Frame of Frames.

-

 


This week I wanted to use natural, passive framing. I wanted to use typical items as framing for the images to showcase how everyday items work in conjunction with each other to showcase beauty. The images below are all images that I feel showcase that statement. There are sharp lines and clear cut-off parts of each image that help act as the border. “a border is the frontier between inside and outside, marking the edge of a territory” (Lupton & Phillips 125).).The center is the focal point but the framing helps give it context and familiarity. the natural borders in these images help empathize what is meant to be seen.  “A-frame can serve to either emphasize or downplay its contents” (Lupton 25).




The frame here is the literal window frame itself showcasing the beautiful sunrise.

The outlining of the closet in this image acts as a structural framing for the image. The center and focal point being the two people inside. 

This image is a reversal of the theme, a culmination of literal frames. Doesn't directly fit in with framing per se but I do like how given the context it is a display of a frame, within a frame, within a frame.


In this image, the ceiling of the porch is so structured and sharp that it works in conjunction with the grass to form the perfect frame. Even tho simple, this is one of my favorite photographs. 

All photos by me on Instagram.

    I really liked the first picture! I think the dark frame enhances the colors from the sunset and does a good job of bring the attention to it.

 This week I had a difficult time coming up with something that could adequately fit the theme. I initially tried drawing abstract images that really captured the essence of ambiguity so much so that I myself didn't even know how to interpret it. I didn't really resonate with the images and found myself feeling uninspired by them.      I decided to try and pursue the themes and goals of this week in what I love; food. These three images both resonated with me and were able to touch upon some of the themes and techniques mentioned in the reading. "All things exist in interactions with other things." ( Lupton/Phillips 98)                                         This image utilizes the concept of negative and positive space, with the white background being the negative space and the toast and fruit being the figure and foreground. It also utilizes the six models of grouping, the fruit implies similarity and simplicity, proximity is represented by the arrangement of the f

      I am a chronically future-oriented person. Every element of my life has been meticulously mapped out since the age of 5. The COVID-19 pandemic forced me to rewrite, reshape, and replan my own narrative. Living in the present was something that always felt far-fetched and outlandish to me. With the 6-month long quarantine forced upon all of us, I was involuntarily required to press the pause button on the rollercoaster-ride that is my life. With these hours spent in solitude, I developed a deeper understanding of myself. With that understanding of self came a whole new level of appreciation and gratitude for things I had always taken for granted. Community, relationships, media, art, and health were all elements of everyday life that I developed a new profound love for. With art being the main focus for this class, of course, I am eager to share what inspires, moves, and comforts me. This blog will be a cumulation of all things I have learned to love now that I have stopped to sme

  “diagrams can depict the anatomy of a creature, the hierarchy of a corporation, or the flow of ideas” (215)           As someone that studies marine biology, diagrams are often utilized to showcase the relationships between organisms and their structure and function. For this weeks theme I wanted to showcase the relationship between fish and coral and how they live  harmoniously under the sea. I wanted to make more of an artistic diagram rather than a factual/educational one so I obtained inspiration from a post stamp. The post stamp I used I thought was fun and showcases my favorite coral; elk horn coral.  ( Image source ) I chose to recreate the image on the furthest left, with the black fish and orange coral.  I used an app called procreate to recreate this image. Here is my rendition:  Had a really fun time making this diagram. Follow my  Instagram  for more.
