Week 1

Like we did in class, you are to set up a composition of forms that is BALANCED!
Like the triangles, choose two recognizable forms (bicylces, elephants, superheroes, etc.), another recognizable form, and a made-up form--all of which might be at different scales--and arrange them in a composition that is balanced using pencil.  You are also to make each form a specific value and/or texture in such a way as to keep things balanced.  In addition to that, you are to choose a natural looking texture or pattern to put on the ground upon which the objects are placed .  Your composition should fill your paper to all four edges.
Remember, you are essentially repeating the exercise that we did in class, only with more complicated objects and textures.  Have fun and good luck.

As I said I would do in class, here is a link to the artisanal pencil sharpener--the internet's foremost expert on sharpening pencils.  https://vimeo.com/60718161

Note that there is some profanity in the video (three words), so if that is a problem don't watch it.   Also, here is a link to his website: http://www.artisanalpencilsharpening.com/index.html
