Task 3: Final Design
Title: Solar Energy Archer
Rationale
This artwork is titled ‘Solar Energy Archer’ a digital
illustration depicting how humans look for opportunities to harness solar
power as an energy source. My intention is to capture how despite our
small existence compared to the sun, we find ourselves aiming towards big
goals in renewable energy. At the bottom of the artwork stands an archer
pointing an electrical plug towards his target, the sun. The deep blue
background creates a stark contrast against the yellow sun and orange
electrical plug. The Archer points towards the sun causing the viewer’s
gaze to move diagonally toward the sun. Emphasis is placed on the sun, due
to contrasting colors and movement. Balance is achieved in the
composition, due to the Archer’s visual weight being balanced by the
sun’s. I hope my artwork prompts people to view solar and other renewable
energy sources as the future. Also, they find ways to incorporate it into
their daily lives.
Final Reflection
What have I learned in this module?
During this module, I learned a lot about design principles, how to
identify them, and skillfully use them to improve your artwork.
What did I enjoy the most?
I especially enjoyed Task 3, because I was able to put what I learned
into action.
What did I not enjoy the most?
Having to use Illustrator for task 3 because it's not my forte. I
struggle to use the software as skillfully as I would like.
What have I learned about myself through this module?
That I can manage my time well and do my work continuously over
time.
What has changed and what has not in my learning journey?
Throughout this module, I learned how to analyze artwork and explain
my own artwork to others. I definitely have gotten better at
documenting my progress as I'm working on my assignments. I remain the
same with my time management skills as at the beginning of this
course.
What could be improved in this module?
Not much, maybe an in-person lecture on composition itself would be
nice.
