On the fourth day of class Elizabeth Busch had the class use black and white paper to make cut or torn composition samples. These I posted on 10-16-14. On the last day of class she had us create five composition samples using the fabric we painted in class, plus whatever commercial fabric we chose. Everyone didn't do the exercise and some I was unable to photograph. Here are those I did:
Del Thomas
Gail Sims (A)
Gail Sims (B)
Gail painted a large cut of black and white sunflower commercial print which yielded some great color variations.
Tricia Charity
Laura Bisagna
Laura's minimalist designs really appeal to me. Why can't I whip out something like these?
Carolyn Villars
Nadine Rutman
Unknown (Anyone like to claim them?)
These may be from Susan Root who spent more time painting than sewing.
Andrea Bacal
Andrea incorporated curves and circles in her designs, the only adventuress in the class.
Deb Mackay
Deb uses the same spontenaity that she uses in her marbling.
It has been my observation that composition is just about the weakest part of the art quilt world. Myself included! Doing exercises like this and sharing them with others who are gifted in critique would bring a big improvement in that deficiency.
