Due March 24 for morning class
March 25 for evening class
You are to design a painting that emphasizes the overall
shape of the image. In the manner of a
logo, sticker design, or family coat-of-arms, the painting must not be composed
on a rectangle. Instead, though the
painting will probably be made on a rectangular canvas or similar, it must be
composed within its own irregular silhouette.
The subject and scale is up to you.
The negative space around the irregular shape of the design may be the
raw white color of the gessoed canvas.
Though I’m using the word “logo” as an example of the
self-contained nature of the image, I do not want you to make shape or the
image inside as simple as a logo. I’m
looking for something complex enough to be interesting with some density and
detail inside. A logo is designed to be
instantly recognizable and readable, not necessarily very interesting. Your painting is still a PAINTING! Embrace the paint, complex color
relationships, and as much detail (or density) as needed. Have fun with it! Feel free to reference branding or pop
culture, but make your painting feel unique and complex, not mass
produced. Good luck!
