Types
of Grids
There are several types of
grids the designer can choose from. Perhaps the simplest method is to use the
rule of thirds. This involves dividing a page into thirds with two equally
spaced vertical and/or horizontal lines so that important compositional
elements can be placed along these lines or intersections. This method is also
commonly used in photography. Another popular method uses the golden ratio
(approximately 1.618) for proportioning. This ratio has been studied by
mathematicians for its presence throughout the universe and has been used for
centuries by architects, artists and book designers for it’s aesthetically
pleasing qualities. My personal favorite method is to divide a page into
several equal sized columns, which is often used in newspapers and magazines.
These types of publications also commonly use a baseline grid, which is a set
of horizontal lines on a page that the baseline of all type sits on.
Why Use It?
- Have any number of columns?
# Don’t be forced into having
a fixed number of columns across a whole page. You can have whatever you want,
wherever you need it
- Scale to any width
# It uses percentages, your
fluid columns will fit into any width.

-Renzo Piano

-Italian
his name resonating all throughout the world of architecture. he has been distinguished with the renowned Pritzker Prize for Architecture for redefining modern and postmodern architectural style, the American Insitute for architect Gold Medal and the sonning Prize in Denmark. he is often times referred to as a high-tech architect, and the majority of his design focus on comfort for those inhabiting the building, and an overall serene outlook of his structures.
His Work
Culture Center Jean Marie Tjibaou
- New Caledonia * special collectivity of France located ion the southwest Pacific Ocean.
-Capital is Noumea
-Language French
During the negotiations of independence from the French, the territory of New Caledonia requested that the government of the metropolis, chaired by François Mitterrand, build a center in Noumea for the promotion of Kanak culture and dedicated to the memory of the political leader Jean Marie Tjibaou, assassinated in 1989.
Concept
It sought to make a tribute to a culture based on respect for its history and traditions, past, present and future, as well as its sensitivity. the project was based on the indigenous population of that part of the pacific, its culture and its symbols which are still very alive.

Chuck Close
Charles thomas 'Chuck' Close is an American painter and photographer who achieved fame as a photo realist, through his massive-scale portraits.
_ Born july 5, 1940 at Washington, US
Chuck did poorly in school but found solace in making art. After earning his MFA Yale in 1964, Chuck took his place atop the American art world by creating large-scale, photo-realist portraits that have creativity blurred the distinction between photography and painting.
Chuck has endeavored to expand his contribution to portraiture through the mastery of such varied drawing and painting techniques as ink, graphite, pastel watercolor, crayon, finger painting, and stamp-pad ink on paper; printmaking techniques, such as Mezzotint, etching woodcuts, linocuts, and silkscreens as well as handmade paper collage and Polaroid photographs.
Chuck own health took a terrible turn around this time as well, when a kidney infection landed him in bed foe almost a year. Through all of this however, chuck deepened his love for painting and art in general.
His Self Portrait
Richard Paul Lohse
A Swiss painter and graphic artist and one of the main representatives of the concrete and constructive art. He was born 13 September in Zurich in 1902 and died 16 September 1988 in Swiss.
The young Lohse dreams of becoming a painter. However his wish to study in Paris is thwarted due to his difficult economic circomstances. Loshe the autodidact, paints expressive, late cubist still life. In the 1930s his work as a a graphic artist and book designer puts him among the pioneers of modern Swiss graphic design in his painting he work on curved and diagonal constructions.
His Work
he attitudes implicit in Lohse's work, including strong and still radical ideas about society, are very interesting, both as to what is older and what newer. The squares and rectangles comprise schemes that repeat or vary with colors that correspondingly repeat or vary. This way of working which now is common to lots of us, didn't exist before Lohse and some others. It's not the way that Mondrian, Malevich, or Van Doesburg worked. In Lohse's work there is the end of the European compositional tradition, a good end, and also there is the beginning of much that is still beginning to develop. (Donald Judd, 1988)
Other Photos of Grid
With 200 KINETIC LIGHTS DMX winches and RGB spheres and a footprint of 30×20 meters this star shaped moving light art installation dominated the Vodafone stand at the international consumer electronics fair IFA 2013 in Berlin. The firmware and software combination allows for unparalleled pattern combinations, motion precision and speed control. The light balls can move at a speed of up to 1,5 meter per second.

Task 3
Own Grid System
I take a leaf as my subject metal for do my own grid system.
From the leaf i did sketches for do the own grid system
I draw the leaf middle part and develop my ideas
After dun with sketches i try to make it my self. I used wire to make this
When the wire sculpture dun i develop my ideas to make the sculpture strait line. i do some sketches for that.
I do a rope sculpture.

Task 4
Project
Need to produce an A5 book of the journey and supported by A1 Poster. It based on own grid system creation.

Final Report
In this subject I learned about What is Grid system?
Who use Grid system? Why Use it? When it use? Grid system is a structure of two dimensional strait line it is Vertical and
Horizontal. Rule of Thirds, Golden Ratio, Columns, Baseline Grid these are the type of the grid. Then I did research
in Internet and took some picture based on Grid System around my college campus.
I research about designers who using grid system with their design and I found
some designer of them. They are Renzo Piano his
name resonating all throughout the world of architecture. He has been
distinguished with the renowned Pritzker Prize for Architecture for redefining
modern and postmodern architectural style, the American Institute for architect
Gold Medal and the sonning Prize in Denmark. He is often times referred to as a
high-tech architect, and the majority of his design focus on comfort for those
inhabiting the building, and an overall serene outlook of his structures.
Charles thomas 'Chuck' Close is an American painter and photographer who achieved
fame as a photo realist, through his massive-scale portraits. Richard Paul Lohse a Swiss painter and
graphic artist and one of the main representatives of the concrete and
constructive art. In Task 3 I did my own grid system. I took a
leaf as my subject metal and I draw the middle part from the leaf. After dun the
sketches I come out the design with wire sculpture.After my first sculpture done I develop my ideas to
make it straight line. I develop draw my ideas and did one more sculpture with
rope.For the Task 4 I did a an A5 book and an A1
poster. The idea of local identity has become universal; it has be reduced,
simplified, and, in some respects, made obsolete by the reach of consistent
global marketing. In this task, responded to a specific outdoor site. For this
task my tittle was Nature at Mantin. As my lecture said I went to Mantin Town
took photos based on my tittle.photos I gather some information
and history of mantin town and whit this every things I did my an A5 book with
16 pages full color. I used thread to bind the book. In this book I gave
information of Mantin and Mantin’s nature things.In this module I learned about grid
system, how to make own grid, how the sketches make come out with a sculpture,
sketches developing ideas, take photos, do a book and poster and more. My
lecture gave some ideas and information to developing my artwork.
