Dakotah- It is repeating black shapes instead of repeating black spaces. The lines are curving around to the front of the body causing your eye to travel there. What are the lines doing at the top of the tattoo to draw your eye down?

When you look at the tattoo the pattern is a repeating pattern of a broader patter which is a V type of shape going down his whole arm. When you look at the patterns your eye want to move and look around the rest of the arm because of the way the lines wrap around the arm.

The Maori tattoo shows movement because the banner things all point into different directions. Its patterns are the shapes because the repeat multiple times.

The Maori tattoo has movement because the lines and all the different shapes look like they are moving in all different directions some are going up some are going down, side ways basically evry where so your eye wants to follow the line to see where it goes and whats on the other side

Thomasine said...

The tattoo shows movement by all of the different line patterns moving down the arm. For pattern there are repeating shapes and designs throughout the tattoo. The lines bring the eye down from the shoulder down into the rest of the line work in the tattoo.

Around the biceps it curves around showing movement also up on the shoulder it looks like it gets smaller and farther away? The pattern is all the little triangles, the stripes, and the jagged black line going down.

The artist of this Maori tattoo uses movement in his/her work by making the design wrap around the arm to make you want to look around the bicep. This artist also uses patterns in his tattoo by using similar shapes that are used in similar ways throughout the tattoo.

The tattoo shows movement and pattern because the way the tattoo is set up with the bottom wrapping around the arm it is showing that it's moving. It is showing pattern by the shapes getting smaller when the tattoo goes down the arm. Also it shows pattern at the bottom of the arm where it wraps around the arm.

The tattoo is Showing movement because the diagonal lines change to a different diagonal line which cause movement

Mrs. Kristiansen said...

Nicely done Sully.

Mrs. Kristiansen said...

Chris- Why would multiple directions make you want to look around the arm?Are the multiple directions leading to a section? Which shapes are repeating?

Mrs. Kristiansen said...

Spencer- What about pattern? Do you think the lines are random?

Mrs. Kristiansen said...

Tommy- Well done on movement. Which shapes and designs are repeating?

Mrs. Kristiansen said...

Jack- well done on movement. All the little triangles, the stripes, and the jagged black line going down make a pattern because they repeat.

Mrs. Kristiansen said...

Koal- well done on movement. Be specific about which shapes are similar and repeat. Are they black rectangles, interlocking squares?

Mrs. Kristiansen said...

Riley- For movement the wrapping is correct because it makes your eye want to move around. The tattoos are not really moving. For pattern be specific; are they triangles and do they repeat?

Mrs. Kristiansen said...

Hannah- Why would diagonal lines changing to other diagonal lines cause movement? Also what is happening as far as pattern?

Anita said...

The artist used repeating patterns and intersecting lines with the patterns curving around the body to create movement. The patterns on the shoulder and around the upper arm give a sense of movement in the direction of the repeating patterns.

The artist uses pattern by repeating lines and triangles and rectangles. The artist also uses movement by making your eyes move all around due to the fact that the tattoo goes in all different directions.

The movement and pattern in this tattoo's design is represented when it curves onto other sections of this man's arm and neck. This Maori tattoo does own many patterns in different parts, because different designs are repeated. Sense the movement in the photo is represented at some turning points it typically cause the human eye to focus in on the whole picture. Even though that means looking around to catch the whole peace. Therefore, the artist who created this tattoo uses both movement, and pattern.

The artist has used movement by rapping the tattoo around the arm, making the person looking at the tattoo want to look on the other side of the arm. He uses pattern by repeating black fill.

Jacob McMahon said...

The artist shows movement by wrapping the design around the bicep of the guy. He uses pattern by repeating every design so that it makes a pattern.

Ian said...

This tattoo uses movement with the overlapping designs, and uses pattern by reusing overlapping diamonds throughout the tattoo.

lucas said...
