ABSTRACT COMPOSITIONS COMPOSITION I:

The objective of this composition exercise was to create an understanding of design logic, abstraction, layout, composition and graphic representation. A view of a transitional space in a college campus has been selected. The view then was studied by visualizing a wide range of possible shapes. The final composition included a 12� x 12� Figure/Figure-Ground composition and a 3D Bas relief composition, which includes five layers of 2 ply Strathmore to achieve a good sense of depth.

PLANAR COMPOSITION





EMOTIONAL EXPRESSIONS ANTICIPATION: “Anticipation of movement, through muscular innervation and memory, by its retention of nerve impulse images, extend the present to the limit of a second or so.� -John Desmond Bernal

This was a five day project where I used 5 silver sode cans to represent progression in emotion. In my case, the emotion was anticipation. After indepth research and expermentation, I found out that using curled curves would represent anticipation. The overall similarity in the shapes of the curles represents the expectations that come with anticipation, however the unpredictable direction of them gives the anxiety and uncertanty that comes with anticipation.



FINAL COMPOSITION



VETRICAL CONSTRACT ANTICIPATION: ANTICIPATION IS A VIRUS, RESILIENT AND HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS. THE UNPRECEDENTED SHIFT OF DIRECTION CREATES UNCERTAINTY, A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE UNPREDICTABLE COURSE A VIRUS CAN TAKE.

This project is a successor to the “Emotional Expresstion” composition. Using the human condition of anticipation to preseive a form. Other parameters to consider in this three weeks project is to keep structure in mind. The form of a triangle represents the resilience of the human condition.
