Assignment 4
Asymmetrical collaged composition.
Due Oct 16
Purpose:
To create an asymmetrical composition with strong unity using tension,
compression and isolation to create a focal point as well as move your eyes
around the composition.
Part.
1: Choose a theme: an object, people, animals, etc. These could be from magazines or drawn and
repeated through photocopying. They
should have a range of values. Use no
color or keep color to a minimum.
Keep
in mind this is a design not a story or a picture in the traditional sense.
Arrange
your composition before you get started.
It should have good asymmetrical balance and should use value to create
unity through all the layers of space (figure ground reversal). It should have an integrated focal point and
use the tension and compression of objects to create an interesting design.
Consider
the background as part of the design.
Shapes of solid tones or texture can be applied to the background.
Part
2: Using cut paper create your design
being careful with the craftsmanship of cutting and gluing.
