In order to demonstrate understanding of line and the principles of design, I had to create an abstract piece using only black Micron pens and various drafting tools.
Below are preliminary compositions in which I explored line quality and representing emotions or themes through line.

For this piece, I had to create another abstract artwork demonstrating the principles of design, this time with a focus on shape. This was to be achieved by cutting shapes out of colored paper and organizing them onto white Bristol board in a thoughtful composition.
This piece is the first of a two-part project in which the class would each make an abstract piece, then interpret another classmate's shapes in a new artwork.

In the second part of this two-part project, I was instructed to choose another classmate's abstract shape piece and interpret what I saw in the shapes into an objective artwork. We had free choice of medium, but we were required to maintain the original colors and approximate location of elements present in the original.
The original abstract piece I worked off of is included below with permission from the artist, my classmate Alicia Strelow.
