Geometric Shape


Biomorphic Shape 


Positive Shape- the "B" is the clear object in the photo. 


Negative Shape: the background of the wall, and anything you can see from in between the leaves is a negative shape 


Non objective Shape

Line Photos


The roots of this tree are going in many different directions, which creates a sense of wildness. Some of the lines are curved and goes off the page, which creates direction. 

There are many lines in this ice. These lines are straight and create other geometric shapes, like rectangles and triangles. There is more space between the lines near the bottom of the photo, the space between lines is smaller at the bottom, creating narrower shapes. It creates a very interesting pattern. 

The river creates a horizontal line, which creates direction in this photo. The trees create many vertical lines of many different sizes. 

The steps create horizontal lines. These lines get smaller as you move to the top of the page, which creates direction. There are also horizontal lines in the railings, which again creates direction at the top of this photo. Then, the shadows of the railings create zig zagging lines, which creates a lot of movement in the center of the photo. 

There are so many lines in the bark of this tree. I also chose to take the photo looking up so that the length of the tree would create lines that extended to the top of the photo. I think the lines in the bark create a very interesting pattern and a lot of unity. 





Line Sketch


I sketched this while listening to "Bird Set Free" by Sia.

Composition Collection







I think this photo is good composition because it has good balance. There are two houses to either side of the bench and the bench is centered in the photo. There's emphasis on the bench.



This photo is good composition because there is emphasis on the car in the front, as well as balance with the two houses on either side, as well as contrast between the color of two houses. I also feel that the pattern in the bricks gives it texture.




This photo is bad composition because the photo has bad lightning and there are a lot of shadows, and doesn't draw the viewer in. The buildings and fence are cut off and it does not create unity.



This photo is also bad composition because it's again, very dark while the sky is very bright, so it is distracting for the viewer. There's also a broken sign which is distracting and the same color at the fence, so overall, it's really a very confusing and messy photo.
