Good afternoon!
Busy day for our community. School is coming up *fast*. Hope everyone is keeping calm as possible through it.
Small skill start-
Today, we talked about composition. In essence, it’s just how the sum of the parts makes the whole, but that’s really broad. I showed how you can use two shapes and manipulate they are arranged to tell different stories or intimate movement. Just two shapes. No color, no facial expressions.
I suggested that we keep the idea of what we want to say with our painting even before we put color on the page. Making sure our drawing offers a whole story or at least implying movement. Starfox 64 vs Space Invaders.
Painting together-
Today, we painted space aliens. These are ours.
Our verse for today is Psalm 108:8 Be exalted, Oh God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
At home practice-
A really easy way to practice composition is to take three objects, either on paper or in person, and try to find how many different ways you can arrange them or what you can do to draw the eye from one section to another of your space. Try it with circles, blocks, books, cans… whatever you want. Three objects, many compositions.
