Introduction to Essay about Time and Motion
Time and motion is a concept that has been developed in the recent century to help in the engineering work, presenting what would be motionless images into moving items. Time is a fixed element of nature but limited in the sense of utility by human beings. Because motion takes place in time, the two have been utilizing in both arts to produce impressively moving paintings or pictures, which affect the mood of the audience (Schmidt, 2006).
Time and motion are in direct relation to our own earthly time. For this reason, artists have utilized the concept of time and motion is associated with the scientific management movement that appeared in the late 19th century in the U.S.A. It offers the managers an insight on managing their engineering works for better planning and optimization as directed. The model has given vigor to work organization (Schmidt, 2006).
Henri Carter asserts that all it takes to be a photograph is one finger, one eye, and two legs. In his photograph work on Hyeres, France, a beautiful photo is produced at high vantage points. This photo can be viewed about the concept of ‘fixed-explosive,’ making it appear in motion, though it is static.;
Vertical Lines and Curved Railings
The vertical lines and the curved railings make the eyes to feel like in a high position and looking through the stairs. They resemble an arch of movement that a biker follows. The color contrast of the black figure and the railings gives the impression of a spiral, starting from the outside towards the center (Bruno, 1993). A viewer is positioned at the top to create an impression of concentric spirals. The biker image becomes the focal point since it breaks the repetitive texture and pattern of the background.;
By this drawing, Henri Cartlier has captured a moment in time, while making the photograph in unique geometric pattern to lead an observer through a visual path.
In his literary work, CaiGuo-Qiang is making history with some of the most interesting and beautiful art works. In his exhibition called Sky Ladder, he does gunpowder painting. The volunteers working with Cai often remarks of the graceful and timely movements of gunpowder he makes. By the end of the vigorous work, a beautiful piece of art is produced to the view of the spectators (Schmidt, 2006). His work is out of the combination of time and motion, such that the motionless images appear to be in motion.
Excellent Artwork with the Painting Machine
Horn Rebecca does an excellent artwork with the painting machine. As usual, her work appeals to humans emotionally, by fears and obsessions. The painting machine has a visual perspective that portrays human-like gestures. The paint spills on the ground expresses the human error attributes of the machine (Bruno, 1993). The color contrasts of the ceiling, the wall, and the dripping paint invokes emotions. The vertical lines portray the distance between the ceiling and the floor, while the random scatter of the paint creates an impression of accidental spillage.;
The dripping paint from the ceiling is easily made the focal point of an observer. This has been achieved by a widely varying color texture of the whole picture (Bruno, 1993). The source of the color paint is definitely from the roof. This is made clearly evident through the thick dark coloration of the single point.;
