For this task we where looking at semiotics and the way a picture can be interpreted by the viewer.
For the first part of the task we where given a sheet in group and hold to figure out the titles of each work.
while some of the answers from our group were right, the ones that are wrong show that the audience can interpret a picture a in a very different way than the artist may of intended. Many of the other groups had more abstract answers to the titles and we can see that these pictures can invoke many different emotional responses from people.
for the second task we ourselves had to express a feeling or a phase though visual media.
Line
for like I picked Serene, Gentle, proud, anxious, dynamic, honest, unstable and savage.
i used both ideas of body language and texture within my experiments, such as prouds curved line becoming akin to a puffed out chest. savage and gentle are both bent over into a "n" shape however the eratic nature and sharp points of makes it easer to see to see that it is wilder and more unstable than the smaller smoother line of gentle.
Colour
"the ice cold sea" I interpreted this as a calm atmosphere and had minimal movement in the lines although it is inherently natural and i wanted to ad some movement in it to imply the waves coming towards the viewer, a gradient effect used with the three colours of blue as it goes upward into a cold white sky.
"a car journey in summer" was a personal choice as i drew upon some of the long drives in visiting my family using red and blue to signify the setting sun and yellow clusters as the street lamps were beginning to turn on reflected on the car window.
"A Calm motion" is filled with light and bright colours but i didn't want it to become overbearing so i created a confetti like effect with the pen, the white space paired with the fresh colours brings a calming effect to it.
"a long day" This peice uses uniform lines much the same as "the ice cold sea" however this time it is all uniform and only uses grey. i drew the liness lightly tilted to give the feeling of something being off giving more expression to monotony.
Composition
for composition we where given stickers and cards for this I chose static, balanced, lonely and claustrophobic.

static used what i would consider a natural colour, green and placed it along a horizontal line, this may give of a feeling of a field or a hill. A patch of land that has never moved.
balanced made use of most of coloured stickers using it in a gradated effect as a simplification of a colour swatch that is all very uniform and balanced. This may also be interpreted as a chakra chart if viewed another way around and that in itself is a spiritual sense of balance.
Lonely is one that i wished to tackle in a different way, while others may have just used a single sticker to exemplify a being being alone i wished to communicate it though the crowd of lighter and brighter colours and in the middle being a single blue dot that cannot quite fit in between the crowd. this change in colour can give way into interpretations of it's feelings and how it may feel alone and out of place.

Claustrophobic i used a cluster of blue dots packing a yellow dot into a corner. i see the blue as a passive colour while yellow is more high energy and may sometimes mean panic or distress in some interpretations. the white space as well gives more meaning to claustrophobia as the yellow dot lacks space in comparison to the rest of the page.
Setting a Scene
for the final task we where told to edit a work of edward hopper and change the mood of it, i chose the piece "morning sun"

The Edward Hopper piece edited to fit the theme "1980's"
I am familiar with 80's fashion and advertising already so i knew i would have to make it look overall sleeker and brighter, darkening the girls hair giving her more make up, brightening up her clothes to a more manufactured look and making her sheets more pristine white in comparison to the darkened walls. I put a pattern overlay on the wall as it was popular to incorporate pattern into everything. Darkening the window and buildings outside to give it more of a city feeling as she looks more like she it being illuminated by the street lamps now than the morning sun.
