  In this module project, you will explore each exercise in the sequential order presented below emphasizing the evolution of compositional play and translation of media interpretation.

   

  Ex. 1 - Photograph and curate a collection of 30 patterns and texture that you observe around you.

  Evaluation Criteria: Exploration of pattern, texture, and shadow; recognize abstract compositions, curation of quality subject representation through documentation

   

  Ex. 2 - Inspired by the documented patterns and textures from Ex. 1, identify 20 photographs and translate each into 1”x1.5” drawings using only black pen and a range of single-weight lines.

  Evaluation Criteria: Depth of investigation, quality of translation of pattern and texture representation, understanding and quality of line type, weight, and value

   

  Ex. 3 - Choose 10 of your 1”x1.5” drawings to reimagine each as a 3”x 3” drawing using black pen engaging a range of single-weight lines.

  Evaluation Criteria: Selected patterns and textures have evolved revealing developed compositions that are creative and original, selected patterns and textures meet the enlarged scale, quality of translation through quality and experimentation of mark making that includes line type, weight, and value

   

  Ex. 4 - Identify five Ex. 3 3”x3” drawings and translate into five black, white, and grayscale collages addressing the following ten design principles. Without repeating, assign two principles per collage: Hierarchy, Rhythm, Emphasis, Variety, Unity, Pattern, Proportion, Movement, Repetition, and Balance.

  Evaluation Criteria: Understanding and representation of all 10 design principles, the inventiveness of translation from drawing to collage, attention to surface and texture, understanding of figure-ground relationships, composition, material use and craft

   

  Ex. 5 - Selecting one or more Ex. 4 collages, develop a 10”x10” mixed media composition that intentionally evolves the patterns and/or textures that reside within the selected collages to the enlarged format.

  Evaluation Criteria: Development and techniques of mixed media showcasing quality of line and shape type, weight, and value, quality of evolution and scale shift of the composition, understanding of figure-ground relationships, and craft and care of development of the final composition
