This chapter had a lot of information in it, but I was glad that each principle had a few visual examples to demonstrate its properties. I appreciated the variety of two-dimensional media that Stewart featured in the chapter (oil, acrylic, quilting, graphite, photography, collage, silkscreen, and more).
I found that with the Turn of the Screw poster (3.15) I read the text without noticing the tilted letters, yet I sensed the shift and only realized how the text was organized when I later read though the chapter. The composition of the piece Gumiring Garkman (3.19) is, as the book states, a bit unconventional. It's the top-most layer of the screenprint that is the most intriguing part for me -- the masked areas evoke the reflection of tree branches on water while also breaking up the underlying patterns in composition. It is simultaneously a static vertical face of a print and flattening out like the surface of a pond.
