Repetition in art

 Repition is used by different artists: 3 of which being Yayoi Kusama,Donald Judd and Sol LeWitt.

       Yayoi Kusama

Yayoi Kusama was a Japanese artist who works primarily in sculpture and installation and is also active in painting. Yayoi uses many different patterns that are repeated through her art such as shapes and dots or small circles which she tends to spread around all over the place in either smaller or larger. Dots are used in almost all her arts to show the different visuals of shapes and objects that she makes in order to give off an emotion about how or what she does that is important for her. 


This art of Yayoi Kusama shows the use of many different dots which shows her creativity when it comes to art. The use of dots are repeated as mentioned before making it stand out more in the 3d space. 


This artwork shows repetition from the repeated use of the dots and as well as the lines which are used to create the pumpkins creating unity.

   Donald Judd

Donald Clarence Judd was an American artist associated with minimalism who is also an artist that used repetition in his art.Minimalism is all about owning only what adds value and meaning to your life,Donald judd used shapes such as squares and rectangles in order to create cubes mostly associated with simplified composition while avoiding personal expression and spatial illusion. His artwork mostly uses the same forms of shapes again and again repeatedly making him one of the artists who used repetition in their work. 

this artwork also shows the use of detachment by detaching the objects from one another.

Sol LeWitt

Sol LeWitt was an American artist linked to various movements such as the use of wavy lines which the artist has shown to have repeat when using the pattern. Sol LeWitt was also associated with minimalism which is the way of drawing or keeping in things that are important to the person. One of his artwork uses different types of lines which is shown to be very colorful and illusionary in some cases.


This shows a very repetitive art which uses lines overlapping with another and again. 


This is also another repetitive artwork from the use of lines.

3 Letter+Word Final Reflection

Image
This is my final for 3 letter+word final. When I first thought of an idea i thought of how to come up with an unscrambled word that can fit my design. This led me to choose I and Q as the starting letters,I originally thought of Qwill,however I realized that the Word was supposed to be Quill so I got mixed up and put W. I used G as the curve word to include a challenge that could help my improvement for doing words for future projects. I also did not realize that I accidentally formed a word when using D and O. I just went along with D because of how simple and good it looked to put in the space remaining and an O because O was something I also did in one of my sketches. I did not realize if you put the three together you could form DOG and GOD. That also brought the teachers to be confused so well in a way it is a backup word for the other one because of the spelling mistake.

Repetition

  The use of repetition in this is the dotted lines,I didn’t really do much since I was just thinking about repetition for project and when I created this it felt a spider web (for me) which gives off a weird feeling,  I got the ruler started creating wavy lines and decided to make it go diagnol in different directions,it looked like plants leaves and I just added the circles cuz it felt blank. I got the ruler,started drawing lines in a shape of a triangle and just shaded in and decided to stipple a little bit on the top to make stand out which doesn’t. I looked at the keyboard,and did random things with the shape I think I could add more but didn’t have any ideas to do so. I decided to use the diagnol line when I was creating my framal tefrence and decided to add some wavy lines and dots on each side to make it a form of repetition. At first I didn’t really know what I was doing but once I started with the lines I got the idea to stipple around and this reminds me of a design...
