2D Foundation Fall 08 Sec 001 Brandt

Above: As promised earlier, a full assemblage of the color experiments based on a self-discovered NYT grid. These initial forays into color are from a MCAD foundation studies group, and each exposes varying level of care and innovation. Fantastico!

Above: My inspiration for this problem, an old Saul Bass cover for Frank Sinatra.

The challenge? Ha! First they created a modular image of the paper developed from
it’s grid. The color fields had to emanate from the three primary colors (and so on…
tres, cuatro), and the students were asked to demonstrate an understanding of this process both physically and structurally.

Endless variations are possible of course, but student idiosyncrasies, both strengths and weakness, are easily deciphered with this problem. Valuable interactive information for this and later challenges!

As with many of these problems, we have tried to make beautiful things with recycled
or preserved surfaces.

For elevene mine, mine takk!
