"Scale Assignment"

Here is my collage for this weeks assignment

I'm calling it "waterfront property"

"Emphasis Assignment"

•  For contrast I chose a screen shot from the movie Sweeney Todd. I believe the chair being red is meant to place the emphasis on Sweeney Todd.

• For isolation I chose this photo of a single antelope in the desert next to a tree. I believe the feeling of isolation comes from the absence of other life.

• So for placement I chose a simple ring of coffee mugs. The emphasis comes from the way the cups are positioned, in a ring, all handles in, evenly spaced.

• I thought this was a good example of the one element emphasis because the focal point is the weave in the basket but then I thought that this could also be used as an absence of focal if you don't know what you are looking at. Right?

• Absence of focal point - Andy Warhol's 100 CANS,  an image of 100 identical soup cans in a 10 X 10 pattern there is no one place to be drawn to.

Unity

Hello Everyone here are my examples of unity.

• Proximity - Where I work we get a lot of bottles of all shapes and size in all sorts of colors.

• Repetition (emphasis on similarity) - Every year we put on a bicycle swap were we take in bicycles that are no longer used or outgrown and fix them up to give away to anyone who wants a bicycle.

• Repetition (emphasis on variety) - This walkway is unbelievably intricate all the different colors forming the patterns.

• Continuation - I think this wall kind of drags your focus from right to left to see where it goes.

• The grid as organizing factor -  grid-work or wire-frame allows me greater flexibility, more points of reference to keep my subject aligned and smaller areas to focus on. 

• An example of a chaotic, unreadable image - I consider fractal art  as a good example of a chaotic image

• An example of a non-objective expression of unity

• An example of a figurative expression of unity
