Interesting peice of Art

Iris Leaves with Rowan Berries, By Andy Goldsworthy 1956

Check out this incredible medium that the artist used. He got his work done on water. How can one someone think of something like that. How can someone do it so perfect? He used Iris leaves to make the design while filing in some parts of it with Rowan berries. To be able to do things like that you have to be really in aesthetics. He has done the six step design process we mentioned in the earlier blog. As you noticed everything is natural in his design. Looking at this abstract design really makes the person wonders. Many artists like to express things rather than to illustrate them. Most designers now days represent both. Pay attention on how the design of leaves is not too little or too much. When something is too little you feel it needs more work done on it. Same thing when it is too much. It starts taking away the point of the art work or it makes it really confusion to look at. Also, you somewhat notice a pattern of the leaves and the berries. As you stare the art work more you get appreciate it and understand it better. That is how we communicate as designers.
