Project II Positive negative reversal Black and White

Project II Positive negative reversal Black and White collage

What are the issues with these collage? • The two composition are not mounted as one • The new composition does not reads as one (the edges flow from one side to the other) • There are no composite shapes

Project Guidelines • In a rectangular frame shape (8 X 10 inches), using black paper and white paper, cut out at least seven black shapes (solid or linear) and arrange them on a white background. These shapes may be either rectilinear or curved. • Emphasize the black shapes as the positive shapes. The linear and/or solid shapes may be repeated and their edges lines up to create a pattern rhythm or pictorial unity. • Actively involve the edges of the composition. When you are most satisfied with the arrangement, glue the pieces. • Reverse the shapes of part A. The white shapes will become the positive and black paper will be the background. • Part A and B will be mounted as one total composition. • Both compositions are effective and the shapes activate the negative space • The two compositions have to mirror each other • The work needs to include composite shapes • The two parts A and B are mounted as one total composition The new composition, from mounting A and B together, is strong, thoughtful and reads as one (the edges flow from one side to the other) • The edges of the positive shapes have specific details and they have to be carefully glued. • The work should always be clean, well presented and wellcrafted • The student has to maximize use of the page; the compositons are thoughtfully cropped on minimum three sides • The project (part A and B) has to be at least 16”X 20” • The two parts will be mounted on a larger board, thus providing a border around the two compositions
