NOTAN: Representation and Distortion

Nesho Dimov

Angel Salinas

Students continued with part two of the Compositional Compartments project.  The problem of part two was to draw a tool or other object and reduce it to a silhouette.  In the five rectangles from part one, students placed the representational silhouette and four evolving distortions of the silhouette.  The objective again was to create Notan; harmonious balance between light and dark, positive and negative.
Students also began work on The Parts of the Puzzle project.  First choose a curvilinear shape, one line, and a rectilinear shape.  These will be used in four compositions. Pics to come.
