Contrast
This piece strongly shows the contrast aspect of CRAP. This can be seen from light blue sky at the top contrasted with the extremely dark and black clouds in the middle, and then again with the red and bright yellow sunlight at the bottom (which is sandwiched with more darkness by the dark land). This bright-dark-bright-dark sandwich demonstrates strong contrast. Although this piece strongly shows contrast it lacks much of the other CRAP aspects along with colour.
Repetition
This piece demonstrates the repetition aspect of CRAP. As can be seen, there is a strong sense of repetition in the bronze mailboxes that seem to go on to infinity. This is a great example of repetition as the colour is not only the same but the design of the bronze boxes is identical as well. The only thing that is not repeated are the mailbox numbers. This piece use good alignment and proximity properties of CRAP as well as the boxes are aligned perfectly and the proximity of shape and lines are seen throughout. There is not much contrast in this picture.
Alignment
This picture demonstrates the alignment portion of CRAP. As you can see, the buildings are perfectly aligned in many ways. Not only are their shapes aligned, but the lines criss-crossing from their windows are aligned in parallel and perpendicular fashion! This creates a smooth dynamic for viewing the picture. This piece also uses good colour balance, contrast, fair repetition, and proximity.
Proximity
This artwork uses the proximity aspect of CRAP. This can be seen with the proximity of the rocks themselves, the shapes of the rocks (mostly oval), the designs of the rocks (they are transitioned well and very close to each other), and the different balances of colour (the dark and light blue are pushed together to make a smooth mix in their proximity). This picture also uses good contrast (dark, light blue, and black background) and alignment!
