Assignment #2

#2       Compositional Movements 2 (due Sept 11):

            Purpose: Create an understanding of visual movement.

Part 1:  On drawing paper or in your sketchbook, determine three paths that will move your eye around the format.  Using those three pathways, create a design using only geometric shapes (you can invent hybrid geometric shapes if you desire).   You can use the same shapes or different ones for each pathway.   Each pathway will have a different value, black, white and gray.  Determine these in your drawings.  Create a visually interesting piece of work.

Think about the negative space.  Do you need it to be another tone?  If so, use two different grays in your design.

Part 2:  On illustration board, recreate your planned composition.  Paint your three pathways with acrylic paint, white, black and gray. 

Part 3:  Mount your board on black mat board with ¼ inch border.
