Depth

Depth is shown through the focal point of the person and the framing of the environment. The blurring of the foreground also goes to enhance the focus on the person further into the picture.



M.C. Escher "Gallery" 1946

Big fan of Escher, and a lot of his works implore some kind of depth into their overall image and this one is no exception. The framing works to draw the eye more to the focal point in the middle of the image, which seemingly pulls the viewer into its dark space.

Rhythm

Saturn’s North Pole, as seen by the Cassini-Huygens probe NASA

A natural occurrence of rhythm. The rings of Saturn create a repeating almost wavy pattern that exemplifies rhythm like waves on water. They also remind me of reapeating sound waves in their pattern.



From Pink Floyd's "Waiting for the Worms" video

A very striking image. Both in motion (which you should see it in motion in the video) and repetition is an exemplary form of rhythm. Also cool imagery by itself, with its oppressive overtures and totalitarian message.

Balance

The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, 15th century.

One of, if not the most recognized works of art in history is an excellent example of symmetrical balance. If you section the painting into segments, each side of the painting is equal to the other i.e. the drapery on the walls are equal to each other, the doors and windows are in the center of the frame, even the table and the space beneath it act as space serves to split and section the image equally.




Mirrors by Traci Griffin

For this project, Griffin photographs trees in various places and mirrors the branches while mostly leaving out the trunks. It is an excellent example of symmetry in something that I myself had never thought of before. It is very reminiscent of a Rorschach test where the audience may see different things in the piece.
