Crayon Rubbings
Goals of the assignment
I think the goal of the assignment was to see how the different colors and the way you overlapped the different text and symbols reacted to each other. Another thing is to know when your images are overlapping and how they change with the different images you put in the project.
New skills learned
Some of the things that I learned during the crayon rubbing project is how scanning is suppose to be done and that scanning and almost everything that we use or see today uses RGB colors. I also learned the 3 things that affect the file or image that you also have to look out for. Also the 3 things to be aware when saving a file.
My crayon rubbings critic
This first crayon rubbing piece is composed of really bright but similar colors. The texture that cover the page is really patchy and green. The text I chose was of the AWC Gallery which I chose to rub it with the color yellow which is also very bright which I liked. and the final image is of the wheelchair symbol which is located in the restrooms. I enjoy very bright colors and that is why I chose those types of colors. The patchy texture that I put as the background is the side of a trash can which was made up of glued rock to the side of the bin. The AWC Gallery text was the sign that was of the front door of that room and that room really intrigued me to go inside and that is why I chose it. The last image was the wheelchair symbol for the mens restroom and I chose it because accessibility is really important to me.
The second crayon rubbing pieced I made I used some really bright and a sort of dark color. I just now notice that the colors which I used are RGB which is the things that we are learning in class at the moment of writing this blog, so I think that was just crazy. Well the green was a more darker green but it is still green. The texture that I chose was the table of a bench which was made up of wood and it was old and cracked so it made me interested in seeing how it was going to transfer to the paper. The text that I chose was the number 115 and I chose it because it brings me memories of a video game I always play which depicts that number as a big part of the storyline. The third image I chose was the symbol for the males restroom and I chose it simply because I'm a male.
I used Arturo's fist crayon rubbing to do a critique as follows:
ReplyDeleteThis piece of artwork uses three different colors: green, yellow and orange. It uses bright colors overall. There is a green texture over the whole page. A lot of the white background is showing thru which creates a distinctive texture to the page. There are words in yellow in the middle of the page. You can make out “AWC” and “gallery”. Some of the writing is not quite clear. There is an orange handicap symbol in the middle of the page, overlapping the yellow words and green background texture. The words in yellow are not completely clear which tells me the intent was not about communicating these specific words. The handicap symbol does stand out clearly so my impression is that this is an important element. The green texture could be a representation of grass or nature in general. Overall this artwork has a cheerful feeling due to the bright colors. I could make a guess that this artwork is meant to be a representation of a place intended for people with a handicap. Perhaps something that might be displayed in garden or park setting.
