Symmetry and Asymmetry?

Symmetry means a mirror image

Which means that both sides are proportional to each other.
This type of image has great appeal, many people automatically gravitate to symmetrical phenomenon.

Look around us~we are symmetrical after all !

Asymmetry also known as informal balance

Asymmetry means without symmetry.

It has nothing to do with balance.
No mirror images as well.

Overall : ~

So,symmetrical and asymmetrical composition is our new assignment.

We need to create 2 picture which involve these 2 kinds of composition in it.

The pictures are presented in collage and paper cutting method,not by plain drawing.

Finally, i've done my both pictures,but i don't really satisfied with it,course i think is not the best of me,seriously.

Anyway,take a look at my symmetrical picture~

As you can see

This is a abstract version of a human face

It also looks like the face of a zebra,or an elephant.

Depends on your own perspective on this abstract picture.

I design this human face into more primitive ways,u can tell by noticing the tribal tattoos on the face.

(It is not the wrinkles by the way~)

The color combination is half black and half red. 

Black represented the cruel world outside which is fulled of darkness.

While the red represented surviving and revolution of life.

Personally,i think that red and black are very matched.

All i wanna described through this picture is the innermost of a human heart, there is always a beast inside.

No matter how noble or how knowledgeable you are.

When things come to a despair situation，

Humans will eventually show their beastliness to protect their own rights and safety.

 It can't be avoided as we are a part of the role in the law of the jungle too.

WE NEED TO SURVIVE

And this is my asymmetry picture.

This time i used a grey A4 paper and a small piece of red paper.

The picture is very simple and straight forward which has no too intense meaning compared to the symmetrical picture.

As you can see,a man is trying to kiss with a woman.But their lips are not attach to each other yet.

This symbolizes love is more beautiful before it really started.

Just like ambiguous in a relationship which is always the sweetest part for a couple.

I purposely make the lips of the woman red because that will become some soft of a focal point for the whole picture,and it will not be too dull.
