Frame Task

Before starting the frame task, i began by creating a series of roughs that would explore the way that i can use frame effectively using the whole frame to its full potential. Roughs are definitely very important when it comes to creating something such as frame as its important to consider a variety of ways that frame and composition can be used to create the most effective image.

i think that this frame works well as a whole, I'm looking at symmetry and the sizing and form of the objects.

im not sure about this frame, i feel like the composition doesn't use the frame to its full potential. the butterfly seems out of place and almost an after thought, however, I'm happy with the line of sight from the trunk to the person in the air.

i don't think that this composition uses the frame very well. i can work harder to create a better composition that uses the whole frame effectively, again the butterflies seem like an afterthought, i think because they're small i haven't really considered their placement on the page.

in this rough, i have combined the line of sight and the direction that the image travels in order to make an effective frame.

this is thinking about the layout in a completely different way with the human being the largest and the elephant the smallest, a complete swap of roles. 

i really like the idea of thinking about the composition in a way that isn't obvious. the task to draw an elephant, human and butterfly seems clear to do but i really like the idea of going about it in a completely different way. i want to develop this idea further, however, as a frame i don't this it is as effective as it could be. 

i tried to develop this idea into something more refined, however, I'm not convinced that it is the best demonstration of frame and composition, i can definitely do better than this.

i took one of my previous rough ideas that i felt had the best potential, i have tried to refine it and make it have the best frame that it possibly can. i think the arch of butterflies definitely work and in this sense don't seem like an after thought compared to some of my other roughs. the symmetry between the elephant and the human really pull the image together. 

in the final piece, i really struggled with the use of ink in which we were required to make the piece in. i don't like the texture of it and I'm some ways takes away from the frame due to the watery nature and uncertain lines. however, i feel that through the exploration in my roughs i have been very successful with the way that i have used the full potential of the frame. in terms of sizing, and symmetry i have successfully creating the image. the butterflies almost create a frame around thee work making it work together and coherently.
