Explorations#1 concentration & isolation
Greetings! todays exploration is brought you by the letters “C” & “I”! Observing others in class I’ve come to realize that the two terms can be a bit confusing at times When it comes to designing. The class was challenged to create a focal point using the two terms; Isolation (one point that is separate or different then) and Concentration ( many elements in one spot). Below is my attempt to create the two.
My Concentration & Isolation designs
I used a bit of nature to inspire and accomplish my goal of Isolation
Here my design inspired by nature. Can you see the isolation? I decided to use color as a way to solve the problem of isolation. All the leaves are the same, expect for the color of the brown one.
For my concentration design I decided to work by hand and create shapes using paper and glue
Here's my result from the black paper. Can you see the concentration? In this design I used shapes to help solve the problem of concentration. By grouping many strips of black paper on top of each other in a "cluster" I was able to direct the viewer eye to one side.
What do you think? Did I accomplish the goal? What would you do differently? Leave comments! 
I really enjoy the nature design you did with the leaves to represent isolation. Very creative!! It is hard for me to really point out the isolation in the bush/tree picture, it seems like more of concentration to me. Other than that, great job!
Thanks Miranda!
The bush picture is just my inspiration…but when I think about it your right…itself would represent concentration.
The materials (esp. the leaves) really make the designs become fun! Nice.
The leaf idea was really great thinking. Definitely shows some extra effort.
I’m really liking the leaves, thinking outside of the box is always a plus!

i think its awesome that u used actual leafs!
I like that you actually used something to do this project with, and leaves are a great choice!
I used keys, check it out: http://blog.scad.edu/sferre22/2013/01/23/concentration-isolation-and-rusty-skeleton-keys/
And I responded to your post on my blog here:
