TASK 4: LINE - Colour

TASK 4: LINE- Colour

COLOURFIELDS

The purpose of this task was to focus on the idea of layering. The aim was to represent each colour on a different layer, considering the hierarchy of the colours in the landscape.

Below are my two attempts at representing the hierarchy of colour in the landscape of my two chosen sites which I have revisited.

COLOURFIELD 1:

Layer 1: Brown

Layer 2: Grey

Layer 3: Blue

Layer 4: Green

Final composition with the multiple layers.
This view is standing from the Greenwich Reach Swing Bridge.

COLOURFIELD 2:

My second colourfield is made up of 4 layers.
The first layer is green, the second grey, third orange and fourth brown.

This view is from standing in front of the Old Greenwich Maritime, looking over at the Isle of Dogs Foot Tunnel with Canary Wharf looming in the background.

POEM:

Time & Tide

"The waves, they lap upon the shore

in timeless motion forevermore.

the moon, it waxes and it wanes

but time and tide they still remain..."

Above is my short video Time & Tide. The voice of the poem is my Grandfather which I felt was particularly significant as he has spent the majority of his life working on the river and at sea.

Illustrator Practice

Each week I spend two days working in a multidisciplinary practice, working alongside the landscape team gaining invaluable knowledge and skills on my journey to becoming a landscape architect. Today I focused on creating a constraints and opportunities diagram for a site in Croydon in which we are working on. Using illustrator I managed to create the two diagrams below: Opportunities Diagram: Constraints Diagram:
