Assignment 1, Exercise 1 Assignment 1: Design 6 basic shape compositions to investigate dynamic vs static composition
Variables to focus on when designing: scale shifts, placement of shapes, edge and framing, and composite shapes
Variables to focus on when designing: scale shifts, placement of shapes, edge and framing, and composite shapes

Project 2, Exercise 1: Create linear Studies using my own photographed source imagery create 3 inked studies incorporating various, dynamic, and graphic line qualities
Ink on Bristol ground
4 x 5"
Project 2, Exercise 2: Create a notan that is 50/50 inked design
Ink on Bristol ground
4 x 4"
Project 2: Create an equivocal space design from the transparent, linear design. Using ink, create a final concept of 50/50 composition.

Project 3: The objective of this project was to create a figure ground reversal through developing a pattern and filling the negative spaces with varying values and a visual texture
Cut paper

Project 6, Exercise 1: Create 2 designs that incorporate past shapes that develop the illusion of space
Each 8 x 10"
