Research and Formal Values in Art

Here is the link to the site that gave me a brief understanding of the formal elements/values in art.

The use of the vertical lines on the first floor give the impression that the house is taller but the horizontal slats on the second floor prevent the vertical lines from making the house seem too tall, as well as making the top of the house follow the line of the roof, it makes it look more smooth and natural where as I think if vertical lines were to have been used on both floors the ending of the roof would be abrupt and unsettling.

'The House' by Alex York includes still images and a fly around the 3D model of the building. It is a private home and despite watching the video on silent I found the level of detail in the decoration of the interior of the house gave me enough of a visual stimulus that my attention was kept for the length of the animation.

In regards to my own model of which I am yet to complete, I do not think  will even be able to include details such as furnishings and decorative items other than photographs placed on walls to make the space appear more interesting.

'Cabin Illustrations' by Marie-Laure Cruschi

 Although the colours used appear slightly muted or dulled down, overall they are bright and give off a positive feeling about the subject matter. All the space is utilized with detail, such as the plain section of ground on the right of the cabin, it could have been left empty but applying the shadows has meant that what may have been a bare area is busy and does not distract you from the main focus of the image. I think that if the ground was bare then it would grab your attention more.
I need to start making my own poster or dvd cover for my video and looking at this, if I had made a video about this cabin and this was an image I had, then I would use the grass at the bottom of the image as it has few colours and is not the main focus of the image. I could then apply a title or short description of what the video/artwork is about.

Marlindo D. Pontes

What caught my attention with Marlindo D. Pontes work is that he has created architectural stills of artist studio set ups. Although I don't think I will be able to make easels or apply painterly artworks into my own model, it is interesting to see how he has taken his stills. Here the focus is on the painting sat on top of the green stool. There is limited colours, light browns and whites/greys used for the floors, walls and canvas. Colour appearing on a paint pot and the stool that has the paint palette/paint box sat on top.
