Jane Davis Composition Class...

Well this class is closing.. but so much remains.   I have worked hard and learned much... and so much will remain with me for many months to come...
Here is a piece I  am working.on.  Hopefully I will complete this or just let it help  me to further my studies and process


   

 Have others to post but am having trouble getting them on line at this time.... more later

On to Sketchbook Challenge which will be  something I truly have been battling for many years and hope to overcome...  again.. more later

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!
