Design Principles - Week 3 Repetition, Movement, Hierarchy & Alignment

Week 3

This weeks lecture was about the design principles Repetition & Movement. Repetition is the uses of repeated shapes or elements in a piece to create a composition. It can be symmetrical or not. Movement is a composition that shows the movement in an image. Although an image is still a lot of elements can be used to show movement including lines and actions and different parts of the composition to emphasize the subject to be moving. Hierarchy and alignment is basically how a design is used to lead the viewer into a text or a subject by using different elements in it.

Exercise 3

This exercise required you to make 2 artworks based on each principle Repetition and Movement, while applying hierarchy and alignment into it.

Repetition


First exercise is on repetition and i decided to sketch out a row of buildings. The idea is to show repetition using the building aligned next to each other. I used color pencils as water color or pastels were not available.

Movement

For this one i sketched out a road on a hill leading up to a bicycle which is the subject. The lines on the road and perspective show the bicycle in movement.
