Weekly summary 

This week we talked about light, color texture, and pattern. This was an extension of the elements of design that we learned last week. We learned about the different ways you can have light such as ambient, task, accent, and mood lighting and how those impact the space you are in. We also learned about color. Color is very important to interior design, certain colors can make a room feel a certain way. Pattern is something that can also add a visual element to your room. One thing that stood out the me the most this week is that texture makes a big impact on color. I forget that texture matters. But when you think about it the shadows from the texture create many different ways for the light to play with the color. Here is an example  of texture, light, and color used in interior design


































Reading Notes:
Chapter 2 Sketching Interiors 

  • the line is a mark made by a pencil, pen, marker, or other writing instrument and is often described as a moving dot.
  • variety in thickness of line creates interest in a drawing
  • lines can be described as nervous, soft, heavy, wavy, or many other things 
  • Artists like Da Vinci used lines to capture objects, movement light, and depth 
  • there are a few different types of lines, they are a variety of line weights, skip lines, exciting line
  • a line needs to be deliberate and confident 
  • lines need to be crossed at corners when two lines intersect, try not to lace a gap at the corner 
  • for hatching 45-degree sticks usually are good 
  • contour line drawing uses lines to capture objects, there is no shading or brightness and darkness on the drawing, and there is no evidence of 3-D form 
  • tips for drawing contour line drawings:
  • be loose and relaxed
  • perceive the object with your sense of sight and touch
  • use different line weights and other line qualities in drawing 
Chapter 11 Color Studies 
  • surface color denotes the hue of an object as a whole, like green grass
  • value helps to determine the relative position of an object in space 
  • the background of any piece is essential to the advancing and receding effects of any hue placed on it
  • distance between any object and the observer involves a change in color perception 
  • The type of illusionary space that can be created are shallow median and for reading 
  • shallow space is usually created by simple shading of forms and simple overlapping 
  • Medium space is the depth that is conveyed by ordinary vision
  • Far-reaching space is the kind seen in panoramic photos or landscapes when we appear to look out to the horizon 
  • to use colors fully you need to know the differences between them 
  • Transparency is when objects overlap but are still seen in their entirety
  • equivocal space conveys the feeling that the space is changing as we view it
  • if a light value is placed on top of a dark one the value of the overlap will be darker than the light value but lighter than the dark value and vice versa
  • a translucent object allows light to pass through but the material is not entirely transparent. Light is partially blocked 
  • Translucency depends on the effect created by the density and texture of the translucent layer
  • the volume of solid objects is fairly easily rendered because of their local color
  • the open door with light streaming through affects the surface color of objects in that the light forms a layer upon their surfaces, this is called film color
  • Intensity can produce effects on objects in space 
  • strong intercity makes an object large 
  • small areas are better rendered when done with brighter hues 
  • the presentation is important when presenting a project 
  • the color you outline something affects how the eye sees it 
  • the most legible colors together are black and yellow 
  • thin lines can appear lighter and thick lines can appear darker 
  • the shape is a bounded flat area 
  • form is a 3-D shape 
  • Highlight is the area where the light source strikes the object 
  • the light area is the area that surrounds the light and appears rather light 
  • a cast shadow is an area that relies on the light source to impart its direction and strength 
  • the texture of a surface also influences the color
  • most reflective surfaces are smooth and shiny 
  • when no definite light source is noted the shading is termed logical shading 
  • irradiation finds the objects related to the ground 
  • a crisp delineation of all forms is known as linear composition 
  • different types of lights are artificial lighting, incandescent lights, electric arc lights, fluorescent lights, compact fluorescent lamps, and light-emitting diodes

  Blog 8 Weekly summary  This week we had an amazing opportunity to visit a beautiful container home this week. We were able to learn about how these container homes work and how they feel when you are inside. It was also a great example of modern design done in a colorful but also cozy way. I really enjoyed this field trip! We also learned about emphasis and contrast in our lecture.  Emphasis: the purposeful development of focal dominant characteristics within a space establishes a hierarchy within the space  emphases can also create an element of story within a space  it creates a feeling of drama, personality, and balance Types of emphasis  color texture  lighting furniture views  architectural details  Contrast  cohesiveness is important, but too much of the same thing can create a flat and monotones space contrast adds the balance needed to bring a design concept to completion contrast can be achieved by pacing two or more elements ...

  Blog 7 Weekly summary  This week we started to talk about the principles of Design, they are, balance harmony  rhythm  proportion scale emphasis contrast detail  We talked about balance and Harmony.  Balance is critical to feel a sense of equilibrium in a space. Balance is about achieving visual weight by strategic placement of objects as well as through lines, shapes, colors, and textures. There are three different types of balance, they are, symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial. Symetrial or Formal balnce  typically require symmetrical balance Symmetrical balance is easy  it is where there is an axis and one side of the axis is the same as the other This balance can be static or boring Aysomtical or Informal Balance  Blcne without exact duplication  This balance is Interesting and dynamic  This is a more difficult balance to make look good Radial Balance  goes out in a circle  good for commercial spaces this is a yout...

  Blog 3 Weekly summary  This Week we are spending most of our time on our visual wallpaper assignment. For this assignment, we use a print from the artist Alrecht Durer. We zoom in on this print and pick an area of it to draw. This assignment will teach us to see and understand visual textures as well as learn how to use line weight correctly. I chose the image of Adam and Eve. I enjoyed this image because of its complexity. only when you zoom in do you see all the details that went into it.  Alrecht Durer created this print based off of Adam and Eve in the Graden of Eden. He wanted to show them moments before the fall of man. He depicted them as perfect humans, just as God made them. I chose a section from the top right corner with a Goat standing on the ledge of a cliff. This goat represents  lust and damnation. I picked this section because I think it has a great composition with a mix of dark and light spaces. It also has a goat in it which is just fun! Reading ...
