Contra la Gravedad

Photography Exhibition

 "Contra la Gravedad"

Para que una imagen nos transmita lo que buscamos para esta exposición tenemos dos opciones:

- Disparar en el momento preciso: cuando nuestro retratado está riendo, haciendo algo divertido o gracioso, es decir, cuando el momento surge y el 

fotógrafo dispara en el momento preciso.

- Construir la escena:

. Pedir a nuestro retratado que haga algo insólito, gracioso, diferente, o algo cotidiano que sabemos que le hace feliz, y lo demuestre, para que la fotografía lo transmita.

. Además, podemos incorporar elementos que fomenten ese efecto de diversión y humor: desde algo accesorio como unas gafas, una piruleta, un sombrero, hasta pedirles que hagan un gesto inesperado, situarse en un lugar poco convencional, o añadir algo que convierta la escena en algo insólito, 

divertido y diferente.

Os dejamos, a continuación, algunos ejemplos que pueden ayudar en esta 

construcción de la escena fotografiada:

UNIT 5: GEOMETRIC SHAPES IN ART

GEOMETRIC SHAPES IN ART

ACTIVITY 1: SEVEN SHAPES PROJECT

The seven shapes Project consists of using seven different geometric shapes or the same shape repeated seven times like the following example.

  
 ACTIVITY 2: BECOME AN ARTIST USING GEOMETRIC SHAPES

Where can we find Geometry in Art? Well, this is your project. You are going to become an Artist using Geometric Shapes. Check the following Artists and base your work on one of their works of Art.  

STEPS: 

1 - You select an Artist (from the list below or a different one that you like) and search about his/her works of Art and his/her life. 

2 - You choose one of his/works of art and print it. 

3 - You became an Artist! It is not about imitating, it is about using the work of Art you printed as an inspiration for your own work of Art. 

ARTISTS USING GEOMETRIC SHAPES

- Wassily Kandinsky

- Kazimir Malevich

- Pablo Picasso

- George Braque

UNIT 3: ANGLES, DEFINITIONS AND BASIC CONSTRUCTIONS

UNIT 3: ANGLES

3.1 DEFINITION

In geometry, an angle is the figure formed by two rays, called the arms of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle.

3.2. TYPES OF ANGLES

• ACUTE ANGLES (Ángulos agudos): angles smaller than right angles (less than 90°)

• RIGHT ANGLES (ángulos rectos): angles equal to 90º.

• STRAIGHT ANGLES (ángulos llanos): angles equal to 180º.

• OBTUSE ANGLES (ángulos obtusos): angles larger than a right angle and smaller than a straight angle (between 90° and 180°)

• REFLEX ANGLE (ángulo cóncavo): angles between 180º and 360º

• ROUND OR FULL ANGLES (ángulos completos) : angles equal to 360º.

  

3.2.COPYING AN ANGLE

If we want to draw an angle equal to a given one with vertex at a given point V, we must follow the next steps:

3.3.ANGLE BISECTOR

The angle bisector is a line which divides the angle in two equal parts. Each point of an angle bisector is equidistant from the sides of the angle. 

3.4. DRAWING ANGLES WITH THE SET SQUARE RULERS
 

3.5.  ADDING AND SUBTRACTING ANGLES WITH THE COMPASS

 The addition of two angles is another angle whose measure is the addition of the measures of those two angles.

The subtraction of two angles is another angle whose measure is the subtraction of the measures of those two angles.

UNIT 2: PARALLEL AND PERPENDICULAR LINES, SET SQUARE RULERS.

UNIT 2: PARALLEL  AND PERPENDICULAR LINES, SET SQUARE RULERS. 

These are a few videos to give you information about parallel, perpendicular and intersecting lines and how to draw them using the set square rulers. Then feel free to get artistic!!! 

DEFINITIONS:  

PARALLEL LINES are lines that never join or meet. 

PERPENDICULAR LINES are lines that join or meet making 90º angles (right angles)

SET SQUARE RULERS

                 45º Set Square Ruler (Escuadra)                                 60º-30º Set Square Ruler (Cartabón)

How do we use the set square?

You have to handle your set square softly and with accuracy without exercising too much pressure on them, only the needed one to avoid movement.

PARALLEL LINES are lines that never join. 

HOW TO DRAW PARALLEL LINES

1. The 45 set square hypotenuse (longest side) is placed attached to the line to which we want to draw the parallels (GUIDE).
2. The 60-30 set square hypotenuse is attached to the 45 set square leg.
3. Fix the 60-30 set square and move the 45 set square upwards or downwards drawing the desired parallel lines along its hypotenuse.

PERPENDICULAR LINES are lines that join making 90º angles (right angles)

HOW TO DRAW PERPENDICULAR LINES

If we want to draw perpendicular lines to one direction, we will have to follow the first two steps as stated for parallel lines and then the following ones:

1. Having fixed the 60-30 set square, the 45 set square is turned until the other leg is attached to the hypotenuse of the 60-30 set square.
2. Draw the perpendicular line along the hypotenuse of the 45 set square.

Let's review how to draw parallel and perpendicular lines using the triangular set squares.

UNIT 2: OPERATIONS WITH LINE SEGMENTS

2. Operations with Line Segments

2.1. Adding and subtracting line segments

       a) Adding

•  The addition of two segments is another segment that begins at the origin of the first segment and ends  at   the end of the second segment. 
• The length of the new segment is the addition of the measures of those two segments.

      b) Subtrating

• The subtration of two segments is another segment that takes as the origin, the end of the smaller segment and as the end, the end of the biggest segment.
• The length of the segment difference is equal to the subtraction of the lengths of two segments.

 

2.2. Line Bisector

• The line bisector is a perpendicular line that passes through the midpoint of the segment, so it divides the segment in two equal parts.

To draw a line bisector we use the compass and the rulers. Let's check how to draw it with this video:

THEORY EXTRA (NOT FOR THE ARTBOOK)

2.3. How to divide a line segment into equal parts (Thales theorem)

1. Draw a ray that shares the origin of point A with the line segment segment AB.

 

2. Mark in the ray as many equal units as you want to obtain starting from point A. In this case, we are goint to divide the segment into three equal parts.

 

3. Join the point B with the end of the ray. For each of the divisions of the ray, draw parallel lines to the segment joining B. The points obtained in the segment AB represent 3 equal parts.
