Collage Assignment: Repetition & Rhythm

Due: Monday, February 20

Assignment:
  1. Organize a sheet of 18”x24” paper by creating a 1” border on all four sides.
  2. Within this new picture plane, design a composition that utilizes repetition and rhythm to guide the viewer’s eye around the composition.
  3. Using cut and pasted greyscale paper, construct your composition using organic and/or geometric shapes and lines.
  4. This time, I don’t mind if some of your shapes are representational, but don’t lean so heavily on representation that you ignore your exploration of rhythm.
  5. Assignment (Emphasis & Rhythm/Repetition) due:  Monday, February 20.

Notebook:
  • Research the obsessive work of Yayoi Kusama.  Place your notes, images, and any articles into the notebook.
Sketchbook:
  1. Create at least 3 possible compositions in the sketchbook BEFORE beginning work on the full-sized collage.  You may use the materials of your choice for these sketches (pencil, charcoal, ink, paint, collage, etc.).
  2. Choose the composition you’ll use for the assignment and write some notes about WHY you chose it.
  3. Find at least 3 images by artists who use repetition and rhythm to create movement in their work.  Insert images into your sketchbook and write and draw over the images to explain how you see that artist using repetition and/or rhythm.  No more than TWO of them may be artists mentioned in class today.
  4. Choose one image and do a master study of it.
Remember that the notebook and sketchbook are turned in with every assignment.
