Art & Design
It has been said that art is a reflection of the artist - a type of biography. The work that an artist creates is constructed using knowledge and elements from his or her own past experiences and unique talents. Therefore, each work of art is representative in some way of the artist who created it.
These types of compositions help novice artists learn the basic principles of art and design. By using a scanner as a canvas, the beginner can experiment with organizational structure, balance, harmony, variety, movement, rhythm, proportion, unity, and the different elements of art.
Using compositional scans as a prerequisite, photographic art builds on the fundamental principles of art while learning how to effectively use a digital SLR camera. By using photographic art, artists can experiment with field of view, focus, light, and compositional structure to create high-resolution pieces of art.
The works in this gallery represent designs created for competitions, assigned class work, and for other purposes. Depending on why a work was created, some illustrate basic design principles while others are more complex. Some designs were done completely in software applications while others were created by hand using the materials noted in each piece.
