DANCE and MOVEMENT
Dance is not limited to the human form. You could choose “Dance of the Sea Turtles” for example. Or an abstract showing movement and rhythm.
Definitions:
movement: the design principle that uses some of the elements of art to produce the look of action or to cause the viewer’s eye to sweep over the art work in a certain manner.
rhythm: refers to a way of utilizing art elements to produce the look and feel of rhythmic movement with a visual tempo or beat.
This was the challenge this month for the Fast Friday Fabric Challenge. FFFC is an on-line group of art quilters who are issued a challenge the last Fri. of each month and the idea is to finish it in a week.
I chose to take a photograph of one of my quilts. I enter the photo in PSE and played with the filters. Since I was looking for movement I went to the distort filter and played until I had the design I wanted.
I wanted a piece larger than 8 1/2 x 11 so I printed it on two pieces of fabric and sewed them together. The quilting lines were there in the design and all I had to do was follow the lines. I had fun with this one.
Marilyn... this is so-o-ooo cool! and seems so easy... time I used my PSE for more than editing photos!
ReplyDeletethank you for letting us know about this post...
I think I need to get an art editing program. Not sure what you started with, but this is very vibrant. I think putting our pieces on our blogs shows them up better than the group blog. Not sure why, but I can see a difference.
