Project Description

For this project, I had to create four figure-ground compositions based on curiosity. The first thing I did was create a mind map that showed different words relating to our curiosity. Then, after picking two subjects, I had to draw thumbnail sketches for different composition ideas and refine them. After that, I chose the four designs that I liked the most, one stable composition and one ambiguous composition for each subject, and created the final piece and labeled them appropriately.

Reflection

I really enjoyed the process of this project and found it fun to come up with ideas on how to express my chosen subjects visually. While working on this project, I learned about two types of figure-ground compositions. There is stable, which consists of a figure element that is clear and separate from the ground, and ambiguous, which consists of an unclear distinction between the figure and ground.
