Forces and Energie: Research, Photos and Drawings

The Ist Chandelier Drawing

This drawing is the translation from my vector drawing done at the creek. The force recorded was now put on the chandelier, my chosen object from the course outline. The broken down drawing from the force is visible in the background. This is only an indication of what the final drawing mite look like. This is the base for starting Drawing_04 and_05.



Chosen Drawing for Project 1


I chose this drawing to create an AutoCad drawing for Project 1. I like it as it shows a type of rapid that seems to be common within the web or system of the stream. It shows the force of gravity and pushing of the water. This drawing was made trying to break down the web of rapids towards the end of the class.



Forces: Research

Unknown Artist No1, Stairwell-light graffiti


This image is a manipulated photograph. Curvy shaped stripes of light surrounding a structure constructed out of concrete and metals, are forces that make their way through space. I like this work as it shows alot of dynamic and the mixture and play of coulour adds to the idea of force. This is because the stripes appear like lights of cars on the street, when changed into 'fast motion' on tape, a manipulation in the sped of time.





Unknown Artist No 2, Dangerous Games, 2001-03, painted Bronze




This image is an interesting one. The white figure on the little black podium is a boy who's arms have been displaced to a different part of his body. The other body parts also seem a bit twisted. With one hand he's holding up some kind of elongated object. His whole body position on the other side is directed against the forces of gravity. this indicates that this work is made out of a stable material that can go against the forces of gravity such as bronze and other metals.



Unknown Artist No3, Rubberjohnny


This work has a very strong concept of forces on the human body. A person has been squished and bent into place so that the head is not visible anymoreand nither are his features or neck. Even the ribcage seems kinda out of place. Forces acted upon the body of this person but it is not necessarily gravity itself but forces actinf upon the body from the top, pushing and deforming the bones and skin until inability of recognition. This work grabed my attention immidietly as it seems impossible to bend someone into such a position without breaking the bones and blood exiting the body.






Drawing_03


This is the site where we decided to record forces upon nature and water in class time just nearby our studios. These rapids seem small and uninteresting but are part of a complicated web of forces acting upon each other and the site itself. A medium size waterfall was also just further up from the stream influencing the speed and impact of the mostly flowing water.


Drawings...........

These Drawings represent single rapids of flowing water in a small creek or river. The arrows are vectors and represent different amounts of force upon an object in this case the water.










Depending on how strongly or lightly the arrow is drawn the acting force upon the water changes. I tried to use different kinds of arrows or vectors and also experimenting with scale and different patterns of arrows. But they are drawings of single parts of the rapid system so they could easily be extended as other forces in nature would act upon these. The small drawings could easily stand by themselves and it would still be interesting looking at them. This is because these arrows make a force apparent that we usually don' t see or pay attention to.



This Drawing represents one or a single rapid, but a group or formation of forces acting upon each other as well as the water itself. Again the thickness and way of drawing represents the strength of each force or energie, as well as the aesthetic of the vectors themselves.



These drawing underneathe shows the force pushing the water down and then pressure pushing it back up causing white riffles n the creek. The squiggly, lightly drawn arrows represent the water slowing down and starting to flow. It indicates the decrease of the forces.



This Drawing was one of my 1st ones and i didn't quite understand the concept of vectors. Suprisingly i was able to create a drawing with my own coding and system. The more roundly shaped blobs, strongly drawn represent the reflection of some of the rapids at the time when the water is pulled downwards by gravity (a sunny day). The strongly drawn lines coming out of the shapes, is the water being pushed away from gravity through force. Lightly drawn vectors show indicate the water flowing around rocks etc.







Another one of my 1st ones. again i didn't use vectors but a similar coding like the drawing above, forces acting upon water in alimited space (unless rise of water level).






Later on, I translated the Drawings above into a drawing with vectors or arrows, which helped me to understand the concept of drawing force.
