Week 1 Tasks






When I take a look at a snake I see movement, continuity and constriction. I have brought in these above images to introduce my next element; movement. The spirals made in a vortex, represents a snake moving all over its prey while slowing constricting it.







The above images further explains the level of continuity present. The snakes skeleton being predominantly formed by an array of ribs forces the eye to work its way up from the snakes rattle or tail to its skull.









For this task I will be looking into snakes . The scales represent the intricate detail that has been forged onto its owner. The images above displays constriction littered with a sense of continuity. The scales reflect different angles of light to a viewer just like tiny compacted windows on a structure showing off all its reflective glory. What intrigues me most is the complex geometry these scales posses.
