some more Shigeo Fukuda,

Shigeo Fukuda

This is one of my favorite artists, he has made so many awesome posters and I am mostly interested in those, but here is a sampling of his work.

Lines that create flow

I thought this was a great example of how the lines and impressions of lines can create a flow through a piece of artwork. This artist, very cleverly, uses the lines in the dress, along with the shape of the head and the background to create a circular flow.

lines and texture

this is a nice image of lines forming texture by Rusty Rhodes

Lines

The Lines in this drawing create some awesome folds and textures without losing the structure of the line and becoming solid shapes, I wish I could Draw this good!!

some interesting lines

I thought this was interesting because this is one solid line, that never ends.

The MARTA map is a cool way of showing lines, and though it's not meant to, also shows perception in space using color. DESIGN ELEMENTS!

These are some rough lines, that when layered, create a recognizable image.

Korean artist Cheong-ah Hwang creates beautiful and intricate works of art that are made entirely out of paper. Since the paper is layered, it automatically gives the depth and shadows as well as crisp edge lines.

Unknown artist, but these illustrations demonstrate how line can be used not only to compose a full sized image, but also how line darkness, width, and angle can be used to create texture and levels of shading as well.

Leda and the Swan

This is "Leda and the Swan" by Cy Twombly, created in 1962. Twombly produced a highly abstracted telling of an ancient myth using only lines. In the myth, Zeus morphed into a swan and, depending on the telling, raped or seduced Leda. There are a few legible symbols, such as the window and the hearts. The rest of the lines have a frantic, violent quality that conveys the mood of the story's events. The more you look at the piece, the more the mind tries to deduce different pieces of the story. The lines can be read in different ways by different people. Even without knowing the background information, a viewer could still get a feel for what the artist was trying to portray. The characteristics of the lines speak for themselves.

an amazing line maze can leave you in a blind daze as if you were suddenly placed in outter space...

This is a line drawing, said to be a way to express thoughts and feelings through maze line drawing, artist Steven J Natanson proclaims... I think this is a display of superb execution of the construction of a line drawing. I feel this artist (in compiling lines to form a maze) explored many different types and shapes of lines, from a simple "thin" line to a complex "curvy", thicker lines that possess more character. Give this guy a hand clap! I'm also intrigued by the many shapes this piece contains; it's always neat to know that lines can make shapes...any shape you want it to! And with a different perspective, like turning the piece upside down, the lines may even make a shape you don't intent them to make!

Texture Pic

I feel the artist of this piece did an outstanding job conveying the concept of 'texture' with this photograph he/she (the artists' name is: Michoacan) took of an object, that's said to be an "Element of Mexican Design (#4). To me, it's as though this could be a photo, painting, or drawing, and even though it's a 2-D image, I still feel the edges, points, and "pyramidy" surface, just by looking at it...Image if it was a 3-D image, and what it could feel like to you if you closed your eyes and ran your hand of the object...

Line Art of V6 Hybrid Engine Cutaway by Kevin Hulsey

This is a really cool line drawing of an engine. In the drawing there is no shading just lines, which is the way we are suppose to make our line drawings for the project. This drawing displays more that just line, it also show shape and value with the lines drawn.

i found this about Ran Hwanga Korean artist that does installations with pins and buttons.

thought it would be a good example of texture

i found this image on a blog. the artist created this image based on a sketch of her name "geometric." this could be a good example of a line composition

Lines

An artist at the Fay Gold Gallery, Tony Hernandez, does a lot of simple work on paper. I have included several pieces which I thought demonstrate different kinds of lines. You can see that he uses a lot of line throughout his work, whether it be fuzzy, thin, thick; straight or curvy. They are mostly used to represent people. However, if you look around, lines can be found in the simple structure of most things. Tony Hernandez takes something complex, like a girl, or a bird, and draws the most simple, structural lines, and any viewer can see that he is depicting that object.

Interesting Texture by Jennifer Vranes

The middle one was especially interesting to me because it looks like a birch tree, or birch art. In the blog is actually has the tag 'birch art'. I though this was an interesting piece because of the bright unnatural colors that don't relate to bark, but do relate to the seasons when plants are warm and rich.

"Sherwood Gallery" in Laguna Beach, CA.

Vector Texture

I'm a big fan of vector art but this style is not known for having great texture because it mostly uses solid colors with thick outlines. In this piece by SCARECROWOVEN everything looks melted and goopie and zombie-like. The colors used are bright and vibrant but because if the textures it has a dark and scary feel to it.

there no artist for this but is a good example of using a falt 2D texture composition

Sandra Dieckmann - Texture

Sandra uses a series of texture along with her colors throughout her ilustrations to give a sense of depth and character to her illustrations, which generally feature wildlife animals and colorful scenery created with patterns and cut-outs. I love her work, and her textures appropriately add a greatness to her works that can be categorized in 2D-, or visual texture.

Texture

This is a piece by Andy Goldsworthy, one of my absolute favorite artists. He alters nature in interesting ways to make patterns and interesting compositions. I chose this to show texture becuase I feel like nature is full of so many different textures and he captured these textures in such a unique way.

Texture and Architecture

The Spanish Pavilion built for the 2010 Shanghai World Exposition was made very distinctive by its texture, which was a result of the craft that went into building it. The design firm Catalan EMBT Miralles-Tagliabue used the tradition of wicker basket weaving as a link between Spain and China. What you see are handmade wicker panels attached to a metal frame that creates the structure. This results in a roughly textured surface that plays interestingly with the biomorphic form. From afar, the Pavilion appears as a rough, scaly undulating mass, but closer inspection reveals the handmade nature of the panels. In this way, Spain constructed a thoroughly modern building that also referenced its proud heritage. Past was linked with the present.

Texture Research

I will post a blog about an artist involving texture with further research, but I thought I'd share some photos of texture I was researching about...














poodle











tree bark












ice cream















curly hair











chocolate

shiny boots

Backblech

I posted this picture because I really like the way this texture looks. It seems that the feel of it would be different, like something I never felt before. I could find the name of the artist on the website, but if you want to see it and other textures here's the link: http://www.graphicmania.net/free-amazing-texture-art/

I thought this was a pretty dope diptych that I'm assuming was altered to have a more vector/digatal look to it rather than the actual photographs.
Title: No Tommorow
Artist: chakrabird

VW Van Diptych

This diptych in particular is very symmetrical. Very little is different between both photos, but the difference in color between both vans, as well as the dramatic change in backdrop, give each photograph it's own unique mood for the viewer.
