is made using creative materials.


Personal Reflection: I enjoyed experimenting with this new and interesting material.

Grade:



02

Rectilinear Volumes


CW 1 Assignment Objective:

Professor’s Feedback:

Create 4 rectilinear compositions

The compositions had good axis.

using 3 elements each.

Neatness was good but could be better.


Personal Reflection: I enjoyed the assignment but found it difficult to create different compositions.

Grade:


HW 2: BNB Assignment Objective:

Professor’s Feedback:

Create a functional bird house

The composition was 3 Dimensional and

using rectilinear geometries.

colorful and the execution was good.


Personal Reflection: Composing the bird house into an abstract shape made it interesting.

Grade:



03

Curvilinear Volumes


CW 2 Assignment Objective:

Professor’s Feedback:

Create 4 curvilinear compositions

Neatness was good.

using 3 elements each.

2 models had a similar approach.


Personal Reflection: The different curvilinear elements were interesting to composition.

Grade:


HW 3: Typography Assignment Objective:

Professor’s Feedback:

Create a letter or number using

The composition was good and very

curvilinear geometries.

colorful.


Personal Reflection: All the curvilinear shapes complemented each other well.

Grade:



04

Recti-Curvi Volumes


CW 3 Assignment Objective:

Professor’s Feedback:

Create 5 recti-curvi compositions

Neatness is good. The linear composition is

using more than 3 elements each

creative. The grid has good sized elements.
