First Formgiving Assignment




Our first assignment was to render three pairs of opposite forms in marker. The first one here is Secular vs Sacred - contrasting an earthbound, impure, grid-like form with one that is more aspirational, symmetric, and stellated. Next is Emotional vs Rational, which was my least successful one during the class critique. I saw this pair as demonstrating two ways of approaching the problem of spanning from one spot to another - the rational arch vs an intuitive, expressive, emotional leap. And my last one is Open vs Closed.

How odd. I was taken with the middle images, particularily the "emotional" one. A beautiful swirl, in an of itself, it does have that emotional blurb on the end which I found attractive.
