The way that visuals are created has shifted tremendously towards technology, to some degree, within schools that specialize in art. While CGI can be beneficial for a number of reasons, I am of the opinion that it should never a crutch and that there is something to be said about the methods of the past. Drawings can be very appealing and I believe that the work of Rafael Araujo is proof of this. Not only has be found himself lost in art but he managed to do so while incorporating mathematical tools.
According to an article on CNN.com, Rafael Araujo has created work that managed to bring both drawing and mathematical tools in a surprisingly graceful hybrid. Instead of a computer being utilized in order to create his illustration, he would use tools like a ruler and protractor. While this method may not exactly be archaic, it is certainly a method that deviates from the norm. What surprised me, after reading this article, was just how advanced the final projects from the efforts that Araujo put forth were.
With the rules of geometry put into place, Araujo drew a series of butterflies that would seemingly take flight along paths of lines which curve around. Those who have never learned at art schools, or other regions, may not understand just how taxing it can be to create a spiral with nothing but basic tools but Araujo's work shows the precise nature of mathematics. It doesn't hurt that he started drawing like this at a young age. Araujo said that he, "began drawing perspective almost out of the blue" during his youth.
I am not the kind of person who remembers much from math class, so it's tough for me to determine how accurate Araujo's methods are. However, the work that he has created is hard to overstate, especially when even drawing the perfect circle without a protractor is a process that very few can grasp. The fact that he was able to utilize mathematics in order to make his art even better is tremendous, to say the least. No matter how taxing his efforts might be, I have to believe that they paid off for Araujo.
When it comes to the best elements of art, in general, color has to be noted. This is where, in my view, the best designs can be made and then gone on to be made even better; of course, the right hues have to be incorporated. Keep in mind that color is just one of the many hurdles in the path of any artists; this should give you a general idea of the amount of effort that is needed. Judging by how dynamic the works of Araujo have been in the past, I have no doubt that he can overcome the hurdles in question.
