Project #2: Squares and Graphic Expression

Using four black squares all the same size, create a graphic image to express the meaning of each of the following 6 words:

order
increase
bold
congested
tension
playful

For each word:
– Prepare by cutting squares in groups of 4 or more.  Cut groups of  3/8″, 1/2″, 3/4″ ,  1″ squares; you may need bigger ones (1 1/4″, 1 1/8″ or even 1 3/4″ for determining
the final design)

– Map the groupings in each square on the handout sheet. You must have 6 ideas per word.
– Lay a tracing paper on top (9 x 12) and trace all 6 ideas for the one word onto the
tracing paper. Be sure to include the one word you are working with (circle it and trace it).
– Use only 4 squares of the same size per frame.
– For the final work, you may have a different size set of 4 squares in each frame.

For each of the words you will have:
6 variations for one word on tracing paper.
You will be selecting and completing the best one to finalize the project on a larger square.
