Motion.

-

 “Motion is a kind of change, and change takes place in time. Motion can be implied as well

as literal...” (Lupton 233).



For this weeks theme I wanted to take images that literally felt like they were alive and moving. 


To me, motion in photographs can best be seen when taking a photo lights. In this image I went to a shopping plaza near my house and gently shook my phone while taking the image. It gives the photo an accidental effect while still having it be interesting and capture your attention.
This image was taken in a moving car which definitely gives a moving effect. It feels as though you too are moving while looking at the buildings in downtown Boston. Again, I was drawn to utilizing lights in capturing motion. I like how they have a fuzzy/blurry look to them when not captured still. 


This is an older image from august but im throwing it in here because again I feel like this truly capture motion. You can make out what it is but the natural motion induced blur creates interest and depth.

    Although accidental, I love the feelings these pictures give. I find it brings more of the fun out.

 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.
