FINAL PROJECT: Decorative Space

Image
Students will be working on their final projects all this week.  The objective is to create an image of shallow depth, a more decorative use of space, composed of multiple formats. These formats will be occupied by simple shapes filled with patterns and textures. Here are some examples from previous semesters for reference.
