PROJECT 1:  REPETITION - legato, staccato
Problem:  Make two compositions using abstract SHAPES to depict:
1. repetition with a legato sensibility
2. repetition with a staccato sensibility

PROJECT 2:  RHYTHM - ALBUM COVER
Problem:  Design an album cover using abstract shapes along with the principles of Rhythm/Repetition to create unity.
1. Choose music
2. Draw several thumbnail sketches
3. Draw and paint cover design

Parameters:  Shapes can have the illusion of space (in the lecture I discussed several ways of doing this: overlapping shapes, size (larger for closer), placement (lowe for closer), intersecting shapes, converging lines, atmospheric perspective)

Materials:  Drawing journal for thumbnail work; Acrylic paint (black & white), Illustration board cut into two pieces. See below:

repetition legato   repetition staccato

this side is 15 x 15" with 1 1/2" borders (album cover)

total size: 15 x 20"

 

CRITERIA - to be discussed during the critique:

1. Issues of Repetition and Rhythm will be discussed
   
2. Complexity of composition (that it is interesting)
3. Presentation
