Jivannie M.'s Sterile Heart!

Sterile Love
The image is near symmetric with the outlines of gauze and tape
Medical theme- layered sterile field of gauze outline by 2 inch and 1 inch plastic and paper tape, with syringes in the inside of the tape rolls, which makes the heart shape outline 3D
The main color is white with a little blue so I think it is monochromatic
This image has a variety of objects used to create the image- 1 inch round tape, 2 inch round tape tape, long cylinder syringes, and square shaped gauze. As for the principles of design there is some variety with the different objects
Background is a clear glass on a wood table. There is gauze outline shape of a heart with a tape outline and then in the inside of the tape outline there is layered gauze.
This image is some what neat, but is fragile due to the light objects
The square gauze outline was complicated to keep layered and in line as a heart shape
The image shows repetition with the outline layer of gauze and inside layer of gauze
I think the outside layer of gauzes show rhythm compared to the inside layer of gauze
Looking at this image the emphasis is on the tape outline with the syringes sticking out. I think that it what gets the viewers attention first.

Danielle F.-J's Hopeful Heart!

Art Piece #1: Hopeful Heart
Media: leaves, daffodils, egg crate, eggshells, wood ash, rain water
Organic shapes. Real texture. Value contrast between the egg crate/eggs and wet leaves. Neutrals with primarily warm colors. Near Symmetrical as the one eggshell is slightly off-balance. Rhythm and background interest are created in the overlapping lines of the wet leaves. Emphasis is the daffodils. Textural variety is created by the use of six distinctive materials. This piece achieves a sense of unity and the theme of rebirth and renewal come through to create a warm, optimistic mood.

Dean W's Temptation Heart!

Temptation (Piece with candle)
* Symmetrical Balance- Everything is the same on both sides of the heart.
* The theme is self-affliction. This is why there is money, pills, and baking soda (symbol for cocaine), and tacks on the outside. The inside is rather dead and dull. I put in dark green tea leaves to make it look like dead grass. The last hope of the heart is the candle representing that even though there are terrible things in this world, nothing can actually fully take over the heart.
* polychromatic because there are more than 2 colors in the design.
* Media-Tea leaves, Candle,Coins, Dollar Bills, Tacks, Baking Soda, and Pills
* Repetition-the tea leaves,pills,coins, and tacks
* Rhythm-The Rhythm of the coins and the money
* real texture
* implied lines
* variety (yes)
* organic shape
* light value with the candle light
* Focal point is the candle

Nikolai M's Giant Heart

My first piece has a kitchen theme. It was taken on my kitchen table cloth and made using items found only in that room. It has rough symmetry from the referential heart shape. The inside is monochromatic, composed of utensils to eat or prepare food, while the outer food ring of the heart is composed of primary and secondary colors.

Liza H's Healthy Heart!

Ø  My second piece title is healthy diet. The balance of this piece is symmetrical or formal. It has unity as well. This piece have repetition and rhythm too. It has media verity and it does not have economy. The color which I used in this piece is cool color and warm. Green is cool color which means relax and yellow is warm color. Terminator color. The shape is heart ideograph.

Roger M.'s Delicious Hearts!

The cereal heart is symmetrical and is done in the neutrals of white, light brown and dark brown on a black background. There is repetition in the use of the frosted mini wheats, chex and cheerios. These cereals also create vertical lines that create rhythm. The focal point is the large heart in the center. It is an example of emphasis for several reasons: scale- it is larger than anything else, placement- it is right in the center and value-it is the lightest large thing. It is also a referential shape.
