Visual Analogy Research

For the visual analogy project we were told to first research and find some examples of artwork that use visual analogy. So here is what I came up with:


















The first piece takes a very obvious approach and puts a strawberry pattern on the shape of the lips. It works successfully because we know both lips and strawberrys to have a wet and shiny texture and an almost similar color and shape. When these are put together it really makes sense and makes you think.


















Then there is work that is less literal. This piece, for example, doesn't have to be anything really. But what I see is some sort of snake figure or possibly even a scarf or cloth. The shape of the piece brings out a lot of ideas on shape and form.













This piece makes me think of a donut or a tire perhaps. However the texture used and the twist in the form could make it be something else. Possibly a spring of some sort.

















This last image definitely has an underwater sea life feel to it. When I look at the figure I see a shell of some sort because of the flowing colors, smooth and wavy shape, and the simplicity of the figure.

Next we were to take pictures of patterns on real life forms and man made objects.
These are some of the textures I found around my room:
Carpet


















Leather Chair














Wood Grain


















Shoe Texture


















Speaker


















Wall


















Fan Cover


















Seat Cover
