Balance Assignment

Part 1

I used a spoon, a fork, a bag clasp, a cheese cutter, a cabinet knob, a timer, and a huge diamond wine topper. It was all things that were in the first drawer I opened! I didn't really want to make a shape or design, since I find those to be boring (I think so at least). I found this to be more interesting, plus it made cool looking negative shapes!

Part 2

I tried the best I could with this one! So many little pieces! I tried to make it look balanced IN SOME WAY. I think it looks alright.

Emphasis and Focal Point Assignment

Contrast

 You can see the contrast between the background and boats, since the boats are warm colors, while the background all cool colors, therefore emphasizing the boats and making them "pop-out".

Isolation 

 

 This lily flower is so much brighter than the murky water and dull pads that it pops out of the picture. It also has emphasis on contrast.

Placement

 

 

 The placement is key with this piece. You can see that the trees are in front of the mountains, making the emphasis greater.

One Element

 This picture is emphasized just around the planet. That's pretty much it!

Absence of focal point

As you can see, there really isn't a focal point to this. You have to appreciate it as a whole while it doesn't emphasize on one element.

Unity Assignment

Proximity

This image shows unity with proximity because of where the trees are located. They are in single file lines and are certain distances from each other, width and length wise. It is very organized and well put together.

Repetition (emphasis on similarity)

This piece show repetition through similarity. The only colors are black and white, and the only shapes are circles. They look the same, but either made bigger/smaller or changed "direction".

Repetition (emphasis on variety)

  One of the most popular examples of repetition is this piece. It has Marilyn Monroe's head in each rectangle, but with different varieties of colors for each head.

Continuation
 

The continuation in the piece would have to be the telephone poles, going into the distance.

Grid as Organizing Factor
 

The grid is used very well with this piece in showing different objects of different color, but putting them in chromatic order, from warm to cool colors.

Chaotic, Unreadable Image

The colors in this are very beautiful, even though it isn't supposed to be anything.

Non-Objective Expression

The organic shapes make this a non-objective art piece. ((No real objects))

Figurative Expression

While this is figurative, since it is art that is supposed to be something real.
