Our first exercise was to create 3 abstract compositions using only one color. For the first one my main focus was to create a composition using mainly line, with a few geometric shapes to help fill negative space and to create balance. The second one I wanted to throw a few more organic shapes in as well, along with line to create movement throughout the piece along with achieving a sense of balance, which i felt worked pretty well. The design was a little more interesting than the first one so i was able to play with shape more and focus less on the positive and negative space. For the third design i chose to try and loosen up a little bit, and free handed a pretty loose design compared to my normal style. While its balanced, its really not an interesting design, but it helped me to try and remember to use some of those components when called for. Overall I feel the second design is probably my favorite, and most successful, however the first one is pretty close as well. I feel they both work very well.
