The primary focal point of the composition is at the top left corner of the imaginary rectangle according to the rule of third. The simultaneous contrast of complimentary colors and light against dark were used to emphasize the focal point. Visual flaw was created by repetition of the shapes and colors as well as light and texture. The illusion of space was created by using an atmospheric perspective – stairs create an illusion of distance and darker background create an illusion of depth. The composition is slightly asymmetrical. Visual weight is balanced by adding similar shapes and colors to different parts of the composition. It has warm and cool colors in about the same amount. complimentary colors were used at some places to create desaturated colors and greys.
I have chosen word “curious” to describe myself. There are many pros and cons about being curious person. But it’s never boring. Curiosity makes you climb endless stairs, sometimes you end up covered in bruises, sometimes you discover amazing things and experience great emotions. The composition is well describing concept by using bright colors and interesting visual elements. Stairs symbolize ups and downs of the curiosity. Big and small steps represent the life path. Focal point is created to visualize life values and different interests. The eye and lips at the top of the composition represent the higher powers and invisible energies that effect our lives. The set invisible boundaries for curiosity (society, culture, religion etc)
I like the overall concept of the composition and how it visualize word “curious”, The mail idea of the composition and the visual flow. How picture plane was activated and how colors work together to create a curious atmosphere.
I had struggled with keeping the color flat and even. Not adding brushstrokes was a big challenge. And i failed at some places.
Full value range was used to create this self portrait. The portrait was broken into flat planes to avoid outlining facial features. The grid was used to locate correct placement of all shapes and values to maintain facial proportions. The composition is successful overall interesting shapes ans values. Some lightest light could be used more.
The primary focal point of a composition is in the top-left side of an imaginary rectangle, where the ropes meet in a circle. A secondary focal point is at the bottom-left corner of that rectangle. There is a well established visual flow, ropes and threads leading the eye through the composition. Sheep fur, braided macrame cords, threads and plastic net are creating a visual texture in the composition. Full range of values is used to emphasize different parts of the composition. The textures used in the drawing are interesting and create an unusual combination. Use of lines might be a weak part of the composition.
Figure and ground relationship are well presented in the Black and White composition. Shapes complete each other and create interesting positive and negative spaces. The composition consists of approximately fifty percent of white shapes and 50 percent of black shapes. The shapes mirror each other perfectly on both sides of the composition. The shapes used in the composition are very interesting and create an interesting piece of art. The downside of the composition is a lack of more interesting shapes in the negative space and not enough edges involved in the composition.
The focal point is located to the bottom right in this composition. It is the largest object in a drawing. There is a well established visual flow throughout, with the entire plane being activated. Placement of elements and directional contrast help an eye move through the composition. Directional dominance is established by contrast in the line direction, weight and value range. The movement created is a successful aspect. Value range is a weak side. Some area shadowing might help.
The composition’s primary focal point is located to the left from the center. It is emphasized by intersection of all 3 lines. A visual flow is well established through a picture plane, lines direction is helping an eye move the composition. The lines differ in weight and character. The top line consists of circles and the heaviest line has the the most character. Two other lines are lighter and create a contrast in the composition. The whole picture plane is activated. Movement created in the composition is the most successful aspect. A less clearly emphasized focal point weakens it.
