The moon also has craters, which are also circular; that\u2019s essentially the origin of this piece\u2019s composition. While designing various intricate circles, I heavily employed Gestalt principles like closure and continuation\u2026 When placing these hundred circles onto this enormous moon, I first divided them into three categories\u2014hand-drawn circles, circles from photographs, and non-planar circles. Among these, I frequently used inversion\u2014though it depended on the situation. Most non-three-dimensional circles retained their original white background to maintain overall harmony in the image. I don\u2019t like circles that are completely filled\u2014they feel too crowded and deliberate\u2014so I intentionally left white spaces on this \u201clunar surface,\u201d even though it\u2019s a black moon. These three groups of circles allow the audience to perceive this categorization through proximity and similarity. I was initially worried whether the final effect would be clear enough, but it seems my classmates noticed these patterns. I also employed some identical techniques in both analog and digital circles and intentionally arranged them close to each other, so that everyone could grasp the difference between realizing an idea digitally and physically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":19152,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19151","student-work","type-student-work","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-drawing-imaging"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
