Making the accordin book was truly an extrodinary experience. At first when this project, I felt as if I would failed, probably the reason why I thought this way was, because I didn't really have an understanding of how to incorporate the elements and principles correctly. Though throughout the process of making the book I then learned to proper way to incorporate the elements and principles. I am still having mix feelings on my book, but overall I am happy of how I pace my time abd throughly completed the book. Next time though I would try to use an array of color that corresponds to the color wheel.

I found this handmade book interesting, because this book is made out of polymer clay.  Not paper, but clay. You also see that the covers of this book appears to display texture, as you can see it may resemble wood. .The lines seems to arrange in a way that gives a sense of pattern. The best thing though is the black hole near the opening of the book that acts as a distachment of a door knob missing this seems kind of cool, because it shows that the artwork is not completely perfect and shows "creative flaws".

Blatt, Gloria    Sunsets Go By

In this painting Gloria Blatt corporates various element and primciples. The main elements she incorporates is line and shapes. She places dark lines on various parts of the painting to show how the vivid color of the dark stands out on different bright colors. In my opnion she probably did this to demonstrate how darkness is following over the sun, becuase if you notice no dark lines are place upon the shape that appears to be the moon .The artist also incorporates some principles. The ones that seem to stand out the most is balance,unity, and emphasis. The main type of balance in my opion is symmetrical balance due to the fact that all parts of the painting are similar in size and the shapes seem to be the same size. Emphasis and unity is place upon the dark black lines and the golden suns. The artists in my opnion is trying to convey that although darkeness is falling over the sun at sunsee there are still some form of light being emitted by the sun. That is why the black lines are not completely covering the suns.


Questions: 1. Why do you incorpaorate 3 suns and one moon?
                 2. Why are the suns in 3 different positions?
                 3. Why do you place the moon in the middle, should't be at the end to show sequence of the events when the sun sets forth down into the horizon?

In this painting the painter is using various forms of elements and principles of art to convey his experssion. The elements that I see the author use is line and shape. You can see the artist use the element of line to distinguish the ripple effect of the water. This then brings out the principle of movement, because the lines made by the artist seem to make the water move. Another element the artist exprees is the element of  shape. The shape the artist expresses most is triangles. If you look closely you can see that the shape of the mountains in the background seem to show another element, which is form. The mountains seem to be 3-D.  The final prinicple the artist seems to proclaim is proportion. The boats seem that they can be the same sizes, but because they areach spaced out in between them, the closer they to the viewer from th picture the bigger, but the ones nearear to the back seems to be smaller in shape.
