The reading was a very smooth transition into what we've been working on. The figure ground relationships we form when looking at the image and line study brings positive and negative to our attention, giving us twice the room for making similarities between line and image. Figure ground helps us to find balance, and create interesting compositions as well, to create a sense of depth in our line studies.
The framing and cropping is essential to our relating our lines studies to our digital images, and creating our simple narratives in the juxtapositions. Resizing our lines and images allows us to create similarities and find new meaning and explore new parts in our pieces. As a result, the frames created by these crops help to eliminate the rest of the image and help us focus on whats in front of us. I think that that's originally how the frame came about. That way we aren't distracted by other things that we might add into the content we are looking at.
The Figure ground relationships are imperative to our logotypes in Type class as well, relying heavily on legibility, and the space of and around the letter forms.
Framing and Cropping is in wide use in our Color, Drawing, and Form class as well. The way we zoom into the images of our letters help provide interesting compositions, and convey the words we want. A stationary object can, through the use of cropping and framing, be active in the space around it.
