Composition and Organization by David Matthews

Using the parts and pieces from your found object create the following 2-dimensional compositions on a 18" X 24" piece of white illustration or foam core board. (DO NOT GLUE OR ATTACH THE PIECES TO THE BOARD)

Each composition should effectively and clearly communicate the ideas listed below. Each composition should be creative and provide a synthesized relationship between the parts. The overall effect of the compositions should

include a Gestalt relationship. All compositions should have presence and significance relative to the topics in the course.

Use Form, Space and Order by Ching to further understand the above concepts. Compose your work on the illustration board. Using the copy stand or studio lights and your digital camera photograph each composition. Attach the camera to the copy stand or tripod and photograph your work from directly above.

All photographs should be cropped and well composed.
