Faisal's Project Blog: Task 3

Part 1:

Cubist image by hand

Rabbit Origami

I have created a rabbit origami out of my picture. My picture was originally autumn leaves, and i chose a rabbit shape because they eat leaves and it links with nature. The technique was followed through a youtube tutorial. I think this works well with cubist art because of the concept of making a 2D object which is my picture - look 3D.

Bow-tie Origami

This is an origami bow-tie out of my picture. The image was of a tree with dangling leaves falling. This links to cubist art because of the 3D creation and this different perspective element. The shape of the origami sticks out in the middle which distorts the image look as another perspective.

Leaf Origami

This origami is in the shape of a leaf. The image I chose is a close up of the leave's lines and textures which works well with the shape of a leaf. The perspective of the image makes this origami look like a cubist art work because it shows a birds eye view.

Part 2

Cubist image using Photoshop

First Attempt - Experiment

This cubist image was created on Photoshop. The box around the squirrel is the darkest out the rest so it can stand out the most. The rest of the image is selected in squares which makes it look slightly third-dimensional.

Second Attempt - Experiment

This image is the same image as above. However, I looked at some examples and from my contextual studies to make it look somewhat creative. The tree looks distorted and the squirrel looks as it's walking along diagonally.

Second Picture

This image is one of my favourite. Reason why is because the leaf in the middle is warped to the left giving it this different perspective. This makes a good cubist image because the squares overlaps with the other squares which makes it look 3D. The focus on this image itself is very much on the centre leaf, this makes it look eye grabbing.

Last minute edits

This image is very simplistic and still fits as a cubist image. There are overlays and two of the layers of pieces are flipped vertically and horizontally. I like this image because it's not overworked through the whole image, it's just a section in the middle.

This image is similar to the top but it's more overworked and the yellow lines add a new content. I like this image because of the way all the pieces are arranged everywhere and it's from the same image. It fits a cubist image because it's overlapping and it looks surreal.

This image is a good example of a cubist image because it has a unique perspective from left to right. There are sections from the image that are rearranged to give it this muddled look. All the squares are impact so it works with the outer bit of the image.

Part 3

Futurism image using Photoshop

Waterfall Movements

This image consisted two images of waterfalls movements at different shutter speed. One was at a very fast shutter speed to capture the water freeze and the other was a slow shutter speed to capture this cloudy image. Then using Photoshop, I put both images overlaid and changed the opacity to give this element of movement.

'People' Experiment

This image was just a random image taken on my photoshoot trip. This is also two images placed over each other then I erased the background and some elements to just make this movement present on the guy or the left and the guy on the right taking pictures. This gives an illusion that those two men are moving and not just everything in the image because the two images are alike.

Squirrel Experiment

In this image, I used the same image twice set on overlay. Then re-adjusted one above so it looks as though the squirrel is moving up. I didn't like that the tree and the grass was also blurred so I'm going to do another experiment to see how I can just make the squirrel look in motion.

Squirrel Experiment 2

This outcome was better. I duplicated the background then erased the background around the squirrel. Then I just placed the layer onto the original background and duplicated the squirrel so there's an additional 2 squirrels. Then changed the opacity and adjusted it to make it look like it's moving.
