WEEK 2 - COMMUNICATE A NOUN - LINES

Craft: To create my drinking vessel, I used the Adobe Photoshop application. While in Photoshop I used a wide tip paintbrush with black ink and a thin tip paintbrush with white ink. I first used long horizontal strokes with the wide brush to create the outline of the body of the drinking vessel and then short vertical strokes to outline the handle of the drinking vessel. After finishing the outline, I went through with the thin brush and created the features of the vessel.

Concept: The concept of this piece is to show the simplicity of the drinking vessel. The image shows a common drinking vessel that we may use on a daily basis in its most simple form.

Composition: I arranged the white lines in this image in a specific way to show the characteristics of the vessel. The circular white lines on the top left show the spout of the vessel, the white horizontal lines on the body show the grooves of the vessel, and the single white line on the handle emphasize the shape of the handle. I wanted the viewer's eyes to be immediately drawn to these white lines.
