Visions of Music (not including actual music)



This piece is for the visions of music project, in which you got a picture and created something that matched what song you decided to put it with. Basically it looks like a warped line of water going vertically upwards, with water droplets all around it and a steel wall with the water on it. The top and bottom areas of the picture are darkened and only the middle area contains enough light to comprehend water all around.

This one's pattern could only be a pattern if you counted the water droplets on the wall, which are by the way common and repeatable-looking, as a pattern, in which case it would. Contrast would be the middle brightness compared to the darkness of the ends of the top and bottom of the picture. The stream of water positioned horizontally is emphasized because it is the only thing to focus on throughout the work/piece. The balance is asymmetrical, it is tilted slightly and is uneven technically. Not sure if there is unity, there isn't anything else that works together, the background maybe because it is bright and helps the stream with a shadow.

The piece means that if you have a good camera, or someone you know does, borrow it and screw with it until you come up with something like this on a random setting. Although I did plan on the picture looking like this beforehand but I was originally hoping for a perfectly undisturbed one, this worked just the same. I am saying that only because I did not expect the lighting to turn up like that on the wall of the sink.

I thought that this piece was successful, when put to the tune of Marty Robbins singing "Cool Water", it turned out just fine in the end. The elements of design work decently well out of it, there isn't much actually unity in it though, something I found interesting but I couldn't think of anything to fix it. It looks unique because of the water just floating there in the air, and the lighting it got with the shadow behind it and the gleam.
