Week 3 Learning Objectives
So for 3.1 you need to create 4 examples of balance and 4 examples of rhythm – all with the cut paper squares as described in the Week 3 video. There is no drawing for 3.1 – just the examples made with the 1 inch paper squares.
1. Describe the elements and principles of design in print and web examples.
2. Demonstrate the application of the elements and principles of design in various media.
3. Apply critical thinking to issues associated with graphic design in assessing solutions.
Assignment 3.1Assignment 3.1
Rhythm and Balance.
Cut a bunch of 1×1 inch squares out of black paper.
Cut an 8×8 inch white paper to use as a background.
Explore balance and rhythm by coming up with different arrangements of the 1 inch squares on the white paper.
Photograph your favorite four examples of balance and your favorite four examples of rhythm along with why you feel they are good examples of each (total of 8). Be sure each image is labeled. Post your work to the discussion board.
Hello everyone! Welcome to Week 3. Here’s your exciting and information packed video for this week: Week 3 Video
We are looking at rhythm and balance this week. Good stuff.
Let me know if you have any questions or need anything.
Have a really good week!
PLEASE DO NOT POST WORD DOCS. PDF, JPG, or PNG.
The assignment was for YOU to draw the images – not find them online. That is plagiarism. Please do your own work.
Also, no need for the paper format. We are not writing papers. Just post your work as per the instructions.
Academic Dishonesty is covered in the Syllabus, Part 3. It states. “Penalties for academic dishonesty may include a warning, a reduction in grade, a grade of “F” for the work in question or, with Dean approval, a grade of “F” for the course. In addition, any student engaged in academic dishonesty will be subject to disciplinary action including reprimand, short-term suspension, long–term suspension, and/or expulsion according to the policies and procedures of the University.” According to this statement, I would have been in my rights to fail you for the course. That seems rather harsh for a first instance. I choose to give you a zero for the assignment. It is up to the faculty member to determine what actions to take.
(Please keep in mind that you stated via the Syllabus Acknowledgement quiz that you read and understood the syllabi. It is very important that you do understand the syllabus in every class you take since it is a type of contract between you and your professors. I assume that this is true, and I proceed accordingly.)
Since the assignment stated “Go someplace interesting and observe. Make at least 5 drawings of things/objects you see there” and “Draw your selected object…” the images needed to be drawn, not copy and pasted from online sources. The purpose of this assignment was to apply the material from the reading assignment. An additional intended outcome was to build observation skills, along with drawing abilities. We won’t develop these skills just by finding images online, we need to create them. Each assignment in the course is going to be different, with different instructions. And as I stated in class, not all instructions are written down. You won’t be handed an instruction sheet; it will be a meeting where instructions will be delivered verbally. It will be your job to write them down and ask questions on anything that you didn’t understand. In this class, you’ll receive written instructions (the assignment) and verbal instructions (the video).
