Critical Task
Here are some of my favourite illustrations from the presentation and critical task of the visual language session pertaining to frame...
Image 1 by Dadu Shin: Angular composition; cold colours of muted purple and bluish highlights with one singular eye-catching spot of pink above the figure. Point of interest. Angular shadow draws us down towards the figure. Bottom-heavy composition gives a sense of calm, still and silence. Staring at a wall, waiting for something to happen. Intriguing composition that works well, challenging what the hand-out says about compositional objects falling to the bottom of the image.
Image 2 by Tatsuro Kiuchi: Bottom heavy again, which is a compositional technique I really like. Diagonal lines push the eye down towards the market stall. Broken up into thirds; two thirds red expanse, one third shadowy information. The lighter colours in the bottom third of the image contrast nicely against the intense red in the other two thirds. My eye is drawn to the bottom-right where the shadows dance on the objects.
Image 3 by Tatsuro Kiuchi: Symmetrical! Value and saturation much more prominent in the front of the painting. Warm colours and the most information taking up one third of the image with the other two thirds being cold colours with expanse of area. One singular figure breaks up the symmetry instantly becoming the focus.
