Repetition of Form: Cars, Cars, Cars

This is an example of repetition of form because the cars are the exact same and they are repeated, even though they are in a variation of colors.

Gestalt All Around

This is a Gestalt project I made. I just took strips of construction paper and made a picture that represents the Gestalt Principle with negative spaces and diagonals.

This picture represents the Gestalt Principle of Similarity. The similarity is with the circles.

Value

This photo to the right is an example of a low key value photo. Notice how the photo is mostly dark.














This photo to the left however, is an example of a high
key value photo. Notice how the photo is mostly light.

BALANCE

This photo represents architectural radial symmetry.It's a great example of
symmetry that can be found in buildings, designs,
and architecture.


This is an example of symmetrical balance. The posts perfectly frames the beach in a balanced way. The photo is very peaceful too.

"Unearthed": Lake Keowee

This is a photo from Emily Gomez's "Unearthed" Collection. It is a photo of Lake Keowee which rests on Keowee Town, Salem, South Carolina. This was the former capital of the Lower Cherokee Nation. This photo is a beautiful example of balance in terms of art. With the monochromatic feel of the photo, it almost seems as if there is vertical and horizontal symmetry in the photo. When I saw this photo, I immediately feel in love with it. It shows such depth and value. The collection as a whole tells a story that you that you not only want to know more about, but it tells a story that you almost want to be apart of.

Andy Goldsworthy Art

Andy Goldsworthy is an artist that uses the environment to sculpt Earth art. He uses elements of the Earth to show people the beauty in the things around them. I found this particular sculpture to be very interesting. It is called The Storm King Wall which he constructed between 1997 and 1998. I love the way it weaves in and out of the trees, almost as if it's creating a path to follow. An interesting fact is that there used to be another wall within the same area of this wall. I think Goldsworthy did a great job with building his art. I always think it's a good idea to get people to realize the beauty that's right in their own backyards.
