Scale and Implied line

 During a photo shoot with my girlfriend we came across these rather large steps, instantly I knew it was a photo opportunity. She is short enough (5'2") to where the scale drastically affects the proportions and gives the photo a fantastical feel. To even further my play on scale I zoomed out a bit to make her look 5 inches tall.

This rock formation practically jumped at me and begged to be my model. The natural eroded curvature of the rock creates some very beautiful implied lines not only along the rocks' edges, but also in the shadows and negative space within the rocks.

Volume

This image shows volume through the plated glass on the outside of the lamp post. The viewer can see through the frame and into the background behind the post. The volume is emphasized through this transparent box.

Plane

In this image, there is a plane intersecting another plane at the opening of an elevator. There is also another plane to the edge of the piece, marking the inside walls of the subject. This image represents planes well because of the relationship between different planes in the piece. Each plane intersects another and creates a form from that.

Elements and principles homework.

This picture demonstrates actual lines in the fact that rope pulled tightly imitates any kind of line you can imagine. Taking the picture from right underneath the nest (while all the rope winds above) pulls the eye towards the center of the image and really accents the fact that this picture is really made up of nothing besides lines.

 This demonstrates unity because all the pieces of this board game are the same, despite half of them being red and half of them being green. The fact that they are all a part of something bigger (the playing board) shows that they are but pieces to a whole, and they wouldn't mean much to anyone if they were on their own.

 

Space and Repetition

I chose this photo to represent space because of the contrast between near and far. Although you can see beyond the wooden post to the openness of the field, the closeness of it makes the space feel cramped. I love the way the two interact with each other to create a good use of space in this composition.

In this photo, repetition is the key element. The lines of the branches are constantly intersecting throughout the composition and the circular pattern of the leaves is also consistent. Even the way the light shines through the spaces in the leaves flows with the rhythm of the picture.

Photo assignment

The variations in both line and texture of this overturned tree create a strong sense of asymmetrical balance. The lines created by the roots and vines are organic and repetitious, but avoid creating a consistent rhythm. The shapes created by the negative space reflect the organic growth patterns of the root system.

This image consists of repetition of reflections created by a mosaic. The reflections oscillate in a semi-radial composition, fragmented by small geometric mirrors. The perspective of the viewer in relation to this mosaic creates a variety of different reflections ranging from representational to heavily distorted. This variety unifies the entire composition, allowing the eye to stay in constant movement when viewing.

Implied Lines and Emphasis

 This is a photo of a slope as viewed outside my dorm window. Because this image is so organic, there are no direct lines. However, the lines are implied through a general diagonal direction, starting from the upper right corner to the lower left corner. The  dirt pathway follows this diagonal line, and so do the roots in the dirt path. The shadows hitting the roots and greenery add to this implication of lines.

This is a picture looking into my dorm air conditioner. I edited the picture to emphasize the rusting area. There is emphasis on this area because the color is so vibrant compared to the gray colors on the rest of the metal.

A little homework...

 Balance

Through the symmetry of this picture there is a wonderful natural balance. My favorite aspect of this image though is the blurring of the foreground, and the crispness of the middle ground as your eye slowly disappears into the light. 

Implied Lines

This image is line crazy, with both actual and implied going everywhere, I especially love the way that the machinery, despite breaking up the implied diagonals, are simultaneously creating even more implied diagonals.
