This was my first attempts at using card to make shapes. I was trying out different ways of arranging objects. Such as, arranging ny subject matter, making it look busy, spacious, or making it random etc.
I got feedback from my lecturer and he advised to repeat the same shape and explore what happens to the pattern: the negative shapes around it, what would happen if you changed the scale? Just playing around with basically: what is pattern?
So I handcut out out some stencils:
I feel they wrok quite well. The Primary colors suggest a normality and the everyday and it also stands out quite well. Personally I feel the positive shapes (bottom picture) are stronger than the cutout shapes. Color is something I can use to communicate with.
