Day 7

Repetition



Repetition: The act or process or an instance of repeating or being repeated.

Repeat, repeat, repeat... Not only can this bring a sense of calm but it can also drive us up a wall... giving us emotion... which is the whole point of art, or so I think. In college and I guess throughout school I was taught that using repetition in a design could bring a piece together, could bring it unity... heck by using repetition you could actually create a whole piece from the same object, feature, or word over and over again.

For instance Fuck YEAH! ... Fuck YEAH, Fuck YEAH, Fuck YEAH! See you got excited... almost like a football or basketball game it brings emotion, it pumps you up! Now take it and think of a hot porn or of fucking the shit out of someone... Fuck YEAH, Fuck YEAH, Fuck YEAH! Now you’re either turned on or find me to be perverted... which, I mostly am. Anyway, the main thing is, is repetition invokes something in us.

So wanting to use repetition in a piece, I have purchased around 500 army men (for a project that I will soon be talking in more depth about) in which I plan to use creating with mixed mediums. Ready, set, let’s Go!

Quote of the Day: “You're mind is working at its best when you're being paranoid. You explore every avenue and possibility of your situation at high speed with total clarity.” -Banksy

Random Fact: ...I really dislike people sometimes... because I get that we need to put ourselves first and it sucks having to let someone down or hurt their feelings but there is also a thing called common courtesy... if you know something, don’t waist someone’s time and make them think other wise...
