Take a look at this tattoo. What has the artist done to make you move through this composition? The composition is this woman's back. What patterns do you see? How is this tattoo unified? You will need to summarize your answers to the questions I have asked in 4 lines or more. This is due Friday, Feb. 8.

This tattoo uses movement, this is shown by the spine with metal arrow like spine cord things. that also uses pattern and unity. the spine "disks"is repetted in a forward motion. this also unified the tattoo by having the nuts and bolts & gears connecting to the metal spinal cord.
Your eye moves through this tattoo by well just how the gears move they go in a downword movement. This is unified by the brass colored spinal cord going completely down the back along with the shine on all the gears and how it looks like rips. The pattern is there is the same colored gears in every rip and there is redness around every rip it is the same thing different size.
The artist has used form and pattern to make your eye move through the composition. The form; the tattoo has depth and gives the illusion that there are holes in the skin and you're looking at the innards of a bionic woman. It doesn't simply look like a tattoo design, it has depth and therefore gives the misleading impression that what you're looking at is something that could be held in your hands, not just ink. The eye first goes to the first shape with the mechanical design, and then to the one below it, which is larger, and then down to the one below it and the other two below that one. I notice the pattern of the different shapes that the patter of the mechanical workings are confined in, the first shape with the mechanical workings in it is small and shows only a bit of the chains and bolts, then the next one is much larger and shows more of the chains and bolts, the mechanical patter. The one below it is smaller than the previous, but larger than the first, and once again shows us less of the picture. The two below it are relatively the same in size, and show less of the pattern than the one preceding them. The composition is unified by the pattern of the mechanical things in the organic looking shapes, which are all varying in size. There is unity in that throughout all of the different shape the mechanical pattern remains the same, but less or more of it is revealed depending on the size of the organic shapes that the mechanical pattern are in.
I wonder if there was a specific reason this woman got this tattoo. I wonder if it was for aesthetics or if there was some significance behind the mechanical patter. Such as being controlled by a separate force, like another person, or an old habit.
