Grids - Jane Davies Compostion Class

 

I had lots of fun lesson working on GRIDS... since I kind of lean toward grids.. squares, rectangles, building, windows, etc.  Guess the structure of my personality is shinning through.

Here are some of the results of the exercise:

  One lesson was to paint the paper first then add grids to the this.  Here I am kind of letting go a bit.

 Really breaking out...... kind of.

 Back to structured grid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I like the black and white one.. and the colors of the last one.. but in general I see no masterpieces which of course was not the purpose of the lesson... I do see how I restrict myself and have a hard time creating out of the box...However I did play and enjoyed the process which was the purpose of the lesson...   Perhaps to loosen up a bit.  So there ya go.  

Cruciform Shape - Jane Davies Class - fabric and glass

Been spending a lot of time working (actually playing)  on lessons 3 in Jane Davies composition class focusing on cruciform composition which I truly love... however executions is another mater.  I have attempted many pieces but this is my favorite so for..  I will keep working on this and hopefully gain more insight and be able to execute additional pieces to my liking.

Since starting this post I received encouraging feedback from Jane on work posted for the class and have been inspired to try this form out in other medias..   I have additional assignments for the Machine Stitching class recently take with Gail Harkers at CSC ... so I think I will see what I can do with the cruciform shape in fabric.  And I think I will try this shape working with glass.  Will need to prepare lots of test pieces, kind of like painted paper, and see what I can do to create a glass piece.

Hopefully by putting this in writing I will keep my resolve to do these experiments.  Will see!
