Rhythmic and Repetitive Assignment





I feel that rhythm is a key factor in art. Without rhythm a picture has no motion. In my first comp which was repetitive lines I tried to create the illusion that you were in a forest with a blanket of snow on the ground. I did this by changing the thickness of the lines and by placing the lines closer or farther apart. I think that by using this method the picture controls the audience by telling the eyes were to go. This picture makes your eyes follow each line regardless if it looks further or closer away.
In my second comp which uses rhythmic lines I tried make the lines geometric by placing the lines in a box and making almost a ripple affect but in a square shape, like vents on a selling. By varying the amount of lines in the box shape and removing the corners it creates an optical illusion. Even though the lines are flat on the page it makes it look like you are falling forward or standing on top of the lines. The thing is that your eyes will never settle while looking at this picture.
Both of my pictures have similar and different characters, but they both use the power of lines to create an optical illusion. Both comps use rhythmic and repetitive lines but in a different way.
