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










Thanks!
Looking forward to see yours!

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.
