In this example, we are focusing at the red figure. In the red figure we can see 2 things, the first is a stick figure and the second is what resembles a chinese character. For the purpose of this assignment we are going to focus on the stick figure. The stick figure is interpreted as moving/in-motion. The reason we see that it's in motion is because the figure is not standing still with arms to the side. If we look at what is recognized as legs, we can tell that one leg is pulled back and one leg appears to be pushed out. This kind of composition for the human body is recognized as a person's legs in the motion of running. Now if we focus at the arms of the stick figure, they are stretched out. To put it all together, this person has arms stretched out and legs that are recognized as running. With previous knowledge that this is a logo for the Olympics, we can interpret that the stick figure either just won an trophy or is running across the finishing line. These are the 2 common scenario which we see the same type of motion presented here in the logo with the stick figure.
Example 2: "Brownian motion"
If you focus on this example, you can see the blue particles moving in circular directions. The reason that they are moving is because of the high contrast in colors. Because the colors are in contrast and that each particle is bordered with half white and half black, our eyes keep switching between specific cones that creates this illusion of motion. If we look carefully, we can see that the image is actually still. However, if we keep moving our heads/focus point for our eyes we can see the motion again and watch the particles turn. The reason is because each time we move our focus point, the contrast creates another illusion. So as long as we keep moving moving our focus point, the particles will continue to move as our eyes adjust to the static image.
