Formal Visual Analysis: The Elements & Principles of Composition
Description:
Formal analysis is an important technique for organizing visual information. In other words, it is a strategy used to translate what you see into written words. This strategy can be applied to any work of art, from any period in history, whether a photograph, sculpture, painting or cultural artifact. http://artsedge.kennedy-center.org/content/3902/

Typography





Quote provided by Johannes Itten-

Lao-Tse
Thiry spokes meet in the hub but the empty spaces between them is the essence of the wheel. Pots are formed from clay but the empty space withini it is the essence of the pot. Walls with windows and doors form the house, but the empty space within it is the essence of the house.

The principle:
Matter represents the usefulness
Non-matter the essence of things.

Inside the Prosthetic Imaginary: An Interview with Sara Hendren
http://rhizome.org/editorial/2012/oct/4/inside-prosthetic-imaginary-interview-sara-hendren/

Texts used to demonstrate typefaces

A sentence that uses all of the alphabet (a pangram), such as "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", is often used as a design aesthetic tool to demonstrate the personality of a typeface's characters in a setting (because it displays all the letters of the alphabet). For extended settings of typefaces graphic designers often use nonsense text (commonly referred to as greeking), such as lorem ipsum or Latin text such as the beginning of Cicero's In Catilinam. Greeking is used in typography to determine a typeface's colour, or weight and style, and to demonstrate an overall typographic aesthetic prior to actual type setting.

IMBY |In My Backyard | The Sonoma County Museum as Subject 

Sonoma County Museum 

SANTA ROSA· CALIFORNIA

On behalf of the Sonoma County Museum, you are invited to participate in IMBY |In My Backyard | The Sonoma County Museum as Subject. This show is an open-call group exhibition of photographers, taking the Sonoma County Museum as subject. We hope you will participate, and that you will help us spread the word to others who may be interested.

Photographers of all stripes, from artists and professionals to amateurs and hobbyists, will be coming to the museum in October and November, 2012 to photograph the building. The exhibition will be held January 25 – February 24, 2013.

Photographers will take the museum building as their subject, an historic 1910 structure that was originally a post office. Public and private spaces will be accessible to photograph – galleries, the garden, offices, vaults, the attic, workshops, storage areas, and more. Come explore the many nooks and crannies of one of Santa Rosa’s few extant buildings built over a century ago.

We have already had over 30 participants photographing the museum. Photographers can use traditional or digital cameras, and have brought everything from professional cameras, to iPhones, mobile devices, pinhole cameras, models and props to realize their projects.

IMBY: The Sonoma County Museum as Subject has been inspired by the first IMBY photography show, held at SlaughterhouseSpace in Healdsburg, which is on exhibit through October 27, 2012. IMBY: SlaughterhouseSpace was curated by Dominic Egan and Pat Lenz, who will also be curating the Sonoma County Museum exhibition. www.slaughterhousespace.com/IMBY/IMBY.html

Digital Photography

Lab:

Sketchbook:

View from your bedroom window or a personal space where you think.

Ref.:

"Boulevard du Temple", taken by Daguerre in 1838 in Paris, includes the earliest known photograph of a person. The image shows a street, but because of the over ten minute exposure time the moving traffic does not appear. At the lower left, however, a man apparently having his boots polished, and the bootblack polishing them, were motionless enough for their images to be captured.

TED : Mitch Resnick

In a fun, demo-filled talk Mitch Resnick says we should teach kids to code, so they can do more than just read new technologies -- but create them. Watch now >>

Coding isn’t just for computer whizzes, says Mitch Resnick of MIT Media Lab -- it’s for everyone. In a fun, demo-filled talk Resnick outlines the benefits of teaching kids to code, so they can do more than just “read” new technologies -- but also create them.(Filmed at TEDxBeaconStreet.)

Mitch Resnick directs the Lifelong Kindergarten group at MIT Media Lab, dedicated to helping kids of all ages tinker and experiment with design. Full bio »

Young people today have lots of experience … interacting with new technologies, but a lot less so of creating [or] expressing themselves with new technologies. It's almost as if they can read but not write.” (Mitch Resnick)

Shane Koyczan: "To This Day" ... for the bullied and beautiful

FILMED FEB 2013 • POSTED MAR 2013 • TED2013

By turn hilarious and haunting, poet Shane Koyczan puts his finger on the pulse of what it's like to be young and … different. "To This Day," his spoken-word poem about bullying, captivated millions as a viral video (created, crowd-source style, by 80 animators). Here, he gives a glorious, live reprise with backstory and violin accompaniment by Hannah Epperson.

Shane Koyczan makes spoken-word poetry and music. His poem "To This Day" is a powerful story of bullying and survival, illustrated by animators from around the world. Full bio »
