This was next attempt at showing rythm through chiaroscuro. I think this worked better than the first one because it evoked much more emotiong because of its varied lines. Although a friend close me me accidentally splattered a bit onto the canvas. the altogether look is powerful.

In an attempt to evoke emotion and show rythm, I used light and dark lines purposefully. The lines are nearly straight, and run in both horizontal and vertical directions. The canvas can be turned either way and evoke a different feeling each way. The lines going either way can be seen as grass-like, tree-like, fire-like, water-like etc.

This collage, demonstrating purposefully an apparent foreground and background, use texture, value, overlapping, and proportion effectively. Although the farthest and nearest textures do not create as much space as I wanted, the purpose of the exercise as accomplished. I may try this again using bigger and more apparently contrasting shapes.
