VALUE: Rhythm and Repetition

James Christenson
Last Friday we began our investigation of the art element VALUE. The objective was to create a continuous field composition applying values to the shapes according to the demands of the design. Each student started with 2 to 3 stencils that were traced to overlap and fill the page creating large and small shapes. Lines were then erased, added and moved to strengthen the composition. Although Jame's drawing is unfinished, you can see that he has already begun to balance the composition by applying similar tonalities across the paper. This will ensure a more balanced composition rather than if he had just started working across the paper left to right.

*The class will next Friday's morning session to complete these drawings.
