Cut-Out Collage Write Up

I feel like the dominant element of my top piece was the groups that I put my objects in. I cut out many objects similar to each other, but instead of putting all the similar objects with one another, I separated them and put them in different spots on the black paper. Another reason this piece "worked" was because I had a mix of geometric and organic shapes and blended them together. I put this piece under the "rhythm" category because there are some shapes the reoccur often, such as the leaves, squiggly lines. and swirls.

I feel like the dominant element of my bottom piece was that the shapes I included were mirroring each other. The symmetry of this piece really worked because it balanced out between the location of the organic shapes and the colors - black on white paper. I put this piece under the "balance" category because of the balance provided by the shapes and their locations.
