The fourth assignment, The Spots Project was the first assignment where not thinking was the first step. The professor continuously repeated that we were to “create spots, and not think about it, let our pencil do the work”. After acquiring the approved spots, learning how to recreate them was not a very easy task to say the least. For the last step, we were to use all of the elements of design we had learned up to this point, and in distinct ways for every piece.

Through this assignment I realized how difficult it can be to refrain from repeating attributes in different pieces. This was yet another piece of work in which randomness played a major part. Personally I liked how the first one turned out the most, the one with the triangular overall shape. I couldn’t put my finger on why until the professor pointed out how the piece used the whole paper proportionately.
