Time Article - Renzo Piano
Renzo Piano is an absolute master of light and lightness. He has a fantastic understanding of construction and the scale of pieces. I don't think there is anybody like him. He's the son of a builder who was very close to his father and very proud that he was a builder; it gives him tremendous roots. The unusual thing about Piano, 68, is that he works from small to big. I had never met an architect like that before. He doesn't approach a building from the point of an idea; it grows out of the ground. He's also one of the most elegant architects I know. He's elegant in person, but also his structures are very elegant, very humanistic. They aren't pieces of abstract sculpture. They grow out of understanding how buildings go together and how light comes through them; he designs roofs that pull light in. Piano has moved on from the massive machine—like the Pompidou Center in Paris, which we designed together and which is full of people, like a big climbing frame—to very beautiful museums and libraries. Each one is a bit more elegant. Piano has terrific range. I love the San Nicola football stadium in Bari, Italy, which is a massive statement—big petals of concrete that come out of the ground. Then there is the Beyeler building in Switzerland that is as light as anything. I won't say which of his buildings is my favorite. I will say he's my favorite architect. He's one of the supreme modern architects of his generation. He's also a fanatical sailor. He designs his own boats. When we were first friends, almost 40 years ago, he designed a concrete sailing boat. And actually it worked very well. Rogers designed London's Lloyd's Building and the Millennium Dome |

| Interior Design - AED266 February 6, 2008 Project #2: Color Study Date Due: February 13, 2008 (beginning of class) Chose an image, painting, or photograph; using paint swatches complete a color study by pulling colors from your image. Complete a text summary using color vocabulary of your project. Focus on: - Color dominance - what color or colors dominate the image? - Create a color scale(using paint swatches) of the 3 primary colors found in you image. (ex. Lets take red for instance…..find the darkest red – match it with a paint swatch……then find 4 additional reds going down the scale in value dark to light). (the image below represents color scale)  - Color combinations – what are the Complimentary schemes in the image? define the Analogous, and Tertiary schemes? (use paint swatches) Presentation: Create an 11” X 17” graphic presentation, on paper that is heavier than regular copy paper (ex. Water color paper, mat board, etc.) (1 page). Prepare a short (5min.) oral presentation place the name of the piece(image) and artist below the image on your presentation. print and read the link below....... http://www.colormatters.com/colortheory.html |

joan miro
Joan Miró i Ferrà (April 20, 1893 – December 25, 1983) was a Catalan (Spanish) painter, sculptor, and ceramist born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain to the family of a Goldsmith and Watchmaker. His work has been interpreted as Surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride.

diagram(dī'ə-grăm')
A plan, sketch, drawing, or outline designed to demonstrate or explain how something works or to clarify the relationship between the parts of a whole.Bubble diagram
-start by choosing an area, room, or the approach or entry.
-organize your spaces by importance, hierarchy, and relationships.
-show the hierarchy of importance by the size of the bubbles you use.
-brainstorm!!!! add anything that you think is important to your design.
- add color to visually organize...
blue= work space, red=retail space, green=private space
-this is a graphic aid be sure that its easy to read and understand.

Art 151 - linear sculpture
Purpose: To create a free standing linear sculpture composed of units. Objectives:Student will design modular unit using two or more toothpicks construct as many modular units as possible with minimum 100 toothpicks design sculpture made from modular unitsshow awareness of art vocabulary critique works of art Materials:toothpicks - minimum 100 per studentwood glue (or Elmer's glue)masking tape, Styrofoam blocks,spray paint (assorted colors) Optional: wood for bases,electric drill, drill bit Emphasis:Line, negative space, movement, and repetition. Procedure:Discuss the how artists communicate visually in their work using the elements of design. The elements of design should be used as the building blocks of the structure you are trying to create. The elements of design are form, space, texture, space, line, color and value. Line is a mark made by a moving point. It directs a visual path from one point to another. In sculpture, line can define the solid mass- it serves as the outline. We perceive the “edges” of the surface as lines. In fact, these edges are planes, and this term should be used to refer to sculptural forms. Space refers to the area around, within, and occupied by the three-dimensional object, as well as the way these areas interact. The sculptor must consider the positive space as well as the negative space (the area around and within the structure) when planning a sculpture. Movement is the sense of motion created by the angles or planes to further the sculptural idea. It may be categorized as implied movement, optical movement, actual movement, and sequence. A strong sense of movement can be created in a sculpture through the use of diagonal edges or planes. Opposing, asymmetrical paths of movement will challenge the viewer’s sense of balance and can be used to dramatically affect the sculpture. Viewer movement, even if it only involves the eyes, is a necessary part of experiencing art. Pattern is the repetition of texture, forms, colors, or other design elements. Such recurrence of visual elements helps to unify the artwork and creates a sense of structure. Pattern, if used in a regular and planned way, may also emphasize the main idea. If used in an unplanned or random way, it can add a sense of energy and provide a variation on a theme that is unexpected and exciting.
Make some thumbnail sketches of sculpture plan using unit.
