2-D design Alternate Project
Repetition and Positive Negative Space
Objective:
Work with unifying principles of continuation,
repetition, proximity, balance, rhythm, and negative space
Materials:
Pencils,
eraser, ruler, 2 sheets of white Bristol board, variety of black sharpies,
micron pens, black ink.
Part 1
Panel one:
Pick in object that is of interest to you. Create
a silhouette or contour of the object and make a template of this shape. Make a grid of 12 boxes that are 2”X2” each
and fill the grid by repeating your shape in a “checkered” pattern using
positive negative space reversal.
Part 2
Panel
two:
Silhouette an object that occupies both
positive and negative space. Trace the silhouette multiple times having them
overlap. Using pen and marker, fill in only
the areas of the silhouette that does not over lap. Leave the over lapped areas white. (at least 10” x 12”) The composition of this work should be an a-focal
field.
Panels
three and four:
Select
a second representational shape that has a relationship to your first chosen
shape that you made the
template of. Create two compositions
(10”X12”) with a contour representation
of this object.
