1. Create
a library of 20 organic, 20 geometric shapes and 10 symbolic shapes.
2. Divide
your sketchbook page into 4 boxes by dividing it into fours.
3. Create
four interesting compositions using the shapes in your library and
any new shapes you would like to create. You must use at least 25
shapes. 10 minimum organic and geometric and 5 minimum symbolic
shapes. You must follow the compositional rules provided below.
Remember to break up the background by using large shapes to make
the background as interesting as the foreground. Becareful your
symbolic shapes do not create a scene. I wish to see a composition
that is not distracted by a picture scene.
4. The
teacher will help you choose the best composition and initial the
chosen design.
5. Color
the composition using the colors shown below. You should create
a balance of colors by creating triangular arangements of colors.
The teacher will help you with your selections and approve your
color study.
6. Recreate
your composition on a large white sheet of paper using pencil. Do
this lightly so that you can easily make changes.
7. Take
tracing paper and trace the individual shapes one by one and transfer
the shapes to the appropriate colored construction paper. Then cut
them out and flip them over onto the colored background paper selection.
8. Remember
that you can cut out the larger shapes first and then cut out the
smaller shapes to lay on top so not to have any strange gaps in
between.
9. Finally
once everything is cut out and arranged, glue the shapes down using
either white glue or a glue stick. The white glue may have a tendancy
to wrinkle the page if to much is used and the glue sticks are not
nearly as permenant.
