Shape and Movement

(This is my shape and movement project that I worked on in class. The first thing I would like to say about it is that is hard to see but on my "blobs" on the top there are two more of them that you might have trouble seeing because they were done with pink colored pencil, I used pink because I thought the color would "pop" off the page, obviously I was wrong!)

My shape and movement project is very simple in its design. It is simple because I didn't want it to be lost in confusion about what my goal of the project would be. I used two different kinds of shapes when I created this piece- Original and Organic. The original shapes would obviously be the squares that are going across the bottom of the paper. I went from small shapes on the left to larger shapes on the right in an attempt to "move" the readers eyes across the page, then using the organic shapes above I did just the opposite and I started with the little shapes on the right and went to bigger shapes on the left to pull the readers eyes back across the page. I feel that with this simple set up it would help elementary education students to better understand the different kinds of shapes, and how movement works. This may not be the most stunning piece of art ever done but I feel it gets the job done when trying to show students the basics of movement and shape.
