Art 1: Construction Paper Collage notes/assignment

Here's the notes/assignment that we did on 8/27 & 8/28 for those who missed class:

Notes: Compositional Strategies (ways to make a good composition):

1.Limit the types of shapes and lines.

2.Use a direction: vertical, horizontal, diagonal, curved.

3.Repeat, but vary, the shapes and lines.

4.Use a color scheme

5. Repeat a texture or pattern.

6. Show a progression in size, shape or space.

7. Balance the weights of the shapes and lines.

8. Overlap shapes and lines.  

Collage Assignment (using Construction Paper):

•Use ALL of the compositional strategies to create 1 collage.

•Use at least 30 cut pieces of construction paper.

•Use only geometric shapes (squares, triangles, rectangles, circles, etc. No hearts, stars etc. )

•Draw your design/Arrange your pieces before you glue them down.

•Be neat. Cut straight and only use a little bit of glue.
