#1 Figure and Ground
A blank Continental Map of the world is a great example of Figure and Ground! The original image is on the left where the white on the page is representing the bodies of water while the land is the figure sitting on top of the page! I have inversed the colors on the map on the right hand side to show how different this map could appear!
#2 Quiet As A Mouse (my personal art) - using all 4 elements of C.R.A.P.
In my digital image creation "Quiet As A Mouse" the loud speakers in the background contrast the quiet mouse in the foreground! The layout shows repetition of all 4 speakers in each corner trying to make the same noise! The speakers are centrally aligned and the mouse is also centered as the figure over top the loud speaker background. Proximity is created by the sound waves which are getting louder and coming closer together! I recreated the famous idiomatic expression into a digital image for the Maryland Art Place Exhibit in 2005 and received an award for this piece.
