Illusion of Motion by Multiple Image

I chose the image above not only because I feel that it represents the topic, but I also chose it because it was similar to an assignment we did in class. This painting is successful because it gives you the impression that this figure that is in place is going to make a move. You anticipate that some sort of movement might occur.

Alternating Rhythm

The piece relates to alternating rhythm because of its consistent pattern. You are able to anticipate what will happen next in the piece. What makes this piece perfect to describe alternating rhythm is that it has a predictable quality to it.

Illusion of Motion by Blurred Outline

When I think of blurred motion, I typically think of photographs my grandma is taking and someone within it moves. The photo above I feel is a good example because the figure appears to not be in motion, but it is really the people behind who are not moving as fast.

Illusion of Motion by Repeated Figure

For this blog, I thought I would do something different. Although there appears to be the same figure but in different color. The picture is actually composed of various people to represent a Tetris map. This picture, taken from a youtube video repeats the constant parade of people representing Tetris blocks in different colored t-shirts. It is a really neat video to checkout by the way.

Anticipated Motion

The photo above appears to be a woman dancing. The figures that appear more transparent are meant to show the future or previous movement that she has possessed. I felt as if this was a good example because you are able to anticipate what might happen to in her movements.

Spatial Puzzles

Equivocal Space is the concept of using transparency to confuse the perception of depth. I used the photo above because I feel that it uses transparency to create depth. The various lines and shapes pass through each other and overlap to create a sense of three dimensionality. 

Multiple Perspective

Multiple perspective is the use of taking different stock photos and placing them in a fashion that would make up the image but in different viewpoints.An example of this is the photo above. Various photos from one place are taken and composed to make one. Although the various pictures are of different focus and timeframe, they make up one larger photo that conceptualizes the various time, space, and motion that make up life.
