Discovering the magic of doodling was quite fun and rewarding. They are the ‘masterpieces’ of my doodling works in this challenge.
This project was about exercising the principle elements of design (unity, balance, emphasis, etc.) If you are interested in making it, the task was to make 2×2 squares, doodle random things into the squares; make photocopies of the squares, reduce them to 1×1 (by 50%), cut, arrange the squares into three 8′ x 8′ compositions that illustrate – bilateral symmetry, Asymmetry, and Radial symmetry.
PIECE#1 — BILATERAL SYMMETRY
an image of which the two cut halves along a central axis are mirror images of each other
PIECE#2 — ASYMMETRY
an image of which the two cut halves along the central axis are not mirrored each other. A lack of balance or symmetry
PIECE#3 — RADIAL SYMMETRY
a symmetrical arrangement of radiating parts from the central point
These are beautiful – they remind me of “zentangles.”
Zentangles is a cool name. These were not introduced to me by that name but the process of making the squares is really the same. Thank you -Southern Sea Muse- for dropping by! 🙂
Very creative…
Thank you for stopping by djmrakiey
These are very creative masterpieces indeed. 🙂
You made my day even happier. Thank you Cathy!
That is complicated and beautiful! But then…that’s why it’s called a masterpiece 🙂
