Week 5: Visual Techniques 

Composition 3 Rhymth and Movements

Having Rhythm in art is one of the most difficult aspects to achieve/explain.

Fig. 1 (Lecture)

To put it in a different context it is like this.

GOOD MUSIC = GOOD BEAT

GOOD BEAT = GOOD RHYTHM

Shape and line are the basic visual elements used to create movement.

Next, we also learn about Chiaroscuro

Visual Techniques: Chiaroscuro

Chiaroscuro refers to the use of light and dark to create the illusion of three-dimensional volume on a flat surface. In which CHIARO means BRIGHT and SCURO means DARK.

Why Chiaroscuro is used?

because of an artistic lighting choice to:

1. Increase dramatic tension
2. Create sensational effect
3. Pull your attention to the subject in an intense way
4. create a tasteful composition of negative vs positive spaces.

Chiaroscuro could also be used to study form and value practice.

Task 2: Decisive Moment

For task 2, we need to make a poster of a movie that depicts the most decisive moment of the story. So thinking that the most decisive moment is the part that may be the most iconic, I choose some movies or cartoon that I remember the most and think of Tinkerbell and the Secret of the Wings movie.

Fig. (Source: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdisney.fandom.com%2Fwiki%2FSecret_of_the_Wings&psig=AOvVaw1Xf0WNApvfN8N0FRm6Fvpi&ust=1633618739418000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAsQjRxqFwoTCPCYnpuGtvMCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD)

This movie gave me the most impression, I really like how the story goes and how she got reunite with her sister in a very unique way. Which is why that scene gave me the most impression of the movie.

I did a few sketch and think that this two is possible.

Fig. 8.1

Fig. 8.2

For the fist sketch, I was really satisfied with it but think that it won't be possible since it would be in the way for the sister in the back, since I planned to make their silhouette visible, so I change the design to their side profile. The result was really good, but it won't show the most important part which is the wings.

So while in the making of the design, I first make the silhouette and background.

Fig. 9.1

Then I make the words and then have the idea to make the wing in both side of the poster.

Fig. 9.2

Below is the final result.

Fig. 9.3 (Finale Design)

The contrast of the black was too strong but I don't know what color should I choose which is why I left it like that.

For the animation, I plan to make a shine coming from between the wings.

Below is my progress.

Fig. 10.1

In the lectures, the teachers gave me some feedback on what I should change and add.

So I did the change as I possibly could with my current skills.

Then because the words and the background do not match and it also disturbs the reading, I added leaves above.

Fig. 10.2

Fig. 10.3

After doing so, I start making multiple copies of the artboard to create the shine effect on the wings.

Fig. 10.4

Lastly, I animated the poster by using the photoshop frame by frame technique. There is another way to animated it, but I am still to unfamiliar with the tools, so I first use the ones that I know.

Fig. 10.5

This is the result.
