4. Describe what is potentially happening between the steps. How effective is the continuity between the seven steps, explain? If the continuity is not effective why is it not working?
The colors are definitely changing between each step, but there seems to be so much variety that it’s hard to tell what’s going on. The A looks to be moving around the screen with no cohesion. It’s a very colorful image no doubt, but all the bright contrast hurts it more than helps.
5. What do you think of the quality of the design and composition? Is there enough contrast between each of the seven images to get a true feeling of chromatic metamorphosis, explain? If not also explain?
Student Critiqued: Martha
Martha’s overall design and composition quality is good – playfully primitive (in a good way) with bright and cheery elements in each image in the seven-image sequence. The letter and the rhythmic lines does the most morphing throughout the sequence while the plants and birds remains static to anchor the images together. All images used in each sequence change colour and/or texture at one point or another. The best contrast element between the seven images is how each background dramatically changed colour, providing a nice contrast as the sequence runs.
My only suggestion to make this sequence more effective would be to start one of the static elements either faded or invisible and let it slowly materialize as the letter disappears.
2. What type of balance is used in the metamorphosis and what is the point of focus? Does either change between the steps or do they remain the same throughout the steps? Be specific in answers.
The balance is the what appear to be branches on each side. The main point of focus is the letter moving around. The letter changes appearance in each frame.
1. Name three ways using color enhances the chromatic metamorphosis from sequence to sequence?
———————————–
Martha,
Your use of color is absolutely beautiful; very fun and expressive. (You started off with very “earthy” colors then transition to more vibrant, attention-grabbing colors.)The transition from the dark greys to the vibrant oranges then to blues really caught my attention; it really brought out your images. You first start off from very cool colors and work through warmer colors and back to cool colors; the color contrast throughout the metamorphosis was really appealing and interesting. Your use of complimentary colors (blue and orange, purple and yellow, etc.) was also very effective in bringing harmony to your images. Your images seemed to come alive with each transition in color. The grey colors gave the feeling of a very “calm” mood but you then use very vibrant colors that give off the feelings of “excitement” as well. To sum it up, three ways (out of many) in which you used color are:
1) Used contrasting colors that grabs your attention and is quintessential to your whole image; it is a part of your design.
2) Used complimentary colors to bring harmony throughout your images
3) The color changes gives off a feeling of changes in moods by transitioning from darker colors to very vibrant hues. You morphed from darker colors to very strong colors that were “fun” and “spunky.”
Very fun piece you did, it’s probably one of my favorites. Great job!

Question 5 – Martha
What do you think of the quality of the design and composition? Is there enough contrast between each of the seven images to get a true feeling of chromatic metamorphosis, explain? If not also explain?
The quality of the design and composition is excellent. The intricacy of the vines and the birds make these images interesting. This design features wonderful use of color and creativity. There was vivid contrast used throughout the sequence of images. There is effective use of texture throughout the sequence particularly with the vines and the letter “A”.
I can tell you put a lot of work into this piece. And you got great results to show for it. This one is personally my favorite.
Perspective/ How is perspective used in the overall composition?
What type of perspective is used and how does it enhance the composition or transition between steps?
God Job Martha, I like the overall results on your composition the use of perspective in your piece or simulates perspective is by giving the effect to it those lines curling downward to the bottom left corner gives the hint of the letter being portrayed as if it was on perspective.
if that was the goal you wanted to achieve, you did an excellent job, I thing this enhances the mood of the composition just as in life there are ups and downs isn’t it true?
