Changing the Identity of a Square: "Little Dancer"

Shape design-Consist of a Figure-Ground Relationship; Avoiding "Shasttershot" Designing; When “Non-Objective” meets the “Real World”
(Abstract)

Format:
8" x 10" format was required for this design

Materials & Tools:
Black Construction Paper Figures
Bristol Paper/Board Ground Sheet (not Drawing/Sketch Paper)
Rubber Cement Glue (don't use White Glue)
"Pic-Up" Square (Cleans off Rubber Cement Glue)
Scissors, Xacto Knife, or Paper Cutter (Optional)
Self-Healing Mat (if using Xacto Knife)



Objective: Cut pieces of black construction paper and glue required figures onto the 8"x 10" white Bristol ground to create a abstract design. The design must be flat with no overlapping, but interlocking, mutual tension, abutting, continuity, and etc, may be used.

Significance: It gives the viewer the vision of a free-spirited person (of chosen gender) or object with the complexness and/or ruggedness of the shapes used. It brings out the sense of happiness as well as a playful side to the abstrct form......it's also quite cute. ^_^
