Assignment 7 - Vibrating and Disappearing Edges

SVSU ART 111-01 - Hanson
This project explored the use of vibrating and disappearing edges. By using two colors with similar like intensities but varying hues the edges of the composition and either disappear or vibrate when looked at.
For the vibrating inches project I used a composition developed in project 2. This composition was completed using blue, red, and green hues. The vibrating edges in the final composition did not appear as strong as they did in early mockups which was disappointing. Even with the issues with the hue selections there are still interesting vibrations occurring as the line weights vary.
The disappearing edges composition turned out much better. I chose very saturated hues for this project to explore how that would work out. Also for this project chose the composition that had numerous concave and convex shapes as well as shapes within the field of background color. At a distance this composition turns into a murky field of deep saturated blue. At different distances, the composition drastically changes in appearance. The edges disappear fairly well with these hues.
The difference between the actual project and the scanned version is quite profound. In the original the value differences between green and blue are very subtle. In the image above the value differences are much more pronounced and you really cannot see the edge disappearing.
