Task 1) Create a 'Radial' pattern using ‘Geometric’ shapes. 

Medium: Coloured pencils (optional texta for outlines and edge work)

Note: Pattern must include a specific range of colours e.g. complementary/primary/warm.

            Artwork must apply tonal ranges/gradient using coloured pencils and optional textas (to outline) 

 

Development work:

• Practise tone to create a gradual effect (1 colour SLOWLY blending into another colour)

• Design using  on a 14cm squared tracing paper TILE.

• Transfer the design to A3 paper.

• CUBISM BASICS:
  Invented by: Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque
  Date: 1907

• Key characteristics: Paintings use flat, geometric shapes and appear to have a broken up (shattered) appearance
                                   First Abstract art movement 
                                   Lack of perspective,
                                   sometimes different views of the subject are seen simultaneously (at the same time)
