Hi Everyone,

I’ve put the info for the next project below. Remember to email your last project to me if you have not already sent it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Composition and Design

The videos below cover the topics that you will need to write about for the essay assignment. The essay will not be due until the last day of our class, which is Thursday, June 5th

The essay project involves 2 sections: a writing section and a drawing section portion

You should complete the drawing study first, as it is designed to make the writing much easier.

Watch the lecture video below on Composition and Design and read the handout on composition before beginning the drawing study.

You may need to review the video multiple times as well as read the handout a few times.

Even though the completed essay/drawing study project is not due until the last day, you will still need to begin the drawing study this week and email your progress this week so that I can give you feedback.

Drawing Study- Choose 1 image from the Master Composition link below and complete three small composition studies of that image. See the demo video for the specific layout and format of the composition drawing studies.

REMEMBER THIS IS A COMPOSITION STUDY, NOT A DIRECT COPY DRAWING

Essay- Due to the increased stress of our current situation I have decided to shorten the minimum length of the essay to 3 pages (typed, double spaced) However, you can go beyond 3 pages if you want.

Write an essay on how the elements and principles of design are working in the image that you used for the composition drawing. Focus on how the elements and principles are used and how they influence each other in the image. Do not write the definitions of the elements and principles in the essay, assume the reader knows the definitions of them but does not know how the principles and elements are being used by the image. Explain to the reader how they are used and how they affect each other in the image.

DO NOT WRITE ABOUT THE HISTORY, STORY OR BIO OF THE ARTIST. THIS IS NOT A HISTORY ESSAY. IT IS AN ANALYTICAL ESSAY OF THE COMPOSITION OF THE IMAGE YOU SELECTED.

Let me know if you have any questions.
