IMAGING (Class – 05)

28.08.18

Today’s class started off with Sir instructing the class about todays class assignments. The first assignment was to explore how to use layers and the pen tool. We were mailed a presentation regarding the Gestalt theory and principles, we were asked to go through it before coming for todays class. The presentation contained a lot of images circulating around the Gestalt theory, the images were created on illustrator. The presentation had an image of whales, we were told to take that image on illustrator and use pen tool and layering.
It was a little tough initially to get the hang of layering but once sir helped us out with it it was fun. He helped us figure out how to use pen tool with proper layering. Here is my assignment, vega (my classmate) and I, we did it on the same image:

The second assignment was to show the four elects i.e., sky, sea, light and wind on the same image using illustrator. Vega and I again worked together as I didn’t have the software, it was so much fun to work together. Initially I thought I won’t be able to do it but it honestly turned out to be a lot of fun creating this ensemble. The best part for Vega and I was the team work and having more than one idea to achieve the result. The best part of this assignment for me was the fact that by the end of the class I knew how to use pen tool and layering. Brain storming on how to portray the four elects together was so exciting. After a lot of browsing and brainstorming I finally sketched how I wanted to showcase the for elements. After getting the approval Vega and Sir, we finally started executing the plan. we were able to finish the assignment within the given time frame and so honestly I felt pretty reified. Here is our assignment:

Sir even taught us how edit the pixels of a picture and explained the importance of using a picture with high resolution. As a whole, the class was a lot of fun and pretty insightful.
