National Taiwan University of the Arts

Three students of the national taiwan university of the arts have created 100 popsicles made from polluted waters of taiwan’s lakes, rivers, beaches and ports to raise awareness on the problem of pollution. setting aside the flavor, the polluted water popsicles contain collected sewage samples that were first frozen and then preserved in polyester resin. wrapped in packaging also designed by the team, the project highlights the contrast between what is beautiful and what is problematic for the environment.

Elements & Principles of Art

Elements of Art

(building blocks of visual art)

Line

Line is the path of a point moving through space.

Shape / Form

Shape implies spatial form and is usually perceived as two-dimensional. Form has depth, length, and width and resides in space. It is perceived as three-dimensional.

Color

Colors all come from the three primaries and black and white. They have three properties – hue, value, and intensity.

Value

Value refers to relative lightness and darkness and is perceived in terms of varying levels of contrast.

Texture

Texture refers to the tactile qualities of a surface (actual) or to the visual representation of such surface qualities (implied).

Space / Perspective

Space refers to the area in which art is organized. Perspective is representing a volume of space or a 3-dimensional object on a flat surface.

Principles of art

(use or arrangement of the building blocks of visual art)

Pattern

Pattern refers to the repetition or reoccurrence of a design element, exact or varied, which establishes a visual beat.

Rhythm / Movement

Rhythm or movement refers to the suggestion of motion through the use of various elements.

Proportion / Scale

Proportion is the size relationship of parts to a whole and to one another. Scale refers to relating size to a constant, such as a human body.

Balance

Balance is the impression of equilibrium in a pictorial or sculptural composition. Balance is often referred to as symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial.

Unity

Unity is achieved when the components of a work of art are perceived as harmonious, giving the work a sense of completion.

Emphasis

Emphasis refers to the created center of interest, the place in an artwork where your eye first lands.

The idea for this piece stemmed from bee's honeycombs and the function of a beehive. On my map their are three levels and each represents the social class system similar to that of a beehive.
