Dynamic Composition – Week Five

IMG_5417

I’ve done my homework for lesson five of the Jane Davies class I’m taking, Dynamic Composition. Our lesson for this past week dealt with lines and shapes, with the addition of working in grids with lines, and of course, with collage. I lined up my papers along the floor to choose from.

I’ve been on vacation for the past week, so I’ve worked on this lesson from a hotel and from a condo. Here is where I worked on the first phase of the lesson, on a little desk in a hotel room.

Here are the underpaintings I did in preparation for the next phase.

One of our exercises was to experiment with an open grid using only collage papers, no paint, and to add a line.

We moved to a condo for the balance of our vacation — and where I had a much bigger workspace.

The next portion of the project was to add a line to a collage  painting. I worked on two.
