Study task 3: Excel images

Task 3:

Figure 1

Create 10 drawings of your object using a spreadsheet program.

I've been able to develop a series of responses to the study task by looking into the components of a light bulb and how it works. Consequently this has lead the development of these drawings as I've focused on creating visual responses to technology that supports a light bulb such as the positive and negative currents running though and electrical system and how the vary and cross over within a system (see figure 1) which can be identified by different colours. Furthermore I've developed this idea further by referencing the patterns found within circuit boards and the crossing over pathways which are highlighted by the addition of colour (see figure 2-4).  Consequently this has led to the development of more pixellated drawings by looking at static electricity (see figure 5) and how electricity flowing through a circuit and how it can get disrupted causing the circuit to break over time (see figure 6-8). The introduction of colour references the different wires found within electrical systems and how they overla
p within a system. Furthermore I've also experimented with the idea of representing the changes in voltage throughout a electronic circuit (see figure 9) in a similar pixillated style as to reference static electricity. In addition to looking at voltage within electric circuits I've also looked at how the power within a circuit can reduce/fade over time (see figure 10). Overall these experimentations have been successful due to the range of approaches and styles explored despite the limitations presented by the software which I found difficult to adapt too. I feel the most successful responses (see figure 3-4) are those based on the patterns found within circuit boards as the overlapping lines and use of colour create an interesting pattern which I didn't expect to be able to create in such a limiting program such as excel.
