I want to retract what I said about one of my projects. The one where I thought I would receive at least a 95. I didn't get what I expected. I don't even want to talk about it. Just that wiping the glue off with a moist towel didn't work because he could still see a mess. It wasn't that messy but I guess he could see the mistakes. I am so upset. I am working extra hard on my project for Dominance. And soon I will post my movie poster from my Computer Graphics class.

I am so tired of doing the same thing everyday. School-Chores-Work-Homework-School-Chores-Work-Homework. I definitely need to get away...

This is not the finished product but it is close to it. I added a couple more triangles on the side. I could say that the types of balance in here could be: asymmetrical: its not the same on both sides but it still looks balanced overall. axial symmetry: the two sets of smaller circles are the same on both sides and they have a center point. There is horizontal and vertical symmetry with background. And I think the two big circles are asymmetrical because the white lines don't match up exactly. So I know that it is not actual symmetry.

But I put my blood into this project literally. I cut my finger on the xacto knife. I was bleeding all over the place and tried hard not to bleed on my project. I really hope he doesn't notice the blood stains on there. I better get at least a 95% on this because my last project grade had me kind of upset.

Speaking of my last project: Harmony, Variety, Rhythm

 

I received a 77 on it! Can you believe that? It sucks. I spent hours cutting out these circles. But my design didn't have enough variety and I was still practicing cutting out shapes. It was still a bit messy because there was little traces of glue.

But I have tip: If you end up with traces of glue. Lightly wet your gray scale with water and gently wipe with a paper towel and it cleans up the glue nicely.

 

I am also taking Computer Graphics 1. I have to remember all the things I learned during the week because I only take this class one day a week.

Balance

I am hard at work. Trying to think of how to design 3 types of balance in layers on top of each other.
I have rearranged the shapes so many times.

Types of Balance:

Horizontal and Vertical Symmetry
Occult Asymmetrical Balance
Axial Symmetry
Diagonal Symmetry

Drawing out the shapes and tracing them on to Gray scale paper.

This was one of my first ones. I was trying to do diagonal symmetry, axial symmetry and occult symmetry.

Same thing but I ended up cutting out little circles. They were supposed to look like angry birds shouting at each other.

OK, still brainstorming. I think this will be my final design. I wanted to cut a lighter piece of gray scale for the background and cut it diagonally. But I kept messing it up. I guess I measured the 8 inch square wrong because it was supposed to be perfectly diagonal. I remember the directions said the three balances had to be layers on top of each other. So this is me layering. This time I tries to do axial symmetry, radial symmetry, and diagonal symmetry. I hope it looks alright. I hope I got the gist of it.

First thing we had to learn was how to count on a ruler. Um, I am not that great with math so yea all of the 3/4 and the 1/4, I really had to pick up on that. The ruler is your best friend in this class.

This is the first practice project. Our first assignment was Harmony, Variety, Balance.
This was all done by cutting with an Exacto knife. It doesn't look too bad. It's a very unique design. It could be neater. I can see wear some of the glue had dried but it is all practice.
