Sta.sh
Does it have rhythm? Yes, slow long brushstrokes to short staccato brush strokes. In terms of placement of subjects, I still haven't figured out how to see rhythm.
Does it have emphasis? I can tell the emphasis is meant to be the figure in the middle. Secondary the jellyfish, then sea creatures on the clothes being tertiary focus.
Does it have variety? Yes. There is a huge variety of line work and objects.
Economy? Yes,minimal amount, but it is not utilized to support the emphasis.
Repetition? Yes. Not just in the organic objects but also in the line work.
Balance? I'd be inclined to say no. I think because of the placement of the negative space at the right side. It's kinda not in proportion to the whole. If it were done on purpose then good on ya.
Movement (how is it set up that the eye moves over the pic?)? Compared to your 'Meringue' piece. It's not obvious. There is certainly movement in the objects. After staring it for a long time it feels like it's meant to lead diagonal but the space created at the right cuts it off. Or maybe into the centre?? I'm not sure of this one.
Unity? I think yes. Despite that unity is only created if every element of the design principle is fulfilled. But it feels almost unified.
What I think I would have like to have seen is solid areas of white contrasting with the negative space, and the black fishes, also creating a stronger emphasis on the figure, as the tonal value of the jelly fish and brush strokes on the figure are so similar. Even if it were meant to imply the figure is a jelly fish.
