Composition is the foundation of image making. It is the spatial relationship between all of the parts in an image. Whether a drawing, a painting, a sculpture, a photograph, a video, or an installation, how a thing is composed determines its look, its feel, and its meaning. Compositional variation, like musical tunes, is limitless. 101 Things to Learn in Art School Kit White © 2011 Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Kit White
Stained Glass: Foil and then Homework
10.1Ac: Utilize inquiry methods of observation, research, and experimentation to explore unfamiliar subjects through art-making.
First day in the studio this week to cut the glass. Today we learn to FOIL the work so we can move along in the process. What have you been struggling with so far? Open your handbook to page 11 so we can begin to reflect.
