(1) Equal-shaped division
There are two kinds of the equal divisions -
these are the equal-shaped division and the equal area division. The latter
is the division requiring both areas be equal, and that the shapes of the
divided shapes may be different. The former is the division requiring shapes
be equal in all ways. In other words, the equal-shaped division can be
said to be a more difficult area of art and design compared with the equal-area
division because all the unit shapes created by the division must be congruous.
· Figure 178 below is the work of a Swiss artist of concrete art. The other three are the works of
student's doing practical assignments. Because they are divided into parts with equal shapes and
areas, they look ordered, and give a very clear feeling to people who see them. These are the
characteristics of the art and design of equal divisions.
