Part 1 - is Here
Part 2 is Here
In Part 3 she is talking about Dynamics and Movement.
If we want to use a lot of
small elements in our wrap and create well balanced piece we need to arrange the
bits properly, give them direction and create flow and movement.
The End!
I'd like to thank Maria again for the generosity in sharing her knowledge and experience!
We need to be sure that this
multitude of small elements is not positioned randomly or just thrown together
but arranged so that all of them have got general direction in common, a flow
similar to some nature phenomenon like fluid and harmonious movement of shoal
of tiny fish.
The dynamic is always
associated with organic movement of life and nature in contrast to static and
geometrical compositions which are often considered as artificial and somewhat
industrial. Fluid movement of the nature is the source of our inspiration.
This picture of a beautiful
maple tree may look as a random array of small elements but it’s just at first
glance.
There are a few centres from
which the elements are spreading in groups and in different directions. Every
branch is equivalent to a group of similar elements with their own directions
of movement. We could do the same in our composition of the wrap, we group
details. At first we define the
position of the centres of the flow – the largest or the brightest or the most
prominent element.
This arrangement should be
done according to the same recommendations as above ( avoid stark symmetry,
consider how it’ll look wrapped, balance…)
When we decided on the position of the main central elements we can
start filling the entire surface of our piece working with the array of small
elements.
Here the small leaves follow
the lines of the wrap folded around the figure adding the softness and feminine
feel.
To create more dramatic
impression and add more energy to our composition we can use more vibrant
elements like this spiral design with the centre of the spiral positioned just off
geometrical centre of the wrap.
And here is a finished piece
in all its glory!
