#crpbasicdesignandplanningstudio

  In this week's assignment, we were asked to create a conceptual drawing, a computer drawing, and an abstract design by developing our assignment last week. We created these drawings with reference to our final project, May I Take Your Order.

Picture 1.1 My Conceptual Drawing by Freehand

  In Picture 1.1, you can see my conceptual diagram. While creating my conceptual diagram, I tried to give more clear and detailed information. I showed the connections between places with the help of arrows. I also used arrows to indicate the flow within the space. I indicated the open areas with dashed lines.

Picture 1.2 My Conceptual Diagram by Computer

  In Picture 1.2, I showed my conceptual diagram by computer drawing. I used one colour, green to indicate trees. I used stars to show reference points. While I created this conceptual diagram, I used PowerPoint.

Picture 1.3 My Abstract Design

  In Picture 1.3, you can see my abstract composition about conceptual diagram. I put a big yellow circle to the left of the composition to show the meeting area. Also, I put two small circles to the right of the composition to indicate the reference points. I used yellow lines/ rectangles to show the main flow over the entire area.

.....

We created two conceptual drawings of our final project “May I Take Your Order?”. One drawing by hand and the other in computer drawing.

This is my freehand conceptual drawing. I used little arrows to show the flow within the field. I hatched the reference points. Also, I used dashed lines to show the transition between areas.

And this is the computer drawing of my final project. I used PS when I created my drawing. I used red color to show important areas and points. The meeting area is the main area in the entire field. Therefore, I thought that the meeting area is an important area.

......

  In this in-class exercise, we were asked to draw three conceptual drawings using two different styles and one freestyle.

 In my first conceptual drawing, I used a bubble diagram to show the area I created in my final project. In my second drawing, I wanted to use a more abstract representation technique. And finally, my third conceptual drawing is my freestyle drawing.

  In the first in-class exercise of the second term, we were asked to create a composition that complies with basic design principles using daily stationery objects on our desktop. We also made a composition with a computer program to measure our computer skills.

  The purpose of this in-class exercise is to measure and evaluate how much we can reflect basic design principles and our computer skills.

  In the photo below you can see the composition I created on my desktop.

  First I created the grid for my entire composition and then continued my composition on this grid.

 Secondly, in the photo below you can see the composition I created on the computer.

  I used PS when creating this composition.

Volume, Mass, Scale

Assignment #5: The Wire(d) Nest

 I was inspired by anthills while creating my design. Inspired by those nests, I tried to create a home in which a flying creature could live. I assumed this creature was 1 cm in size. I thought circular areas would be more suitable for a flying creature to move more easily. Therefore, I paid more attention to using circular shapes in my design. I also used two interlocking rectangles in my design. The reason I used these rectangles was to show more clearly that the nest has volume in the horizontal and vertical planes. I tried to create a more abstract and conceptual nest design by going beyond the clear shape that appears in our minds when we say the bird's nest. Since a flying creature evokes freedom in me, I wanted to reflect this in my design and I started with this idea. I wanted my work to appear more abstract and independent in all dimensions.

 I tried to use the principles of similarity and continuity from the Gestalt Principles in my design. You can see the similarity principle in the two big circles (in the drawing, 1.1) and the continuity principle in the circles I used at the entrance of the slot (in the drawing, 1.2). You can also see the similarity example in the two rectangles I use horizontally and vertically.

Used Materials:

I used 3 meters of wire to design my nest. The diameter of the wire I used for the design is 0.5 mm. My nest is 23 cm high and 28 cm wide.  In some parts, I formed a whole by connecting the wires together.

Micro Model

We built a micro model through matchboxes. The aim of this exercise is to explore different volumes.

Assignment #4: Music to My Eyes (Vol.2)

I created this composition inspired by Fazıl Say's composition for Cello Sonato II Hopa. The composition consists of 5 minutes, but I used the 01.56-02.50 seconds interval of this composition in my composition. This piece reminded me of the harshness and dangers of the Black Sea. I used that interval because I thought the seconds interval I used reflected the waves very well. I preferred to use black, white and blue colors in my composition. In addition to black and white, I chose blue to represent the sea. 

 The meanings of the colors in this composition:

Black: I used the color black to represent the     harsh intro and gradations in the piece. 

White: I used the color white to represent sounds     that sound softer to me when I listen to the piece.

Blue: I used blue as the transition timbre     between white and black. Also, I used blue to represent the feeling     of the sea.

The meanings of geometrical shapes in this composition:

Triangles: I chose to use triangles for     high-pitched and sharp sounds.

Circles: I tried to show the soft and calm parts of     the piece with circles.

Squares: I used squares for sounds that sound     more dominant and fuller to my ear.

The idea behind my final composition is to make you feel the danger of imbalance in Black Sea waters.

FoR : Frame of Reference 

We were asked to arrange four circles of different colors on a PowerPoint slide according to the frame of reference. We created a composition by simply changing the colors of the circles without changing their size.
