Yesterday the class completed work on the "List" drawings. Georgia has created a very well designed composition with strong attention to the design principles of similarity and repetition. By changing  scale she has crammed in the objects from the list and more. In addition, the colors are rich and perfectly suited to the festive, undersea imagery.
Kayla, too, has wisely chosen her colors. The slightly faded complementary colors of yellow and violet are reminiscent of an old map adding to the adventurous theme. The real strength of her composition is the meandering serpent-like body of the dragon.
Another strong composition with great attention to the distal ques throughout the space is Luke's drawing. The bold, graphic style is very complementary to the dark and fantastic narrative. The image is rich with mark-making addressing light, form and texture.
Lyric has created a puzzle-like composition where each object appears to lock into place leaving very little empty space. Again it is her attention to the principles of design as well as scale change, overlap and actual as well as implied diagonals that makes her composition so balanced and strong. In addition, the modest drawing style of line and soft tonalities is very complementary to the lotus-like gesture of the figure.
