Week 9

Tuesday 10/22: Patterns and Grids Project (8x10)
  • Choose one or more geometric shapes.
  • Choose a color palate. You will be using acrylic paint, and you may mix them. (Remember that cool low intensity colors tend to recede into space, and while warm, high intensity colors tend to advance into space.)
  • Create a composition that forms a pattern comprised of the geometric shapes and specific color pallet to practice the creation of containment, increase continuity, strengthen proximity, and encourage closure. 
  • Research The Quilts of Gee's Bend for inspiration.

  

Thursday 10/24: Studio ~ Patterns and Grids
Homework:
Read Mary Stewart's Launching the Imagination: CH3 Section on Unity and Variety (pp. 74-87)
  • Research Piet Mondrian and Alex Calder for Thursday's in-class assignment below. Print out two of your favorite compositions (in color if possible) and bring with you to class. You may also show me on your phone or on your laptop if you do not have access to a printer.
  • Make THREE 8X10 SKETCHES (Pencil) for Thursday's in-class assignment.
