Elements and Principles of Design

Rainbow Waves

For this project I took two ideas that I had generated on a graph I made combining elements and principles of design and made them into finished works of art that somehow fit together. The two ideas that I turned into final projects are movement and space (bottom) and movement and texture (top). I created the texture in that on by using the stippling method. The way that I made them fit somewhat together was by adding rainbow colors to each.

I used several different materials on this project. On the bottom design I used a black sharpie and a variety of colored pencils. On the top design I used a black Micron pen and different colored gel pens.

Both of these designs were originally black and white. However, I thought that was too boring and uncreative so I added color to both. The top design also had a much more exaggerated wave in my original design and if I had the choice I would go back and make the final product look that way. I could also deepen the color on that one so it better fits with the bottom design.
