Joyce S. expensive heart!
“Every Penny counts; pennies make
dollars”
o
Is this
Symmetrical or near symmetrical balance? Why? My
piece is near symmetrical in balance because if it wasn’t for the center heart
and dollar, it would have been symmetrical making both half’s appear as a mirror
images. But with the focal point of the
piece it would not be mirrored the same on both sides.
o
What is your
specific theme? (what is this piece about?)
My piece is about how each penny counts and
pennies make dollars. This was motivated
by us preparing to send my daughter off to college and offsetting her tuition
expense.
o
Specific color
relationship- name it (monochromatic, secondary triad etc) The colors in my piece are bit monochromatic; same color
but different shades, though mainly neutral including the background with cool
accents.
o
Variety of media
(4 or more different things) Name them: The media I
used are string, pennies, a card board heart in the center and a $1 bill.
o
What Interesting
background did you use? How does this background relate to your theme? My background was a old side table that stood out because
of its dark yet neutral color scheme, the texture of the wood which gives it a
rustic look along with the pennies and string surrounding the piece. This background helps the piece actually
illuminate a bit and stand out despite all being in the neutral color family.
o
How is your
Craftsmanship? (neatness) Over all I think the
craftsmanship was neat and intentional.
You will notice mostly all of the pennies are on heads with 4 randomly
on their tales. (can you find them all?).
o
Is your design
complicated? Explain. The design was not too
complicated, but a bit tedious as the pennies all had to be turned and would
slide off the edges of the string. It
took about 45min or so to really get my shape right, and stagger the coins in
the right place. I actually looked at
this piece for 3 days and changed with adding and taking away things until I
was pleased with the one I’m submitting.
o
How did you use
repetition? Be specific! I used repetition in the placement of the pennies in
heart formation in a repetitive positioning.
o
How did you
create Rhythm? Be specific. I had to look really long and hard at this piece for
rhythm. I guess you could say there is
rhythm in the way the pennies that are layered on top of the others that were laid
with more precision. Also, if you look
closely at the center heart there are lines of waves present.
o
What is the
focal point? How did you achieve it? The focal
point I would say is the purple/pink heart in the center with the dollar
bill. However you can’t help draw your
eyes to the shinier copper pennies throughout the piece.
o
What other
elements and/or principles of design did you use? Other
elements or principles of design include value, real texture, outlines, shallow
space, and shape. Shape is tough to
define because it’s not your average square, rectangle triangle, though I would
still say it’s more of a geometrical shape.
