Balance

This piece or work is supposed to demonstrate the element of art known as balance, and is technically asymmetrical balance. What it contains is a fiery looking background divided in three different parts, with different words taken from cut images out of magazines. The messages refer to some kind of recruiting poster for an anti-machine group, something I was thinking about during it's creation time.

There is no specific pattern in this picture, and is asymmetrical, so to conclude with that, definitely no specific pattern anywhere in this picture. In the matter of contrast, I could say that each layer or section of the piece contrasts each other despite having only minor changes in brightness and color. The thing being emphasized is the letters and words that involve being recruited into an anti-robot group, which was the primary point of this so I would say it has emphasis. It has asymmetrical balance, which I admit is getting really common in these critiques, but as it is not symmetrical or has radial balance, it's asymmetrical. Being that it contains most of the other elements of art, it contains unity in it's repertoire.

The piece is supposed to be representative of some kind of flaming poster that is on some building that was destroyed by the robots. The building was destroyed because it was supposed to be a rebel base, as evidenced by the poster on the wall advertising to join the anti-robot rebellion. This seems waaay too dramatic but unfortunately that is what I came up with during development, whether or not I could have had better ideas is now a moot point.

I felt that it was successful in at least representing the poster of an anti-robot rebellion, but the words need some editing to be made better. The elements work together pretty good to create unity, I maybe should have made it look a little bit neater but as it is i'd accept it. While not neat, at least it's something you can look at without immediately dismissing it as terrible but still should have been done cleaner.
