The Speed of Sight

1. The theme I am exploring is ‘The Speed of Sight”. The speed of sound and the speed of light can be measured, but sight cannot. The speed of sight is unknown and possibly non-existent, making it interesting and mysterious. It is something that is rarely explored, and I thought it was a unique idea. There could be countless ways of portraying it, and I had a specific idea of how I was going to do it.

2. One element of design I used in my composition is size. The eye at the end of the road is much larger than everything else in the composition. The main focus of the picture is the eye, which is much larger than everything else in the composition. All of the large images are the focuses of the composition. The speedometer is also large, drawing focus towards it as well. Everything else is in the background and consists of smaller figures. Another element of design I used in my composition is color. Color is used to draw attention towards the focal point, which is the eye. The background image of the highway is relatively dull, so color is used to liven up the image. A principal of design I used is contrast. I used contrast in my composition between the dark road and the colorful lines added along the road. The dark road is contrasted with the blue, red and green blotches added to the road. I focused on contrast because the contrast makes it so that the eye focuses on certain elements of the composition. Another principal of design I used in my composition is unity. The lines added along the road look as if they belong there. The eye looks as though it belongs at the end of the highway and that the road leads to the eye. I focused on unity because I wanted it to look like everything belonged where it was and that it made sense to be where it is.
