Hi! Welcome to our bench blog!
Our group's theme is Aztecs meet San Diego.
We wanted the upper portion of the bench to represent Aztecs by creating traditional, angular shapes and warm colors. We also wanted to make this part of the bench not as bold as the bottom. Therefore, we all experimented with various line usage to discover best possible solution in which a center of focus is created without distracting from the other part of the bench. However, we struggled with how to make the top lines “thinner” than the bottom, but also stand out so people can see it. Finally we ended up with a single line with the turtle's patterns. In this way, by looking from a far distance, it will not only stand out, but at the same time it won’t be as “thick” as the bottom part. In addition, reusing the turtle template as fill for the top lines creates harmony among the separate pieces.
The lower portion of the bench will represent the beach by using cool colors. For this part, we decided to apply what we learned about colors from previous weeks on our design.Our group, therefore, will place the turtles on top of the surfboards in order to create the illusion of one color is overlapping and transparent to the one below.
This is a great opportunity for us to experience what we learned in class and apply it to a real world project, and we can’t wait to see our group's, as well as other groups’, amazing finished benches on campus.
