Blog Reflection
When I first started this unit, I wasn't very sure of the things that I had to do. Therefore I did the most obvious thing I could think of when I started which was to draw a square and in it, draw as many lines that were symmetrical and matched as much as possible. When I have started to draw a few horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines, I thought of the idea to create the patterns by creating, even more, lines which will supposedly give me more inspiration for creating a more better tesselation of shapes that would always be connected in a simple yet fascinating design. After I had a rough idea of what my design would be, I started to choose my color paintings and tested out a few vibrant colors for my design. I have tried 5 different color combinations, but in the end, I have only used two color combinations because it took too long to create anymore and use it in my designs so I used two color combinations and two basic colors. After I have started to choose my colors, I went and chose two different sized brushes, 1 small thin brush for detailed outlining near the lines to create neat designs and 1 big thick brush to color and fill in the designs. After I had chosen the brushes, I went straight to painting my ideal design tesselation, it was a mix of a circle, lines and a star with triangles near it. It was a mix of one dark color so that the other colors would look more eye-catching and appealing to people seeing it. After I have finished creating the A4 piece and have stuck it on my book, I then proceeded to work on my big A2 piece where I had to create 3 tiles instead of 1. I then used the same technique where I created lines in the tiles for inspiration and easier and more accurate designs. However, something about the first design didn't seem right as the design was supposed to be simple and tessellated. While I was creating more lines and shapes in the last tile, I managed to create an effective design using my first design as it's base. I decided to keep the circle in my second trial as a base and a more simple and famous diamond pattern. I then also changed to more simple colors as color combinations were just testings and they took too long to create as I had only a lesson left. I think that my second design was a huge success as it took account of many famous Islamic patterns as it needed to be simple-patterned and could tesselate. Overall I think that I have learned a lot from this unit as this was a very important unit to me compared to other lesson and units we have learned so far because we could use this later on in our lives. I think this unit alone has changed my view of this very subject because of how different this seemed to me than just abstract drawing as it has a bigger importance than just for practice.
