In this module, I came into contact with the concept of design principles and learned different design principles, such as contrast, emphasis, balance, symmetry, repetition and so on. While appreciating the works of art, I began to consciously analyze the various design principles displayed in the picture, explore the techniques in the picture and think about what the author really wants to express and express through the works of art itself. This kind of thinking is very meaningful. We can exercise our artistic appreciation ability and deepen our understanding of different design pri...

In this task, I will choose one of the three sketches with different compositions as my final sketch. Because the original picture doesn't have a clear focus, all the three compositions I drew give the picture a relatively obvious focus, so it seems that there may be some big changes. I think the content in the second composition picture is the richest. After my consideration, I chose the second sketch. my sketch in task 2 On the basis of this draft, I began to create this complete final task. According to the second draft I drew, I drew the general position of the plant first, and then I will continue to draw on this layer. Because its function is simply to de...

Points used as repetitive markers can form a line. When a point moves in space, other 2D and 3D graphics and forms can be created. B. Line There are many kinds of lines, such as active or static, active or passive, emotional or mechanical. Lines can indicate the direction, define the boundary between shape and space, and imply volume or solid mass, movement or emotion. The quality of light and shadow can also be described by grouped lines, and patterns and textures are formed. C. Shape A wide area within the outline of a two-dimensional area or within a three-dimensional object can be called a shape. Shapes become visible when one or more lines surround an area, or when obvious changes in brightness, color or texture separate an area from its surroundings. Shapes are divid...
