Grid Problems # 2&3

• Cover two 18”x24” paper supports with tinted gesso.
• One with a cool color
• One with a warm color
• Create a grid on each support using your mathematical guide.
• Transfer the information from each grid square of your photo to its corresponding square on each page using only thin washes of black, white, and your chosen hue.
• You may use one of two approaches:
• Fill each square entirely with one color (as you did the first two problems).
• Transfer a representation of all the various values, shapes, and lines in each grid square, enlarging it for the full sized composition.
