2D Design Blog 3
Blog 3: Due Tuesday, Feb 21st
Consider the artwork of both Ives and Picasso in reference to shape. In your opinion, which artist uses shape aesthetically?
Picasso:
Ives:
How does this artist make 2D flat shapes appear to pop out in 3D? Is it successful in your opinion?
In my opinion, Ives has the more successful use of shape. Though non-objective, I think the subject matter is far more interesting than Picasso and comes across as dynamic and dramatic.
The artist in the last picture is successful in creating a 3D effect by utilizing color as shading on a 2D rendering of a cube. -Chase
I think that Ives has a better use of shape. Ives' use of shape is much smoother and more pleasing to the eye than Picasso's. Picasso's shapes seem to blend together with a harshness that renders it unpleasant.
The cubes in the third picture do look 3D. The artist was able to create this effect using shading on the cubes.
While Picasso is generally considered the "master" of shape and object in art, judging by the two photos, I prefer Ives shapes over Picasso's because they are easier to recognize as "shape" as opposed to an image.
The cubes are 3D because of the contrast between light and dark, the shading, and use of color. I think it's a successful image.
I like Ives shapes more than Picasso's because they are shapes that are easy to recognize and not just random lines made to appear as shapes like Picasso's piece.
I do see the 3D look that shows in the 2D picture. I think this was able to happen because the artist used dark shading at the bottom of every block which made each one stand out.
I believe Picasso uses shape more aesthetically. He used them to draw a picture instead of just shapes. The artist uses line and value to create the illusion of being 3-D instead of 2-D. I believe it is very successful.
I believe Ives uses more aesthetically than Picasso due to the the recognizable shapes. It is more pleasing to the eye since you have to develop your own opinion as to what Picasso is creating. Through color and shading the artist developed a very successful 3D design.
Although I do like Picasso's piece I believe Ives shape is more aesthetic just because his shapes are more visible to the eye, while Picasso's is more of a picture with varying objects/animals.
The 2D picture is shapes appear 3D because of the color and line variation, the darker colors are used to show the side of the shape not exposed to the light.
I think picasso uses shape in a way that is functional, to show the shape and form of a THING. the second piece, which adds many colors to the shape, isn't attempting to use them so much as function, but for appearance. they are laid out in a visually appealing way.
the last image appears as 3d due to the varying colors of the squares, as well as the elongated/shortened shape of many of them. what we perceive as a cube is really just a pattern of multicolored rhombuses. also yes, it is successful, but i've seen better. a starker contrast may help the effect.

Ives use of shape is more aesthetic than Picasso's. The elements of shape he uses in his artwork are more distinct and really stand out.
