Stanczak-Shape

Tyler Stanczak--Design--Shapes

For the first design I had to take a second glance at the picture because it did not appear to be symmetrical right away. What this artist did that was clever than most individuals when designing a symmetrical picture is that he made his art look unique. He did not just take the easy way out and plop two simple shapes side by side and call it day. What he did was outside the box because he took a multitude of shapes--in particular the circle--and would alter them in a way to look unique. Doing this, allowed the artist to really get creative designing a symmetrical piece of work. That is what I love about artist, they think outside the box and have minds that most people can hardly ever understand--it is beautiful!

For the second design I clearly noticed that it was asymmetrical due to the fact that the shapes placed in the picture are focused primarly in a "L shape." Yes, there are a couple of shapes noticeable in the top left corner, but they are not emphasized as strongly in order to really emphasize the idea that this is an asymmetrical design. What this artist does cleverly is that he tends to overlap his shapes in order to evolve different primary colors. This artists sticks with the them of blue, yellow, and red (black and white is also slightly visible) in order to portray a message. Creativity does not come from the colors you use, but from the creativity that is portrayed through the art work. With this being said, this artist really focuses on the design because his color scheme is very traditional. Another fascinating piece of work!

For the last design, I was immediately drawn to the creativity used in this piece of art because while it does maintain a radial theme, it still captivates a sense of creativity. They begin ripple effect in this art work by using a triangle shape. By spiraling it around multiple time it begins to create this growing ripple that evolves into a radial theme. What is unique about this piece of art is that it uses a hard edged shape such as a triangle and creatively blends in different angles and positions in order to evolve a circular flowing design. This artist really knows how to use the bare minimum and make something amazing using only one shape!
