Yesterday the class began a series of six compositional studies using the same line and shapes elements and colors for each image. The objective is to see how many variations can be achieved. Students are trying to balance the space by applying the compositional rule of: one large shape, a few medium shapes and one or more small shapes as well as five of the six distal cues: location, diagonals, overlap, size, value (the last and not included atmospheric perspective).

| Emily |
Emily's composition exhibits a left/ right movement. Nice how the circle passes through the lines. She has established triangulation between the "u" shapes as well as the color black. The only fault with this composition is that she has seven positive shapes where the rules state "no more than six are allowed."
 |
| Jose |
Jose has done a great job of creating an interesting negative (blue) shape by "cropping" many of the positive shapes. Observe the multiple rhythms in orange, yellow and black.
 |
| Nick |
Nick too has created multiple rhythms with orange, black and red. In addition, he has effectively used overlap and "grouping" in the lower left.
 |
| Odalis |
Odalis has presented a somewhat threatening scenario. The pointed lines are obstructive and create tension blocking the joining of the circle and square. Furthermore, they have divided the background resulting in an interesting negative area in black.
