Midterm Update

These are updates of the Rhythm, Scale and Proportion, and Balance assignments. I didn't clearly understand them at first, but I think I did it correctly this time.

Line

Rhythm: Touch

The sense I chose was Touch.

The five adjectives I chose were Bumpy, Spiky, Smooth, Sharp, and Hot.

Balance

With this project, I used digital media to construct my balance. I used basic silverware one would find in the kitchen. In my first piece, I made it very uniform in straight ups and downs, with two slight diagnols.

In this second part, I used the basic cut outs, and still included the up and down, but also the diagnols more. I believe that both images are well balanced.

Scale and Proportion

This collage is named "Beauty is held in the Eye of the Beholder." I named it because beauty truley is seen differently by everyone. I used different colors for the eyes, and also the skin tones are different as well.

Contrast

The bright red flower is the focal point of this image I took. The fact that the background of the flower is blurred, the red, which is a loud color anyways, grabs ones attention immediately. I took this photo last spring.

Isolation

The railroad track becomes the focal point in this image.

The nut that the person his holding isolates the track
from the rest of the picture. I found this image by searching
Emphasis by Isolation.

Placement
The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo is a famous painting that shows emphasis by placement. The two men are on opposite sides of the image, but their arms reach towards the center with their fingers almost touching at almost the center of the painting. I found this online by searching Michelangelo.



One Element

This is a good example of One Element, as well as advertising. The women in the image appears to be wearing nothing but the jewelery around her wrists, which immediately gives off the message of this being an add for jewelery. The color of the jewelery also grabs the attention of the viewer. I found this by searching magazine ads.



Absence of Focal Point
This painting does not have a focal point. This artist emphasized on the entire surface and it looks like there was an even distribution of the colors used in this image. I found this by searching no focal point.

Unity

I thought that this was a good example of unity with the two leopard cubs. Their spots show repetition, as well as their expressions. I also think that the whiskers give the image continuation.

This is a screen shot of my favorite clothing website, Tilly's. The grid they use is three vertical columns, with a row of smaller icons in the middle column to access different views of the product one is observing. I think this website is visually appealing, and the all white background is very basic and does not take away from the products they are selling.
