Illustrator pen tool

I experimented with the pen tool, both curves and straight lines. I used the color swatch, fill and strokes to change the colours. I could change the size of the lines and patterns of the shapes. It took a bit to get the handle of the curve tool but I managed in the end.

Illustrator and Shapes

I tested out the pen tool, shape tool and dialogue box (where I just edit a shape) and colored them all in with the filter tool.  The shift key keeps the adjustments all equal, and the polygon tool allows me to type in the amount of points of the shape and automatically gives me the shape.

Cubism

What is Cubism?
It's the subject of the drawing that is broken up by a drawing of a range angles. Picasso and Braque got inspiration and advice from Paul Cezanne ( not a cubism artist) to look at nature in terms of shape. The style was also influenced by African culture. Often the surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles, removing a coherent sense of depth. The background and objects overlap to create shallow space that is hardtop define. This is one of cubism's distinct, clear characteristics. In 1911 cubism slowly became more abstract.

What was the first painting of Cubism?
Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) was considered the first cubist painting. It was influenced by paintings of Paul Cezanne and by fauvists, as well by African sculptures. The subject of the picture are not actually women or models in the city of Avignon, but prostitutes of a street named Avigon.


What was the effect of Cubism?
20th century avant garde art was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and George Braque. The movement of cubism revolutionized Europe painting and sculptures. It inspired related movements in music and literature. Later the style was improved by Spaniard Juan Gris.
A
re the any Sub types of Cubism?

• Analytic Cubism ( looking at all the view points of an object ) which was mostly focused in France 1908 and 1911.
• Synthetic Cubism ( using synthetic materials in the art) the movement spread and remained vital until around 1919, when the surrealistic movement gained popularity.

Fashion/Sculpture artists

 

 

Oskar Schlemmer (4 September 1888 – 13 April 1943) was a German painter, sculptor, designer and choreographer teacher associated with the Bauhaus school. In 1923 he was hired as Master of Form at the Bauhaus theatre workshop, after working some time at the workshop of sculpture. His most famous work is “Triadisches Ballett," in which the actors are transformed into geometrical shapes. I like the costumes a lot of his work and the people he inspired. These are so fun to look at because they’re so wacky and imaginative.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rachel Whiteread, CBE (born 20 April 1963) is an English artist who produces sculptures, which typically take the form of casts. She won the annual Turner Prize in 1993 – the first woman to win the prize. Among her most renowned works are House, a large concrete cast of the inside of an entire Victorian house that was going to be knocked down and a  the holocaust memorial sculpture. Just reading about her makes me proud of women in general. She’s was a fantastic, special woman by the sound of her work and empathy. It’s hearing her compassion behind her work that really gets me interested, though casting entire houses and stair cases is pretty fascinating in itself. I love the idea and I love her.
