Digital Imagery - Color and Form (Using Photoshop Suit)


Digital Imagery



With the help of Digital Cameras and Photoshop Suit, my students create great art pieces, demonstrating excellent use of the program and using to the max the photos taken with a very regular camera. 



We are looking at:
  Direccion
  Depth
  Repetition
  Contrast
  Form
  Color
  Use of the Space

Students are to be aware and understand:
  Pixels (pictures elements)
  Color Gradation
  RGB
  Dimensions (expressed by pixels)
  Resolution (PPI - Printing good)

Students study and applied depth - perceiving these depths through shapes in order to keep viewers vision active. Seeing means grasping some outstanding features of objects,
like; the color of the sky, the curve of the long tree, the rectangularity of the object to the right, and so on. 

Depth comes from the correct use of the Principals of Art and Design. Through the manipulation of size, hue, focal points, gravity, hierarchy, and repetition. Now, the clever part here is to be completely aware of the space, an electronic flat space has really different characters than a piece of paper. 

Visual Solutions can be "practical" or "pragmatical" and in the majority of the cases, the good cases, you have both working sides by side.




The cameras were quite simple, although the picture has to be adequate for the task in mind, the manipulation has to happen by the correct use of the program.





The Color and Shapes
Expanding space in the search for depth




Students learn to use form and color
creating contrast and the power of the lines
in order to create an imaginary 3D art piece




Images are to be clean, 
balance with or without asymmetrical precision.
Controlling the chaos and inviting the viewer to the story.

Learning Color with The Masters - The Opposite or Complementary Colors

Applying one Layer at a time Color by color and layer by layer, students craft their work. My student chooses a work from the Masters of Impressionism, and it will go this way: 1. The student prepares the canvas using Gesso to seal and prime the canvas before the oil is applied. The gesso should be toned down; this way, the canvas doesn't lose its texture, and the oil will run smoothly. Also will protect the canvas from deterioration; the oil will ruin the canvas quite fast if it has not been primed. 2. The student draws the artwork carefully, soft lines divide each color and each object. Students are not allowed to use a grid; they only find the middle point by drawing an "X"  across the canvas, then drawing. It is very important to learn to look closer, to see the distance and locations correctly, to conquer and own the space and what lives in it.  3. Look closer to the color wheel. Students look at the colors with caution, making note of h...

Percepciones Significativas en La Visualización del Arte y el Diseño - Parte 2nd

Percepciones Significativas en La Visualización del Arte El hacer, poner, cambiar, modificar, distribuir, crear o edificar en o sobre cualquier espacio. Parte 2 Fuerzas Psicológicas - El Orden Entre tu espacio y los elementos artísticos  que se disparan de tu mente ¿Qué controlas y no controlas? La Influencia del pasado, el azar y lo creado Conectamos cualquier forma o figura con memorias visuales que, repetidas durante nuestras vidas, se acumulan en una memoria implícita, más exactamente en los ganglios basales y el cerebelo. Elaboramos nuestro trabajo creativo de la misma manera, conectando esas formas, figuras, colores y más, a esas memorias implícitas que mantenemos en nuestro cerebro; algunas veces con conciencia y otras ocurren sin darnos cuenta. Préstamos imágenes de todas partes y repetimos constantemente las historias y anécdotas de nuestra inmediata circunferencia.  Aunque existen muchísimos más elementos en el  vasto campo de la visión que esos que mantenemos e...
