo of the whole tree at the park my village, which I need to took this picture first by sitting down then started to stand up and then I reach out to the top view as highest as I can so its really hard to be taken. At first I didn’t think that this picture would work, but when I started to put the picture together I found out that its work together well. Then I edit this picture by using the burn tool to burn the edge of the picture so that it can be separate from each other and I rotate some picture to make them fit together, but the picture still looked like the same whole image so I change the contrast color of the brightness and the darkness. But still I don’t like to green grass color at the bottom so I need to make it very dark, from Nearn suggestion I make the contrast more clearly making the dark blue color on the sky which given a cartoonish style. This picture work well because it had the meaning off growth and also I think that its the best picture that I had made in this unit. Next time if I have more time I wanted to improve on the middle part because the color of the sky doesn’t match with the top part which make the picture looked least interesting. There were 18 picture in this cubism but I think I should take some out because its unnecessary and shown only a little bit in the final product.

Tony Orrico以舞生画——达芬奇的维特鲁威人的现代版

发表于 2011-12-20 19:57:54 阅读 836 次 评论 10 条 所属文章分类:

     Tony Orrico生于1979年，是一位与舞蹈艺术密切相关的年轻艺术家。  初看他的作品觉得idea可能来自我们小时候有一套画分形图的工具（玩具），绘制的就是 ICON 类的分形图。通过简单的机械性的重复操作，形成我们难以想象的奇幻效果，这也是一种观念性的艺术形式。

    Tony Orrico就是达芬奇的维特鲁威人的现代版。

    从手臂的舞动中幻化出数不清的繁复黑线。双臂伸展，画出对称的图像，画作的轨迹不同让手臂呈现不同的舞姿，当Tony Orrico停止时，他张开手臂的姿势宛如一只自由翱翔的鸟。

     其实我认为Tony牛的地方在于，他画的不是画，而是他自己，他用自己的身体作画（ps: 运用身体作画的人在现代艺术中也不少，Yves Klein, Pollock 等，都是用地面作为画面来的画作。）但和前人不同的是，他画的是他自己，对艺术有感觉的人不难理解，绘画，雕塑或是完成一个与作者身体和时间有关的作品，但许多的画者都忽略这一点，Tony 在这方面就很有创造力。

     从制作工程来看，他的作品都是在展示现场完成的，也就是说，他的制作过程也是他作品的一部分。因为绘画的过程是比结果更震撼的过程，而在展场直接作画，或者说是¨即兴¨演出，这本身就已经把作品带出了平面绘画的范畴了。

     此外观看他作品的人也是作品的一部分，一方面他在进行弱意识的重复性劳动的同时，在看他作品的我们正在有意识的思索他作品的意义，这本身就是件很有意思的事情，艺术过程的偶发性和不可预料性在这个作品中完美的体现。

Ten Minutes with Artist Laurie Frick

There are many blogs and artist websites that mention other artists they like. When I have time I like to explore some of these links and several months ago discovered Laurie Frick's compelling work. Unfortunately I forgot to bookmark it and a week later could not recall who or where it was, but did not forget what I had seen.

Two weeks ago, I again came upon Ms. Frick's work, and this time did the right thing. Once bookmarked I could return, make contact and share her with you.

Ennyman: You're originally from L.A. How did you end up in both Austin and New York?
LF: Went to graduate school at USC, found high-technology incredibly compelling, moving up the ranks to eventual SVP level. Lived in LA, the Bay Area, Houston and eventually Austin….which is an incredibly fine city. Split time with NY to stay connected to my art-friends and community.

E: When did you first become serious about following a creative life
path? How did this happen?
LF: Quit my job, and began an art education in early 2003. Went to NY and graduated with an MFA in 2007.

E: Who were your early influences?
LF: Ambroglio Lorenzetti, early 14th century painter in Sienna, Italy.

E: Whose work inspires you today?
LF: Sooooo many. Still Lorenzetti, and am drawn to non-art sources, mostly in neuroscience.

E: And where IS the line between art and neuroscience?
LF: Both are fueled by the suggestion of an idea, or an hypothesis that needs to be tested and slowly proven. Both begin with the hope of an idea that will eventually be proven or tossed aside.

E: What is the relationship between your ink/watercolor drawings and your sleep patterns? That is, are you striving for some kind of literal brain activity mapping here or is it more nebulous? Is it some form of
diary?
LF: There is a direct relationship of the data gathered from nightly sleep data, and the watercolor drawings. The data is rigorously followed, where the wood cut pieces begin to bring in the element of chance.
