Pattern Design Reflection
In this project, we are creating PATTERN by using blue pen. We are drawing it on four different sheet of paper. I was first thinking about having four different theme on each paper, but later I think that maybe Alice in Wonderland will be a good idea for this project, because it is my favorite children’s story. So first, I draw down the tunnel that represent the tree hole that Alice and the rabbit fall in. It make people think that there is a MOVEMENT that is going down. Then, I draw the pattern on the poker, which is spade, heart, diamond and club, I draw one on each tile to be PROPORTION. Then, I draw flowers, trees and plant, to show the setting of the story, which is in a fantasy forest, and the trees are drawn in ORGANIC SHAPE.
Then, I trace the big ideas with blue pen, and EMPHASIS the big part with bolded LINES. After I trace all the big parts, I found out that the image still look very empty, I add a clover into the center of the image, the SPACE worked just right. To make the image more interesting, I add the VARIETY of pattern, using different SHAPES, including both GEOMETRIC SHAPE and organic shapes. Then I start to add the small details into the big part, and the first one that I draw is the heart and the flowers. Later, when I was going to draw the next one, I found out that the bottom part is too white, so to be BALANCE, I add the smiling car in Alice in Wonderland. I use different VALUE of COLOR to show that the cat is disappearing.
I add many clocks into the tunnel, one to fill up the space, and two to represent the clock that rabbit bring in Alice in Wonderland. Then, when I finish my clocks, I fill up the rest tunnel with dark blue, to emphasis. Lastly, I add patterns into the spade, diamond and club, filling up the space. The pattern that I remember the most is the spider web in the diamond. There are dark and light, and the CONTRAST each other. But the space that I colored have no RHYTHM, there are no rules. Lastly, I add the pattern into the clover in the center. I think that it may be a good idea to make it unity, because there are not too much same things in my art work.
Overall, I think the artwork that I make is HARMONY, though there are some different patterns, but the whole theme is the same.
I think I can improve on adding more staight line, because I’ve draw a lots of curvy lines. And I want to add more geometric shapes, to make my work more interesting. Also, the white part, or the space is too much. I think I should add some more pattern, to make the picture better. I think the good part that I did is the value.
