Kunst

Dear readers,

 

Today I started with the new assignment of Jane Davies, which is all about shapes.

The assignment is the following:

 

  • Make ten drawings exploring shape as a primary element.  Here are a few suggestions
    and considerations, but feel free to create your own guidelines:
  • Within one piece, vary the size of the shapes.
  • Within one piece vary the techniques used to make the shapes.
  • Try doing some using minimal color.
  • Try some with only two or three shapes.
  • Try one or two that are packed with shapes
  • If you are also using line, make sure that it does not dominate the piece.
  • If you are using pattern, make it secondary to shape as an element.
  • You do not have to use all the techniques

 

I started with two out of ten. I drew shapes, coloured them with liquid acrylic, and then used negative shape by spraypainting white over it (with a mask).

 

 

Bye!

Simone

    Simone, great fun to see that you’ve already started this week’s assignment! I haven’t even had a chance to watch the videos yet. I like your interpretations! I’m enjoying the contrast of strong shapes and many subtleties.
