GOALS of Assignment
-The goal of this assignment is to point out the difference between texture, symbols, and text and use crayon rubbing to overlap these elements.
New Skills that I Learned
-I learned that you can create cool looking designs with ease by just using a crayon and a relief surface and the difference between Texture, Symbols, and Text.
Critique on Crayon Rubbing 1
-While creating the first crayon rubbing, I tried to use a nice warm color scheme since the sun was radiating a great amount of heat and since the AWC logo has sun like rays coming out of it. Then using the black to make the text of AGUA-NO stand out.
There was also the gallery room nearby so using the relief of the word GALLERY, I placed it multiple times in the center of the page not really completed all the way since I rushed to fill in the space.
Critique on Crayon Rubbing 2
-On this second crayon rubbing, there was a total opposite color scheme of the first one just to mix things up except for the orange background. Using Purple, Blue, gray, and a subtle warm orange, being close to the rest rooms I rubbed over the words in both gray and purple one being upside down for a more dynamic point of view, as for the orange background there was a perfectly placed palm tree trunk for my use and laid my paper on there. To complete the over-lapping of symbols and texture I finally added multiple 1s and 5s through the top half of the paper completing the second crayon rubbing and also the assignment.

ReplyDeleteIn crayon rubbing 1, it has warm colors and black making it feel like sand and the desert. The colors also give a fire like and smoky feeling to it as well. The symbols themselves come from the campus logo and the text reads, “Agua” and “Non-potable”. Non-potable water is water one cannot drink and in the desert like this, it’s a death sentence especially with how the words are in black. The word “Gallery” is written several times over as well as the number 110. 110 can be interpreted as the temperature we often experience while here. “Gallery” can be interpreted as a place of display, just like how a college is a display of knowledge. AWC’s logo is done twice, once in yellow and once in red, possibly showing a love/hate relationship with the school. “Gallery” is also repeated over and over in red, maybe showing his anxiety and/or hatred for being put on display. Overall this piece can relate to it being uncomfortable in his environment and feeling as if he’s under constant observation to be judged by others.
