General - Opposites

SIMPLE & ORNATE

I finally decided on a pair of opposites, simple and ornate, I chose these words as it would interesting to visually demonstrate the connection between these words.

Again running through some ideas in my sketchbook I looked at different ways I could emphasis simplicity and ornate visually. Thats where I thought about things gradually increasing in detail
I looked at:
mosaics - larger and smaller pieces making up images?
skylines - line drawing gradually becoming more detailed as the strip goes on?
wires - as the wire splits down...?
ropes  - again unravelling?
spot detailed drawings - only one section of detailed drawing/painting?
swarms of animals - the shapes made are denser in some areas and disperse toward edges...



I looked further into the swarms of birds and schools of fish and the kinds of shapes they make...






I liked these shapes because there was a lot of movement in them as well as having denser areas, where things would be more detailed.
