Recommended: Color theory research

For my final project I had a simplistic approach, I had used minimal colors and tried not to create a ton of objects surrounding the palm tree. The subject I was creating was a landscape of the ocean from a pirate’s point of view. The form of the project was created so the island with the palm tree would be the first thing you would see. This is because pirates would constantly search for land, whether it is to steal or find treasure on. The content of the project is the satisfaction and happiness you get when you see the palm tree and island. As soon as your eye appears on the focal point, you understand what the image is trying to tell you. Together all three: subject, form and content create unity within the image. Each one is important to get the story across to the viewer, which is a pirate view through a telescope.
The type of balance used for my final project was asymmetry balance; this is due to the off balance of the island and palm tree. The island is slightly longer on the right side of the image, while the palm tree is mostly on the left side of the island and leans to the left side. Although, they …show more content…

Then your eyes travel across the ocean and skyline and goes towards the bottom of the image where the water ripples are located. Finally, your eyes will exist the image after looking at the focal point one last time. I had created the primary visual path by adding small details around the palm tree and island and making sure I had evened the image out. I had also made sure to paint the ocean near the sky last because I wanted the viewers to use that line across the image to move their eyes. I knew if I had paint the light blue last that it would have made the image tacky and back words, especially as looking through a telescope the ocean is seen in the foreground while the sky is in the

    This is a good photograph because it shows the penguins in their natural habitat. The photograph is very clear, the mountains in the back and the divide between underwater and above water, up close, is focused. I selected this photograph because I love penguins and I thought the colors of the photographs were alluring. The difference between the colors caught my attention because of the dark corners of the the ocean and clouds that add an illusion of mystery and because of the bright center of the ocean and iceberg with the penguins above it. Overall the photograph made me question what is in the deep, dark parts of the ocean and made me more aware of our abundant knowledge of what is above because of natural

  • Oasis agro-ecosystem and date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) production in the MENA region

    556 Words  | 2 Pages

    The oasis agro-ecosystem is a combination of human settlement and a cultivated area (often a palm grove) in desert or semi-desert environment (Jaradat, 2011). Oasis expansion in arid regions is usually regarded as the opposite to desertification, referring to the process of transformation from desert to oasis in an arid region due to combined action of anthropic and natural factors (Wang, 2009). In MENA, approximately 4 million people live within the system. About 1.2 million ha of irrigated cropland are used for the production of dates, fodder, fruit trees, and vegetables. In addition, an estimated 2.7 million cattle, pastoralists within this system (FAO, 2008). Under the palm trees in the oases, a microclimate is established. Humidity, heat, and light are favorable for optimized usage of space for other crops (orange, pomegranate, vegetables, fodder and, cereals) to grow in an environment, where fertile soil is scarce (photo. xx).

    When the plane is balanced there will be an equal amount of force on the plane from side-to-side and from the front-to-back. Other moments need to be accounted for also (moment being the force of an object) such as the passengers of the plane, the cargo in the cargo hold, the fuel held in the wings that can be transferred from one side to the other via tubes to help balance the plane. All of this is calculated using the equation cg = Total moments / Total weight. That equation is essential when preparing to fly a

  • Vincent Van Gogh's The Starry Night

    510 Words  | 2 Pages

    The elements of composition conveyed in The Starry Night leading the viewers to a path toward Van Gogh's real world. These are important because "they help give structure to the layout of the painting and the way the subject is presented"(Evans). All parts of the composition are successfully united by utilizing the line. Every element suits the place where it belongs and makes it comfortable to the viewers. The use of cool colors not only calm the picture, but also create the sense of balance. The dominant use of blue color in the painting is balanced by the cool colors in the night sky. In the meantime, the darkness of the village is also comforted by the bright lights through the windows. The sharp, growing three present with perpendicular lines break into the circular shapes of the stars. Comparing to the quiet and the peaceful of the village, the above sky is extremely dramatic. The use of bright yellow, white colors draw the view's attention and increase the contrast with the dark night. The focal point in this painting is the swirling of the sky where the viewer's eyes ultimately want to focus on. The brightest colors and the heaviest texture of the entire image are applied to the sky to capture viewer's

  • History Of Oil Palm

    1275 Words  | 3 Pages

    The oil palm tree, scientifically known as Elaeis guineensis, is a member of the family Palmae and the subfamily Cocoideae, which also includes the coconut plant. The genus contains two main species, E. guineensis, which is known as the African oil palm, and E. melanococca, also known as the American oil palm. However, the latter is only valuable for hybridization. The male and female flower clusters occur on the same tree thus making it a monoecious plant. Though, the sexes are only differentiated approximately two years after plantation. This is subjective by moisture and temperate conditions, fertilization and other ecological factors (Verheye 2009).

  • Palm Trees In California

    When I went to California over spring break, I saw lots of palm trees. I saw palm trees at my aunt and uncle’s house, I saw palm trees at in n out, and I saw palm trees downtown. I thought there there was only one type of palm tree. However, a week later when I went to Hawaii, I noticed how the palm trees varied from the ones in California. Some of the palms grew coconuts, some grew dates, and others grew this poisonous yellow fruit called sago. Some palms don’t grow fruit at all. Some of the palms were tall with few palm leaves, others were short and full of palm leaves. While still in Hawaii, my dad looked up how many different types of palm trees there actually were. He found the answer to be just around 3,000. As I researched

  • Final Portfolio Reflection

    I got to observe a place that was significant to me and express that place I was in. Detail was shown a lot in this essay for example the way I showed my readers what my views looked like from my porch bench. This sentence from my snapshot essay gives you a picture of what i 'm seeing and feeling “Looking out in front of me the sky is mostly clear, the clouds are puffy scattered in the air and the trees are still bright green and the air is cool and windy.”. I could have just said “Looking out I see the sky and the clouds and trees” but that would show no detail describing the sky, clouds and trees. This is why detail is so important in writing. I learned from this essay that detail is a essential when describing something or someone. Also learned to show and not tell meaning to let your audience experience your writing through your words, actions, feeling, etc. and not tell them with a summary. This was a main concept that should be used in all different types of writing. Audience has been mentioned in this but it 's important because you have to consider things that you need to include and what 's important for your readers so they can understand. You have to remember that you and your professor are not the only readers.This can help you not leave out special information or details that you might have not mentioned.
