1.2

FIGURE B: Mvelo Desk by Siyanda Mbele (South-Africa), 2017.Model Answer- (Each tick is one mark). Each element/principle consists of two separate answers that explain where evidence of the element or principle can be seen in the design and why. It then explains the overall effect of the application of the element/principle on the design. This is the amount of information required to get one mark.

1.2.1 Analyse and discuss the following elements and principles of design in relation to FIGURE B above: Colour –

The natural brown colour of the woodgrain is repeated throughout the desk design which gives the design a feeling of unity.

The natural colour of the wood is broken by the dark spaces created by the hollow drawer handles. This creates contrast

. Movement –

The natural pattern of the woodgrain at the top of the desk repeats itself and appears to move from right to left. This creates a feeling of movement.

The repetition of short diagonal lines created by the recessed/ hollowed out drawer handles are repeated to create a vertical pattern. This creates a feeling of movement because they lead the eye downwards.

Balance – The desk is asymmetrically balanced because when the design is divided in half

the one side is not a mirror image of the other side. The asymmetry of the design is emphasised by the drawers that form a strong

vertical shape on the right and the large empty space on the left which emphasises the horizontal.

Pattern – The natural woodgrain isevident throughout the design which helps create a

feeling of unity. Contrast is created by the addition of horizontal bands of geometric patterns in

three bands on the drawers, which further emphasizes the asymmetry of the design. (8)

1.2.2 Explain whether or not the style of the design in FIGURE B is ‘Eclectic’? Give reasons.

Eclectic style means that the design incorporates/combines ideas from other design styles. This design can be considered eclectic because of the geometric patterns which remind us

of traditional African patterns. The overall design is minimalist because the shapes are simple and block like, the surface shows the natural beauty of the wood and the design is asymmetrical, all of which are typical of Modernism. (2)
