Geometrics

The reason that there have not been many posts this month is that I have just returned from a long school trip to Rwanda. 

However, now that I am back, I have been busy!

I have continued to develop the geometric images from my previous posts in a number of ways. In particular I liked the way the second image was divided up into rectangles by the pattern and direction of the lines:

Diagonals

These are further developments of some of the geometrical images I had been working on in previous posts. I likes the strong diagonals that emerged as the images 'shattered'. I will further develop these to explore some colour combinations.

Geometric wheels

I further explored the geometrical images I had been working on in a previous post. I was quite interested in the contrast that developed between the smooth block colours and the textured lines of the wheel image that divided it:

Bike tyre revisited

After my further developments of the wheel image I decided to review and develop some previous images. I worked on the bike image that I posted in January. In particular I really liked the visual echo effect that was created, and the dramatic contrast between the black and the white areas

Wheel development

I have been continuing to develop the 'Wheel' image from a previous post using some new digital tools. 

Monochrome Geometrics

I have been experimenting with some new digital tools and ways to explore and develop images. I created this series of abstract compositions comprised of geometric shapes and patterns. They were all derived from the same original photograph of a stone wall with plants growing along the top.

Wheel

I created this image by exploring and developing a simple photograph of a car wheel. The strong shapes combined with the shattering effect really appealed to me.

I explored different tonal values and contrasts (below) before I completed the final image above.
