VALUE: Rhythm and Repetition

Dennis

Ismena

Sam
Today was the last class session for working on the "Rhythm and Repetition" project. The three drawings above have distinctive characteristics. Dennis' drawing illustrates three-dimensional shapes packed into the space. In addition, he has included a number of textural areas. Ismena's drawing has a whirling pattern of pinwheel like shapes as well as a stacked quality of rectangular elements. Sam's drawing illustrates an overall pattern of six values with the addition of larger clusters forming oval shapes hovering within the mass.

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.

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.
