Color, Light and Shadow


The dimensions of hue—pure colors, blended hues, and tonality—are covered in Chapter 6. Primary colors offer strong contrast and are regarded as stable. Value, which can be altered by using black and white to create various tints and hues, describes how bright or dark a hue is. Shading aids in the creation of patterns and spatial clarity, whereas light levels in compositions mix together.

The intensity dimension—which describes how bright or dark a hue is—is covered in Chapter 8. Chroma strength may affect saturation, or intensity, which can be added to flat pure colors. Glazing is the process of building depth and harmony by stacking translucent complimentary colors.

Chapter 9 concludes with a discussion of the temperature dimension, which relates to a color's warmth or coldness. It is often believed that cool colors are related with coldness and warm hues with heat. The temperature of a color may be altered by combining it with other colors and hues, and in a composition, it's important to balance these colors.

Since temperature affects both the metal and its surroundings, it is particularly significant when it comes to metals. Silver is a less valuable metal and is usually thought of as being colder than gold, which is a more expensive metal.

Rhythm and Emphasis - Blog 6

This week, we covered the fundamentals of interior design in class. Any designer should be able to comprehend them. Interior designers adhere to certain laws and criteria known as principles to create places that are both visually beautiful and useful. Balance, harmony, rhythm, proportion and scale, emphasis, contrast, and details are the seven major tenets of interior design. To feel at ease in a space, one must possess balance. It involves arranging several objects in a room in a way that creates visual balance. Balance may be achieved by utilizing texture, color, and geometry. Balance comes in three flavors: radial, asymmetrical, or informal, and symmetrical or formal.  When visual components are positioned on each side of a central line in a symmetrical manner, equivalent mass. When two sides appear complete and logical while having distinct visual weights, this is known as asymmetrical balance.  In radial symmetry, the design parts radiate either inward or outward from a ...

Point, Line, Form, Plane

Blog Nr. 1   Point, Line, Form, Plane   Point: By reading Chapter 1 of Francis D.K. Chings book is that, the concept of a point in spatial organization and design, describing it as a static, centralized position in space. It highlights its visual significance when placed within a visual field, and the concept of two points connecting them, which can define an axis perpendicular to the line. An example could be a living room axis. Where on one point is a fireplace and on the opposite side of the room is a large picture window, where two points define an axis.   Line: The transition from a point to a line in spatial design, highlights its importance in conveying direction, movement, and growth. Lines are crucial in visual construction, with their dimensions, character, and orientation influencing their appearance. Examples of linear elements in architecture include columns, obelisks, and towers. Lines are used in supporting structures, forming building designs, and accommod...

Blog 8 - Drawings and Rendering

Image
Chapter 9 of Sketching Interiors discusses the importance of freehand sketching for presentations, focusing on common drawings for interior designers like floor plans, elevations, isometric drawings, and perspectives. These drawings are typically created using markers, ink, and colored pencils. Adding entourage, such as plants, cars, or people, helps create scale, dimension, and a realistic feel. The book provides detailed instructions on drawing various types of plants, human figures, and cars, as well as their placement near entrances and other important locations. Floor plans, which show room layouts and furnishings, can become three-dimensional with a wash-like effect. The book also discusses the significance of section, perspective, and isometric views in drawing interiors. This week we also talked about our container project and the precedent studies. The most interesting container homes for me was the Old Lady from Adam Kalkin. Adjacency Matrix  Bubble Diagram Box Diagram Lo...
