escape


This picture reminded me of a scene of a Roman colosseum. The balance of the picture is approximately symmetrical. There is a large proportion of the wall in the picture, which make it a dominant element in the picture. The wall has the geometric form, which consisted mostly of curved and straight line. The straight line of the stone gives off a strong, close and uncomfortable feeling, while the curved line brings the feeling of being surrounded. The main color in the picture is brown of stone. All of these, the proportion, the lines , the form, the color and the low angle in the picture give me a feeling of wanting to escape, but is impossible to do so

castle


I found this photograph on the internet. This picture is approximately symmetric balance. In the picture, the road is the dominance, as it is placed in the center, and the castle is the sub-dominance since it is place in the center, and it is connected by the road, but it is placed far back. Also, there is a resemblance in the picture with Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture style, which combine the horizontal line of the castle and the surrounding environment elements. There is also a combination of organic form of the land and geometric form of castle, and road.
