Project 02: Line - Organic / Geometric Compositions


Project Description
Create 2 non-representational (abstract = NOT RECOGNIZABLE objects in the drawing) dynamic line compositions that suggest texture, movement, using a variety of line weights. You can combine different types of line to create the designs but both compositions should be unique, one organic and one geometric.

Due Dates (Critiques)

Mon/Wed, beginning of class:      Monday, September, 9th. 

Tues/Thurs, beginning of  class:   Tuesday, September 10th. 

Materials

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

Process
• Start doing thumbnails with pencil in your sketchbook, at least 4 sketches for each
   composition.
• review ideas with your teacher; select the best pieces.
• 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. Think of heirarchy, Emphasis, focal areas, unity, cohesive design, flow. What direction does your eye move? What speed? Where are the focal points/points of interest. Be aware of framing, cropping, layout, aesthetics. 

Be sure that each of your compositions are unified, and  look 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…. DOIN UR MOM DOIN DOIN UR MOM
