LO2: Know How To Generate Ideas

Task 1:

This is a mind map that I used during a previous objective known as Brief 1-4 on my Blogger under The Unit 3 Idea's and Concepts Blog. Mind maps can be used in all most anything to get ideas, also Known as a "Tree Branch Graph" the mind map Branch's off and has a Different idea Forming off the end off every branch. I have found it useful in allot of situations e.g. Creating a novel idea. The main mind map Software that is used on the computer is a program called "Inspiration" and it is very effective. In fact the Mind map example for Brief 1-4 was created in "Inspiration".

Task 2:

Working as a team was like

Our 6 Credit Card Concepts 

1. This was mostly just a Tester image. I wouldn't say it was my favourite because there as very little meaning to this picture and so I'm not attached in any way.

2. Based on one of the scariest games of 2012 SLENDER is a very popular game known by most gamers. although I feel that this image doesn't represent the SLENDER feel from what it should have from the game. And for this reason, the Lack of "Mr Tall Dark and Handsome" (as he's also known as)  doesn't suit it's character.

3. I Have to admit that this is defiantly the least favourite of my images. I hate the way it's so out of shape and I have no clue for it's meaning.

4. This has To be my favourite image, it just captures the SLENDER feel really well. I also like the shadow effect on Slender man's face, the detail isn't perfect but it works. I found the image on Google images as I typed in "slenderman art" :

5. This Multiple Shaped Image involves Lines in all the main directions (Horizontal, Vertical, Diagonal) it reminds me of a Red Leather Handbag  that has worn over time.

LO1: undeadstand how ideas and concepts inform art and design work

Pablo Picasso:

Pablo Ruiz y Picasso, known as Pablo Picasso 25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973), was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker,ceramicist, and stage designer who spent most of his adult life in France. As one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, he is widely known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture,the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907), and Guernica (1937), a portrayal of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War.

Picasso, Henri Matisse and Marcel Duchamp are commonly regarded as the three artists who most defined the revolutionary developments in the plastic arts in the opening decades of the 20th century, responsible for significant developments in painting, sculpture, printmaking and ceramics.

Picasso demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent in his early years, painting in a realistic manner through his childhood and adolescence. During the first decade of the 20th century, his style changed as he experimented with different theories, techniques, and ideas. His revolutionary artistic accomplishments brought him universal renown and immense fortune, making him one of the best-known figures in 20th-century art.

Alexander Rodchenko:

Aleksander Mikhailovich Rodchenko was a Russian artist, sculptor, photographer and graphic designer. He was one of the founders of constructivism and Russian design; he was married to the artistVarvara Stepanova.

Rodchenko was one of the most versatile Constructivist and Productivist artists to emerge after the Russian Revolution. He worked as a painter and graphic designerbefore turning to photomontage and photography. His photography was socially engaged, formally innovative, and opposed to a painterly aesthetic. Concerned with the need for analytical-documentary photo series, he often shot his subjects from odd angles—usually high above or down below—to shock the viewer and to postpone recognition. He wrote: "One has to take several different shots of a subject, from different points of view and in different situations, as if one examined it in the round rather than looked through the same key-hole again and again."

I Find that The Constructivism Artist used more colour and made it more modern with colours like Black, Red, Green, White and Blue and yet the cubism artist leaves  very Bland colours like Yellows, Greens, Greys and Dark Blues ( That Reminds me of  something rotting or mould ). The Only Noticeable feature that i can find similar about These two pieces of art would be that They Both use allot of the Same Shape e.g. Pablo Picasso: He uses Squares, Rectangles and Triangles. Alexander Rodchenko: Uses Triangles, Rectangles and Circles. although Rodchenko was basing his work from his home turf and Picasso based his work from what appears on be the middle eastern town which typically enough Reminds me of the Hugely Recognised Game Series known as Assassin's Creed where the original game takes place in a Middle eastern Crusade Period Where Some of the Kingdoms/ towns actually look like that.
