HW/blog #3

Using the museum link on our blog I was able to come across Eduardo Paolozzi’s collage. The composition is cool because it’s not like other forms of art and it has rainbow colors that capture your attention. Unlike other form of arts that usually don’t use all those primary and secondary colors all at once. The collage definitely uses the rule of odds, using three goofy looking dogs on top. The backgrounds on top where the dogs are unified in one color, wiggly line and shape to form the background and make the dog stand out. Since the dog is a different shape and the different colors. There is visual rhythm in this piece of art, the little squares in the bottom are repeated and the colors also repeat but in different places. The collage has organic and geometric shapes. The geometric shapes are the repeated squares, the little ones and big ones. The dog on top has organic shapes because of his hat, nose and mouth. In my point of view the whole collage is an asymmetrical symmetry. If you cut the collage in half, the two sides don’t correspond to on another in size or shape in the top. Since there is three dogs on top if it is cut in half, one side has more of the dog than the other since the last box the dog is kind of fading away. In the bottom the shapes stay consistent, they are all squares but the colors are not the same nor are the patterns inside the squares. To me the focal point and emphasis is on the first dog to the left and the square that is black and yellow. I think that because since the dog is still in it’s original form you can automatically see it, unlike the last box where the dog is already fading away and loosing it’s color. The black and yellow box also stands out the most because it’s the black makes the yellow pop out, it kind of even looks like an eye. I think the whole collage is on eyelevel. I don’t think there is scale or proportion really going on in this collage. But this college reminds me of one I did in my art class in high school of mickey in different colors.
