Production Methods
I was learning the basic art terminology and how many different variables end up
being used for the final product. As such all these are with the same basic shape
formatted to fulfill what that term is and sets an example for it.

Asymmetrical Balance
I preferred to use as few shapes to reflect each other. Also wanted to create an invisible 'line' the two shapes cannot cross diagonally down the middle.
It ended up having two parallel lines where each triangle 'kiss' is located.

Asymmetrical Balance Sketches
Quite a few of these were playing with where the triangles are located in order that they reflect from each other. I ended up very much liking the ones where the triangle is implied to be out of the viewer's perspective.
Symmetry
Since this is one shape reflecting with another I wanted to use the same continuous triangles throughout it.
As an optional choice you can repeat the image in order for it to be both symmetrical, but also a pattern that can be used for something else.

Symmetry Sketches
I used quite a few triangle that point away from their counterpart triangles so they try to force the viewer to look else where.
Otherwise, I very much wanted to have a pattern with the symmetry that could in theory be repeated indefinitely.
Golden Mean
Using both the Golden Mean and Radial Point it draws your eye towards the one corner.
I wanted to make it so if you follow the triangles they all point to the same spot, and
that theoretically go indefinitely off into the distance.

Golden Mean Sketches
For some of these sketches I tried to follow the Golden Mean's shell shape to the dot, but
I found that did not work as well as I wanted it to.
Instead I found the ones that point to a specific area worked better.

Negative Shape
I am very pleased in how this one turned out as the smaller triangle is reflecting the larger one. The small one draws your eye to the triangle because it is by itself, yet the larger triangle is also interesting because of the individuals triangles making a full big one.
Negative Shape Sketches
The desired result was to use quite a bit of negative space to draw the attention towards itself or the odd triangle. So quite a few of my sketches were symmetry of each other using the differently colored triangles.
Movement
I enjoyed this one the most because it uses a simple arrow shape to infer the triangles are going that direction with only three triangles in total.
It also has the added bonus of making it seem the viewer should follow
where the 'arrow' is pointing.

Movement Sketches
I was unsure exactly how to show the shape was 'moving' or had some where to go.
Some of these I used several triangles to infer it is the same triangle that you see at
all the stages of its movement.
