The repetition of the 'house' form creates unity. I chose to repeat the single form but each one with slightly different size sides skewing the proportions, adding interest. I also included opposite colors in the house to add contrast. The yellow circular forms also contrast the rigid sharp form of the houses. The final composition is asymmetrical, meaning the image will not reflect itself if it is divided along an axis but there is a sense of balance and movement with the curving center line.
Hi Gina,
ReplyDeleteYour accordian book is visually appealing and well executed, but I'm wondering which postmodern principle you were incorporating for your mod. You have a great example of an exercise geared specifically toward developing a critical language about art and the elements and principles, but there isn't really evidence of a bigger picture. I notice a real narrative component in your example that is really engaging. You chose a shape that was representational and relatable (the house) and repeated it with variation in a very successful way. Is there a way you can target that narrative aspect and incorporate it into your instructions? It would be a great way to explore the elements and principles, as well as giving the exercise an additional context and learning experience.
