In this week’s exercise we were forced to think
"outside the box." We formed one composition of geometric
shapes and another of organic shapes both without the use of defining lines.
Instead, we formed these shapes with patterns, shading, and/or stacked parallel
lines. This sounds easy enough but, I thought it was pretty tricky. When I sit
down to draw, the first thing I do is sketch out my contours and fill things in
as I go. This exercise was like working backwards for me, filling in the
spaces to form the contours. It was effective in making me step out of my
comfort zone which is crucial in learning and in art. It was kinda fun, you
should try it.
