Description
To speak visual means to convey your thoughts through a medium that is discernible by the sense of sight. Visual arts come in incalculable varieties of form, all of which speak to viewers visually. The purpose of these art forms is to express to people images of feelings and concepts that would otherwise be impossible to convey through the spoken word. In this piece, I sought to exhibit the endless design possibilities of using primitive shapes in composing a scene. Some shapes stayed low poly and the others went to become abstractly defined shapes that are significantly higher in poly counts. My purpose here is not to display realism at all but instead to depict a scene composed of mostly primitive shapes and clean minimalistic shadings. The image in my mind was something of a brightly colored world with glossy surfaces and floating structures. I wasn't thinking of something magical and dreamy that would be desirable to live in. Instead of wanted to build a world that is a pleasure to look at but doesn't make enough sense to want to be in. This is the world I have spoken visually through this piece. With all those criteria for myself in mind, this is what I have created. I can say that I have stuck with the plan throughout. Though I cannot say that I am completely happy with this piece as I do not believe that any art work can ever be perfect, but this result was what I have aimed for and spoken visually with.
