Repetition and Rhythm Assignment

Rhythm and Repetition

            As you can you see the two pictures below have a sense of rhythm to it. 

A.

       Picture A is consist of only straight lines, but the thing that creates the rhythm of this art is that I changed the directions creating more of an abstract feeling. Adding to the abstract look, I purposely spaced the lines differently, from being close to each other and then slowly moving far away creating a feeling that the picture is slowly shrinking. For the cherry on top, I included the use of thickness and thinness which resulted to an illusion of a tunnel or an alley. 

While making this line art, I intended to interpret a dark, mysterious type of feeling, like you're walking down a pathway without knowing when it will end or if it will ever end...a never ending journey full of unknown things that is ahead. 

B.

       For Picture B, you can see the great change in the rhythm of Picture A. This rhythm is a lot more calming and steady. It has its own pace, not so dynamic like Picture A. The variety of different lines technique is use a lot less but as you see I still added some of those elements creating this feeling of movement. The movement is made up by straight lines again, but the lengths vary, going from short, to medium to long, repeating the steps leading to the illusion of moving up and down. Including the element of thickness and thinness, it gives off a 3-D feel. For me I was going for a musical feel, like the lines represent the beats from songs.

    Do they work? Yes, they for sure give off a rhythm for me and the people who saw my line art. I mean by looking at it you can feel the beat can't you? It's quite pleasing to the eye, just that Picture A kind of tricks your eye at first glance but all in all I think both the my creation has harmony. Personally I would go with Picture A, since it feels more interesting and the way the lines are placed together is really eye-catching because of the illusion in the picture.
