Free Choice Composition
....with a focus on Space, Value, Form and Texture.
Using the subject matter of your choice, compose a work of art which incorporates all the elements of art, excluding colour. Pay particular attention to value form and texture. Use the principles of design, known as “space” in your composition. Space is created by using linear and/ or atmospheric perspective, placement and the size of the objects on the page.
When planning your composition, consider the purpose and/ or mood you choose to share with your audience. Create a mood consistent with your purpose.
Use a pencil for you composition. Experiment with pressure and marks on the page! It is exciting to see what a pencil can do!
