Course Outline

Line drawings from still-life composition:
- Non-spatial lineal organization
- Spatial description of line as movement in space
Restricted value (tone) definition of shapes taken from still life (volume)
Redistribution of value (tone) relationships
Static composition: close value, stable shapes
Dynamic composition: high contrast value, active shapes
Composition with static and dynamic balance
Composition with pattern versus mass relationships
Equivocal shapes composition
