COMPOSITION: Parts of the Puzzle (cont.)

Lukas Lohden Students finished up their compositional studies on Thursday. Lukas' arrangement above has employed similarity and repetition allowing the "eye" to move from one shape to an entirely different type of shape. Notice in the middle left piece how we are pushed from the wavy, red lines to the red rectangle. Remember, similarity works through line, value, shape, color and texture. Elements just need to share one likeness in order to relate. He has also established a strong rhythm through many of the compositions by cropping the crescent shape and multiplying it creating a ripple effect seen in the bottom left. All in all, a very solid display and all the pieces stand well together.

LINE AND THE ILLUSION OF DEPTH

Briana Malia Last Thursday the class made line drawings using horizontal parallel lines. The objective was to create a 4 to 5 layered space employing the "Distal Cues." Briana's drawing is stabilized with a grid foundation in the background allowing the circular forms to float in space over the top. Malia's drawing exhibits a much tighter space. The edges of the forms are accentuated by drawing attention to the negative space between the shapes. In addition, the space illustrates a strong sense of light.

VALUE PATTERNS: Flat or 2-D Space

Alex Austyn This week we began exploring Value . Drawing from a still life, the class made continuous line drawings creating compositions of enclosed positive and negative areas. These shapes were then filled with "closed values" of black, white and two shades of gray. The objective was to establish a rhythm and movement through similarity of value and shape.
