Re: Rhythm

PRINT, December 2014, Page 14

This composition contains Rhythm by showing movement in the ground plane from a three dimensional plane to a two dimensional plane. The composition achieves this through repeating and alternating colors. The three different tile colors can produce the shadows needed to make the illusion of a three dimensional cube. I would say that this composition contains a combination of alternating and progressive Rhythm.

Color Harmony Rules

Communication Arts, Photography Annual 46, pg 83 ANALOGOUS Communication Arts, Design Annual 48, pg 115 COMPLIMENTARY Communication Arts, Design Annual 48, pg 44 MONOCHROMATIC Communication Arts, Photography Annual 46, pg 94 TRIADIC Each of these four compositions follow a different color harmony. The first composition follows an analogous color scheme with its use of green, blue-green, and yellow-green. The second composition follows a complimentary color scheme with its use of a red background and green shirt. The third composition follows a monochromatic color scheme through its use of different yellows. The fourth composition follows a triadic color scheme through its use of the primary colors. 

Symbolic Colors

Computer Arts, January 2012, Page 67 This composition uses color through its symbolic meaning rather than color harmonies. The random colors inside the grid-like shapes tends to remind people of the video game, Tetris. All of these colors or shapes by themselves wouldn't have any meaning to it. But by combining the two together, the composition takes on a whole "new" meaning.

Non-Commercial Art

Computer Arts, January 2012, Page 125 This composition chooses to use a complementary color scheme through its use of light blue and orange. The composition also makes use of lines and triangular shapes by the "breaking" of the face. There is also a clear focal point made in the center of the composition. The piece is slightly tilted, yet still remains balanced.
