COMPOSITION: The Parts of the Puzzle

Add caption

Yesterday the class continued working on the "Puzzle Parts" project. Notice the similarities and differences in the two series above. By using vertical and horizontal lines and shapes, Ashley has created a very stable series of images. The designs are reminiscent of the inner workings of a machine. The circles appear to run along the linear elements.
Calli has also employed vertical and horizontal lines for division and stability yet the implied diagonals connecting the other elements add dynamics and excitement.
The color schemes of the two series are very different as well. Ashley has used a monochromatic color scheme of blue which is very unified and cohesive. Calli's color's are similar to a complementary color scheme again adding more extreme contrasts and dynamics.
