Exploration: Black Square Problem
PLAYFUL Exploration : I tried to create an image that appeared whimsical and fun. So I kinda came up with these square “fairies” darting across an empty space.
CONGESTED Exploration: I think this is a pretty simple solution to the problem. I probably could have explored the possibilities more. But it’s definitely congested.
TENSION Exploration: The way I understand the term “tension” is basically like juxtaposition. Smooth and rough, small and big, warm and cool; things that oppose each other but work together in a composition. So here I have ordered/structured forms working against loose/free forms.
ORDER Exploration: I had to look up examples of order in art and I came across a photograph of a brick wall with all different sizes of bricks, so that inspired me to create this. I wasn’t meant to look exactly like bricks, especially since I wasn’t able to use rectangles. I also wanted to make sure I had a clear focal point so a made one little area consisted of very tiny squares that are relatively the same size. I feel like there is order amongst randomization.
