Media Arts - February 28th (Rhythm)

RHYTHM

Arboreal Engines, Ernesto Caivano 2006, Ink and watercolour on paper

In this work, rhythm is shown by the horizontal lines of the tree. These lines lead your eyes to the silhouette background of what seems to be a building. The colours are simple so I saw the tree branches first, which then lead me to the other part of the painting.

The Starry Night, Vincent van Gogh 1889, Oil on canvas

In this very famous work, rhythm is mostly shown in curved, spiral-like lines, mostly in the sky. The first thing I see in this piece is the spirals in the sky, which leads my eyes to the moon and stars, the I look and the little houses and what looks to be like a forest area. These curved lines are very dominant in this work, as they are shown to be virtually everywhere.

Untitled (Drawing for Inversion), Roxy Paine 2007, Ink on paper

This work is very simple and has a simple monochromatic colour theme, which draws my eyes directly to the tree branches. The branch near the middle of the picture which is darker than the rest leads my eyes down to all the other smaller branches in the bottom, which then I see the person standing in the bottom right corner.

Media Arts - February 27th (Balance)

Balance

Untitled, Bernd Ribbeck 2007, Ink on paper

This work is symmetrically balanced (if you put a line in the middle the work looks mostly the same on each side). This work has a bit of controlled rhythm as the lines are basically identical, although there are different colours and a few red lines which are not symmetrical, although still balanced.

Clappers-Trustworthy Off Horizons #133, Haegue Yang 2012, Security pattern envelope papers on six pieces of board

This work's balance is perfectly symmetrical. If you put a line through the middle, the sides would be identical, just mirrored. The rhythm is very controlled as it is completely symmetrically balanced.

[Composition-40-2011], Shirana Shahbazi 2011, Chromogenic colour print

In this work, there is asymmetrical balance. There is a big red dot which is located mostly on the right side and in the middle, a smaller yet still big yellow dot located a little left from the middle and on the bottom, and a small white dot completely to the left and on top. This creates balance because if you put a line through the middle of the work, it seems as though there would be the same area of dots on one side as to the other.
