1. The first composition is fairly balanced with a clear focused center. It is a closed composition, utilizes the entire space (although slightly heavy towards the right) and generally produced a mirrored composition.
2. The second composition is wholly balanced, with an open composition and very little white space. The horizontal rectangle is nearly invisible but gives the allusion of another shape and opens up the shapes on the right hand side of the composition.
3. Closed composition, but with a little too much white space on the bottom left hand side. Wholly balanced, especially with the contrasting effects of lack and excess.
4. Open composition. The displaced circle acts as an interesting focal point, and contrasts nicely with the otherwise chaotic figures on the right -- giving the illusion of movement.
This blog has been created as a space to post and critique project examples from our class. ART 111 "Introduction to the Studio" is a beginning level studio course designed to introduce and ground students in core principles of art making in a rigorous, hands on studio. These principles will be taught through a series of practical exercises using traditional and digital tools. Emphasis will be placed on developing skills, knowledge of materials, methods of observation and translation, collaboration, discussion, and creative discipline.
