Shape & Space | T 10/02 | F 10/03
This week we will continue to abstract a design's Degree of Representation by investing on discovering Shape & Space, an Element of Design, and paying attention to the Principles of Organization Balance, Movement and Variety.
Due for this Class
This is an open book, unlimited time and do as many attempts as you like during this week.
The only catch is that you need to have a score of 85% or more to get credit for the quiz.

The topics are:
. Components of Art
. Degrees of Representation
. Creativity
. Critique
. Elements of Design
. Line
Principle of Organization: Movement
After researching what Movement in design is, search the internet for an artwork that clearly has a strong sense of Movement.
Post the image to Blackboard Discussion Board under the topic Research: Movement
Write how the movement in the artwork was accomplished. Here are some possibilities:
. Changes in direction.
. Changes in darkness or lightness.
. Similar shapes connected with each other.
. Overlapping elements.
