Mambo Numba Fiveee (aka HW#5) (:

-Find a surrealistic painting from the previous guide, and describe the following about it-

"Arrival Of The Flower Ship"

Vladimir Kush

How is scale and Proportion integrated into a surrealistic piece of art? Describe the effect

-Scale and Proportion are both used in this piece of art in the aspect that the flowers giant in proportion to the people and to the boat. An average person is 5 - 6ft tall. These flowers would have to be at least a hundred feet tall. The mere scale of the theses flowers gives this picture a dream-like effect.

Discuss proportion and the notion of ideal geometry in a composition. Give and example.

-Proportions in art created when the size of an object is judged against another to find its accurate measurement. An example of this would be in figure drawing. When drawing the human figure, it is best drawn idealistically when the height of a human is made of 7 head lengths; or the wing span of the figure.

-Ideal geometry are forms that are created with mathematical ratios. Ideal geometry, or also named, the Golden Mean, was created by ancient Greeks. Here is an example by Thomas Peploe Wood's of the Golden mean in his painting. Width is to length, as length is to width, as length is to length plus width.

What is the Golden Rectangle and provide an example in a piece of art.

The Mona Lisa By Leonardo DiVinci

The Golden rectangle was used by Leonardo to create the Mona Lisa, he used the proportions of her nose to create the measurements of the rest of the picture.

Discuss your current final project and what will be your inspiration.

-In my final project i was inspired by the golden ration in a humans hand. I loved how the measurements of each joint is a mathematical measurement of one another. So i will be using this concept in a comic book-like illustration. I will use the fist to punch a man's face (which is also a part of the golden ratio), and using this concept I want to illustrate a back alley fight/crime scene investigation.

I'm sooooo excited for the end result!
