Rhythm

I chose this image, I liked the way the colors repeated, guiding the eye through the rest of the image. This is an example of an alternating rhythm that starts in the lower left corner with the circle, then bouncing the eye up thru the stone shapes on the left , then sliding down the middle vertical lines to the bottom again, then back up the corresponding shapes on the right to the top. At least that's how it worked for me!
 
This image has alternating light and dark rhythms that are slightly varied creating a flow that draws you to the center element.

Scale and Proportion

I chose to make my collage with some images I had from Lake Placid, NY, home of the Winter Olympic Games in 1932 and 1980 . Here's what I got!

Emphasis and Focal Point

Emphasis and Focal Point
by Edward Scholl - Tuesday, February 5, 2013, 8:19 AM

I chose this image to show emphasis and focal point. The picture captures the eye and takes you right down the street to the focal point.

You must find and post at least one image that represents each of these ideals:

  • Contrast
 
  • Isolation
 
  • Placement
 
  • One element
 
  • Absence of focal point
