Week 03 - Balance (7 February 2018 - HW4)

Image of a boy and monkey with a battery in the middle.

~

The photograph has a balance between the two figures and the one object. Both the young boy and the monkey wearing a head gizmo and relatively similar in height. The battery is located in the middle and while there are some cords sticking out to the right of the battery, it is still approximately symmetrical. The background and the black border are relatively the same with only the text being on the right side. But like stated earlier, the position of the figures and objects make it an approximate symmetry.

Week 02 - Unity (31 January 2018 - HW3)

Untitled (Ocean) by Vija Celmins

The drawing has a lot of unity with how each element including the shadows, lights, values and gradients all mix together well to produce a realistic ocean design. The elements don't argue with each other to where it loses it realism but work together to create a beautiful drawing.
