Exercise 1 - Quantifiable  information 

 Material: Coins

Fig 1.1 Material - Coins (29.4.2025-Week2)

First, I decided to separate the coins by color. Although some of the coins have turned slightly black due to deterioration, I roughly separated them into three colors: gold, silver, and copper.

 Categorization: Color & Size

Fig 1.2 Sorted by color (29.4.2025-Week2)

Next, I lined up the coins without regard to color to clarify their sizes.

Fig 1.3 Sorted by size (29.4.2025-Week2)

 Design: Spiral 

Once I knew the size, I arranged the coins in a spiral shape to make it look better.

My grandfather used to say that life is like a snail. As you grow, your body gets bigger and the space in your shell gets bigger. Similarly, people gain experience and knowledge as they grow, and carry an invisible shell. This is my interpretation. There are times in life when you are shining, times when you are falling behind, and times when you are ordinary. There is no stability. You may think that you are spending your teenage years in a dazzling way, but then you may have a hole in your heart in your late teens, or you may think that a golden age has arrived when you overcome your mental illness, but then you may fall behind for a long period of time. I think it's different for everyone, but that's how my life is so far. I don't know yet whether I will shine again in the future or sink into darkness. But the coin has already been tossed. What happens next depends on my efforts and luck.

 Task 2: Visual Analysis & Ideation   Taichi Hirano 0366711 Bachelor of International Hospitality management (Honours) This is the Module Information Booklet for this module: MODULE ASSIGNMENT BRIEFS   Brief Visual Analysis Title : "BACK TO THE FUTURE " Artist : Drew Struzan Year  : 1985 Size   : 68 cm × 104 cm (27.0 in × 41.0 in) Medium:  Movie Poster Source : https://filmartgallery.com/collections/back-to-the-future-movie-posters/products/back-to-the-future-5  Phase 1: Observation This artwork is drawn in a realistic style. The background is simple, with just a large parking lot and two streetlights. In the center is a shining time machine, two flames crawling on the ground, and a boy looking at his watch with a surprised look on his face. The sun is setting in the sky, and the orange of the sunset is swallowed up by the blue of night. The colors used are roughly divided into red, blue, black, and white, which creates a visual balance.

  TASK 1 Exploration Taichi Hirano 0366711 Bachelor of International Hospitality management (Honours) 1. This is the Module Information Booklet for this module: MODULE ASSIGNMENT BRIEFS     2. These are the design principles that are taught in this module:         　　　　　　　　Gestalt Theory　 Title : "Day and Night" Artist : M.C.Escher Year  : 1938  Size   :39.2 cm × 67.6 cm (15 7/16 in × 26 5/8 in) Medium: Woodcut Source : https://mcescher.com/gallery/most-popular/#iLightbox[gallery_image_1]/7 Why This Art? : I came across this work while researching Gestalt theory. I have seen many other paintings, but as someone who was born and raised in the countryside, I was drawn to the scenery in this painting. What I like about this painting is that the same scenery is contrasted between day and night on the left and right, and I was fascinated by the way the geese flying in the sky fly from day to night and from n...

TASK1 (Exploration) Revised version

Image
 Task1 Exploration  Taichi Hirano 0366711 Bachelor of International Hospitality management (Honours) This is the Module Information Booklet for this module: MODULE ASSIGNMENT BRIEFS   My interests: The art/design work  Contrast   The contrast created by the two opposing colors creates visual stimulation. It can also visually convey themes such as light and darkness, joy and sadness. I am interested in it because I think I can express it even though I am not good at drawing. Emphasis By inserting a single, easily recognizable point of color into a painting or poster, you can clarify the important parts of the work, or conversely, give meaning to the surrounding objects. I became interested in this technique and wanted to try using it to create art with a message. Haemony and Unity  I think this is the main reason why I find beauty in artworks. It takes a lot of knowledge to create a work with harmony and unity created by similar colors and objects of t...
