Geometrical Composition And Design

Rosemarie Fiore

'"Good-Time Mix Machine: Scrambler Drawings" I connected a gas generator and air compressor to buckets of paint and secured them into the seats of a Scrambler amusement park ride. Once the ride was in motion, paint sprayed out of the benches onto vinyl tarps placed underneath. The result is a series of enormous hypocycloid designs which recorded the hidden patterns created by the ride as it turned.' 

Andy Gilmore

I am looking at geometry and patterns for my self directed image brief and I came across
this man, Andy Gilmore. He looks a lot and into detail at the forming of pattern and shapes within in his work, I also like the choice of colour he uses.

Shannon Rankin

 

'In my work I create installations, collages and drawings that use the language of maps to explore the connections among geological and biological processes, patterns in nature, geometry and anatomy. Using a variety of distinct styles I intricately cut, score, wrinkle, layer, fold, paint and pin maps to produce revised versions that often become more like the terrains they represent.'


What I like about this is the shapes that are formed within the shapes of the circle,
and that it is a handmade piece of design. The time and work to make this is impressive.

Drawing Machine

 

'Drawingmachine is a construction involving two pendulums, each suspended from a tower construction and connected through "drawing arms" and moveable joints. A ballpoint pen resting on a drawing surface covered with paper is mounted at the point where the pendulums come together. The pendulums are set in motion by hand, and their movements are represented on the paper. The movements of the pendulums affect the entire room, and the experience engages the beholder's body. While the rhythmic repetitions cause the beholder to pause, the drawing emerges on the paper.'

This is a method I can explore when looking at how geometric shapes can be drawn, 

it is like a giant spirograph which is also something I am going to look at. I could use

something like this on a smaller scale to create my drawings.

Eye Charts

For this weeks brief we have to produce an eye chart f the object we have been given, I have bottles, I have looked at already existing eye charts, some conventional and some not so, this will help me decide on the layout for my eye chart.

These illustrations by Steve Harrington stood out to me, they are all illustrated but built up like a college, which is a way I'd like to work for this brief.
