Each of the graffiti pieces below are a type of balance; either asymmetrical, symmetrical, or radial. Identify which balance goes with which graffiti and explain why. Also tell me how the artist has used contrast in each artwork. This is due Friday, March 27th.

Image C in symmetrical. It's pretty obvious seeing how it has a line of symmetry. It uses contrast by using light blue and bright orange on a black background. That really makes it pop.
Image B Is asymmetrical because nothing corresponds with anything. It's a portrait. And It uses contrast by using extremely eye catching colors on a very dull grey brick wall. Its practically impossible not to notice.
Image A is radial because the rays of the sun figure are coming off from it. And it uses contrast by using a bright yellow on a dark red wall.
Image A is radial because the sun beams come out from the body of the sun, image B is asymmetrical because the image isn't symmetrical, and image C is symmetrical because the pattern is the same on either side. Image A has a strong, sharp contrast. Image B has more of a soft contrast and image C has a strong, sharp contrast.
In image B the asymmetrical piece. This is because humans are not perfect and not everything is the same on don't sides. Contrast is used in image B by having the piece mostly gray with light splashes of color. Image C is the symmetrical piece. This piece is exactly the same on both sides. Contrast in this piece is by using complimentary colors which really makes a strong difference in the piece. I believe image a is the radial design. This is because it goes in a semi circle. The contrast of this piece is soft.
The first image (A) is asymmetrical because image B appears to be radial and image C is symmetrical.
image a is radial because comes out from a circle, the contrast is strong because the shading of the brick against the bright yellow shows up more.
image B
is a softer contrast against the grey brick, and its asymmetrical because its not the same on both sides.
image C
neon colors against black makes a strong contrast, it is symmetrical because it lines it mirrors the other side.

Image A is radial.
Image B is asymmetrical because, nothing matches.
Image C is symmetrical because it could be cut perfectly in half.
These images have the same basic contrast of bright colors against dark backgrounds.
