Rhythm

Top of the Falls, by Eric Green

For this week's assignment regarding rhythm, we were asked to pick a sense (ie: sound, taste, touch, etc) then an image that represents said sense.  I chose sound, and picked an image I took atop Niagara Falls.  The  water falling over the ledge is a key element in presenting that  loud noise that anyone who has visited the Falls can attest to.  

Next, I cropped the image down just to focus on the water going over the ledge that creates the sensation of sound.  There is also a lot of movement and rhythm within this part of the photo. 

 

I then chose 4 different words that respresented the sense of sound.  The four words that I chose were Loud, Gentle, Splatter, and Rushing.  I then manipulated the cropped image to illustrate these words.  Below are the manipulated pieces in the order listed above. 



Loud





Gentle
 

Splatter and Rushing                                                                                 

 

 

After this, I created several other versions that I will post later.  I also drew up the following rhythmic piece using alternating rhythmand then added noise and various other filters to help it more resemble the sense of sound.
