Project 02: Line - Organic / Geometric Compositions


Project Description
Create 2 non-representational (abstract = NOT RECOGNIZABLE objects in the drawing) line compositions that suggest variety in line, size, to create emphasis/contrast/heirachy. You must combine different types of line weights and density in lines to create successful designs but both compositions should be unique, one organic and one geometric. Be bold, risky and experimental! 

Due Dates (Critiques)

Mon/Wed, beginning of class:      Wednesday, September, 6th. (9/4-Labor Day)
Tues/Thurs, beginning of  class:   Tuesday, September 5 th. 

Materials

• Black mechanical pen - Various weights (Ultra Fine PointFine Point)
• White Bristol 9x12” paper (2 papers)  

Process

• Start by developing thumbnails with pencil in your sketchbook, at least 3 sketches
  for each composition.
• review ideas with your teacher; select the best direction.
• Create a series of 2 unique line compositions from your sketchbook thumbnails.


The two compositions should be well thought out. Think about the way your eye moves across the drawing. What direction does your eye move? What speed? Where are the focal points/points of interest. Be aware of framing, cropping, layout, positive/negative use, aesthetics. 

Be sure that each of your compositions are unified, Variety in line and shape to create contrast and emphasis... movement in composition not monotonous and static. Must be visually cohesive.

Lastly, be sure to use good craftsmanship. lines should be clean, varied line weights (think thin, medium, thicker, density, etc…) with no smudges, no sketched lines. Fluid lines, nothing unintentionally choppy. This is clean, graphic, work. See work below as reference. RESEARCH…
