Tight grid: taken in the Academic Resource Center

There are nine images and they are all lined up and of the same size. 

Loose grid: Academic Resource Center

There are a variety of images spread across the painting and none of them are lined up or of the same size.

This was my favorite merely due to the amount of detail put into the drawings. It caught my eye right away as the best drawn currency of them all. I like the simplicity of it all as well. I feel it has a very positive message as well.

I found this interesting because it is Lebanese currency. My father is Lebanese and I have visited the country myself. The images used are very beautiful and the sun is always a big part of their day-to-day lives.

This is an artwork done by Chuck Close titled "Phil". I immediately thought it was a young Dustin Hoffman portrait. I find it so interesting how he is able to make these images have so much detail and definition to them even though it is not actually a picture or painting for that matter. It is just a lot of different images compiled together. If you look close enough, there a ton of different spots for the face and neck and a lot of swirly lines for the hair.

This is an example of how repetition of form is used in commercials. Car commercials do it all the time when they show a spokesperson talking about their "long line of great cars". Dealerships also park cars this way for space and for it to look aesthetically pleasing. This is repetition of form because whether the cars are exactly the same or not, from this view, all we see are a long line of "cars". We don't care what make or model, as long as they are organized and capturing our attention.
