PROJECT 1: LINE-FOUR SQUARES. Due 8/25- Samimy, 8/26- Lambert

Project Description

Divide one 9 inch x 12 inch Bristol board into four quadrants. Using only line, create 4 non-representational compositions that suggest different textures. The compositions should be abstract (not realistic). You can combine different types of line to create the designs. Think about line weight (fine/medium/thick), pattern, scale (large/small), and direction (horizontal/vertical/diagonal). 

The compositions should be well thought out. Think about the way your eye moves across the drawing. What direction does your eye move? What speed?

Be sure that each of your four individual compositions are unified, and that they look cohesive. All four should be distinct (there should be variation between them).

Lastly, be sure to use good craftsmanship. The lines should be clean, with no smudges, or smears. Fluid lines, nothing unintentionally choppy. This is clean, graphic, work.
