Drawing: Kandinsky and Shapes!
Goals:
- 1.2Ac: Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices to plan works of art and design.

Which COMPOSITION idea are you sticking to? Are you going with the SIMPLE (Melodic) or COMPLEX (Symphonic) idea? Explain how you are doing this.
Reflection / Evaluation: What is the DOMINANT SHAPE / FORM / COLOR you are using in the work? How is this HELPING?
