These grayscale collages were created in September by Visual Language students. The assignment objective is to explore geometric shapes—rectangles, triangles, circles—and freeform/organic shapes, in combination with contrasting areas of light and dark, and varieties of visual texture. This assignment encourages an awareness of the compositional principles of visual hierarchy and figure/ground.
