turning a painting into a landscape into a building?

For the second project I concentrated on a few main points from the Churuchet House. The angled facade, natural ventilation, framed view, open areas, and ramps caught my eye. In the end, I implanted the building into the facade and concentrated on the angles and open areas.

manipulating a painting

So I guess I should probably start writing in this blog. The first project was actually pretty interesting. We manipulated a painting to better understand the cubist view. There was different interpretations everytime, not only between different people but with each time I looked at it, too. Some of my ideas were to smush, expand, or fold the different images inside the painting. Folding it back vs. folding it foward could have a whole different meaning. Then I figured I would cut it in all sorts of angles because you have to look at it in all angles to paint this cubist painting. By the end of the first project I had a whole new sense of what cubism is. I realized a few different things about my painting. It was in a way a labyrinth. Also, there was only one diagonal which switched views such as a plan view. It became a transition. There were also many different layers even though there were only two objects. I thought of this project in a static structural view rather than spaces of each piece in a room. I will put pictures up later of the different ideas.
