Contrast+and+Unity

Contrast and Unity are Principles of Organization. The Elements of Art and the Principles of Design are used to create either a overall feeling of Contrast (difference), or one of Unity (similarity).



=Challenge:= = = =**Unity and variety are achieved by the use of both the elements and principles of design. Depending on the particular design situation, the architect or designer may desire to emphasize one or the other.**=

Part -1
==**Find a good quality photograph (no less than 600ppi in one dimension) of a famous building that you really like the design of. Make sure that the image you select clearly shows the main architectural forms. Avoid images that have too many distractions such as people in the foreground etc. Here are some examples:**==

Sydney opera House Guggneheim Museum, New York



Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao Spain Leaning Tower of Pisa - Italy


 * You can use the link below to find some great buildings or search on your own **

= = =**Using the notability App on your iPad, Annotate your photograph with text and drawing to ANALYZE the building showing how the architect has used the ELEMENTS and PRINCIPLES of DESIGN to create a architectural structure that results in UNITY, CONTRAST, or sometimes a combination of both.**=
 * Great buildings.**

**Write a short reflection which answers the questions:**

 * 1) ** How did the architect use the elements and principles of design to create this great building? **
 * 2) ** Was the overall result of the architect's composition unity or contrast and why do you think the architect chose on or the other? **

Using your analysis from Part -1
==Create a wearable hat that is a 3d representation of your chosen building. Interpret and be inspired by the building you have chosen, but do not copy it exactly or try to make an exact model of it. Focus on the part or parts of the building that stand out the most to you. To successfully complete this project use the D.R.I.V. E. approach. ALL OF THE WORK BELOW MUST BE POSTED IN YOUR E-PORTFOLIO - REMEMBER DOCUMENTATION OF YOUR PROCESS IS IMPORTANT!==

**DEFINE**- I have given you the basic problem (create a hat) but you should further define it in your own terms.
==RESEARCH - You have already begun your research by choosing a building and doing the analysis in part 1. Now go further to really identify the most important parts of the building and what you will focus on.==

VERIFY - After choosing your best idea, build a prototype out of cardboard. Pay attention to how you are attaching the parts together to form a structure. Neatness Counts!
==EVALUATE - When you have completed your hat, you will share it with the class. In your critique you will take notes about what people say about your work. Write a short reflection on that feedback. Decide whether or not you feel it is valid and how you would further refine your project. What did you learn a from this process?==

=NOTE: BE INVENTIVE, WACKY AND CREATIVE - HAVE FUN WITH THIS PROJECT!=


 * Photograph your building inspired hat from at least three different points of view. **
 * Photograph yourself wearing the hat. **
 * Post all of your images to your e-portfolio **
