Week 10: Composition II

Assignments: Organic and Non-organic Compositions

Creating Compositions.

Specifications

Subject matter: Organic and non-organic shapes.

  • Assignment 2 Step 2: Choose one of your thumbnails and draw, from life, a 9"x12" organic composition—do not take a photo and copy it. Finish the lines using Micron pens. Do not use other media (charcoal and graphite). Use all three of your Micron pens for line/weight variation, i.e. use the 08 for thicker lines, not just to fill in values. Take a photo of your still-life and submit it with your drawing so that your instructor can compare proportions, etc. Submit your work as usual. (15 points)

Deadlines

Post completed drawings by Monday 11:55 PM: Scan and submit your completed drawings to the discussion board. I will provide feedback and a grade for each of your drawings. I will be using the following questions to help grade your drawings:

  • Are the sizes and placements pleasing?

  • Do the drawings adequately represent dominant/subordinant, golden rectangle, variation, harmony, unity, positive and negative space, shape, overlapping, and other design elements?

  • How is the line quality?

Post responses to your group members by Tuesday 11:55 PM: Comment on your group members composition works.
