unity,asymmetrical,scale

-
Artists unify their work in order to compose a in sync piece and for them to do that they must use
repetitive colors and geometric shapes.The composition of one’s piece also is important to unify
the whole painting like balancing the left and right of the canvas.
Georges seurat - a sunday on la grande jatte , 1884
This painting defines unification by using the same umbrella shape and using the color red on
clothing repeatedly.As you can see most of the people there are faced/looking at the same
direction which brings the whole painting together.
 











Asymmetrical is the the opposite of balance, it is artists deliberately making the left and
the right sides of the canvas not the same on “visual weights and color forms”.
Jacques-louis David, Oath of the Horatii
The reason why i chose this painting by david to represent asymmetrical  art is because the left
of this piece has only three people while the right has more than three, already creating this off
balance feeling. I also want to point out that the right has softer colors than the left which has very
stern colors.
Scale can change the meaning of an artwork depending on the object/person, if its an everyday
object that is scaled it is humorous but if its a human it is charged/tense.
Claes Oldenburg-floor cake, 1962

This sculpture stands out so much,cake shouldnt be oversized and on the floor. This sculpture
is a oddity itself the scale of it elevates the overdramatic tone this inputs.

The theme that most spoke out to me is the “seeing and being seen” as described by the participatory structures 1970 While walking in circles or should i say in “squares” since it consists of four walls and televisions that let you see others behind you or see yourself if you do it correctly.  Nauman’s method of artwork can be seen as straightforward but thats what makes it boggling, as seen in: Clown with video surveillance,1986 There are no doors in these toilet stalls so whats the point in the surveillance camera? Everything about this picture describes nauman’s theme it causes discomfort. The composition and canvas can be seen as uneven which adds into the whole distorted vibe. Notice the cut out next to the clown? Yes that really sets off this piece it is a real woman next to a cartoon drawn clown, we will
