Final Crit: Letterform Exploration: Part Three:
Refine one of your rough compositions drawn during class into a final composition. You can crop, scale, repeat, layer the letterform, etc to achieve a new composition. Medium is up to you. Pencil, pen, charcoal, marker or paint (or any mark making tool you’d like to explore) are all allowed (no color!). To add a new informational layer to this phase of the project, incorporate labels to indicate the parts (anatomy) of your letterforms. Labels can be drawn directly on your paper, be applied to a separate material and stuck on to your composition, be tied, stapled or taped to your composition. Do whatever you want! We will post these on the wall of the critique room at the beginning of class to discuss.
