focal point  + emphasis  isolation +  dominance symmetry  balance + unity bilateral  symmetry  divides a composition symmetrically in half either along the vertical  or  horizontal axis.  bilateral vertical symmetry Ed Ruscha, 2002,  Step on No Pets This type of design provides for an overall equilibrium in composition and thus, an overall balance + unity, without variety. biaxial  symmetry   is a composition that has more than 2 axes of symmetry = vertical + horizontal. This guarantees that the composition has balance, both upper and lower parts of the design AND left and right areas of the design  along Horizontal or Vertical axis  > providing formal balance, and thus, complete unity. Biaxial  symmetry  has the possibility of more than two axes. Snowflakes and kaleidoscopes have three axes of symmetry and are excellent examples of biaxial symmetry Inverted  symmetry  uses symmetry with 1/2 inverted design to complete the composition.  Du

This project is inspired by the award-winning documentary WASTELAND about the contemporary artist Vic Muniz and his amazing project created in Brazil in 2009.   As a response to the documentary and your ideas social and environmental change, you will be creating a designed image or object that is inspired by the transformation of materials.   Vic Muniz used the medium of sugar on a dark substrate to create recognizable portraits of the children whose parents worked in the sugar cane fields.   He also transformed recyclable waste from the Rio de Janerio landfill to create enormous portraits of the people who were the "pickers" of the landfill at  Jardim Gramacho,  whom he met and collaborated with.  Look at this TED talk  Vic Muniz makes art with wire, sugar, chocolate and string Look at his website and see is work based on sugar and chocolate drawings at  vikmuniz.net/en/ Here are examples of his chocolate drawings: Assignment: In
