This part of the assignment was to create an expressive rhythm with lines. I had used a stylized brush and did one curved stroke. Then I copied and pasted said curved lines and just rotated them to form a spiral-looking image. It looks similar to the wind charts on the weather channel.

Rhythm Assignment
This Rhythm assignment plays with the thick and thinness of the lines that are parallel to each other. It creates an optical illusion the fools you into thinking that the thinner lines are far away are the thicker lines are closer, it could even pass for a barcode or even those lines that show up when there is an error with the T.V station.

The Creation of Adam
The artwork that I’m critiquing for Imitationalism is Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam. Adam and God are realistic and proportionate. The painting is definitely detailed; it was completed in less than four years without assistance for Pope Julius. There is lots of negative space between Adam and God but the space that Adam and God do take up is used. The quality of the painting is impressive though.
Though it does spark a kind of intriguing feel as you see God transferring the “Spark of Life” to Adam, I don’t think I feel like any emotions I’m feeling resonate with this particular work of art. The mood I’d say that this painting projects would be a serious feeling, other might ague that it has a triumphant are around it.
There is lots of negative space between Adam and God but the space that Adam and God do take up is used. Line and shape are use exceptionally in this work of art. The painting looks like there’s a smooth texture to it.
