I chose to make a visual representation of the "Rule of Three" along with the "Rule of Thirds".
These are both design concepts common in many/most artistic genres.
Simply stated, the Rule of Three is based on the idea that three objects are more pleasing to the eye than one, two or four.
The Rule of Thirds is a composition technique where a design is divided into thirds either vertically, horizontally or both. The focal points of the design are then placed along one of those lines or at any of the intersections.
In this image, the sky and ground are split 2/3 to 1/3. The main focal point (the saguaro cactus) is placed approximately at the 1/3 line vertically. Three cacti are featured and each cactus has three branches/arms.
So I'm calling this
3 1/3
(or Three and a Third)
Size: approximately 9" x 6"
I create in Casa Grande,

It involves math, but I understand what you said. I think your cacti are great; I especially like the one on the left.. it almost appears 'ghostly'.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The plant on the left is an ocotillo. It's technically not a cactus, it's a desert shrub. But it was easier to label them all as cacti for my write up. :-)
DeleteGreat application of the Rule of Thirds and Rule of Three. Very math-inspired. I love that fabric you used for the sky.
ReplyDeleteGreat interpretation of the theme and a very striking finish! Good luck with the future challenges! Looking forward to seeing what you create!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteNicely done! Great fabrics for the cacti.
ReplyDeleteLove to see how you include your area of the country in your piece. I like that you are exploring art "rules".
