Students cut out 32 shapes from 4 different coloured pieces of paper.
I. Improvised composition Glue down eight shapes onto a piece of paper. Try not to plan the composition in advance. Glue one shape down, then the next shape in response to that, then the one after in response to the ones before and so on until you have glued down all eight shapes.
II. Chance composition – Stand up and drop eight shapes onto a piece of paper – Glue the shapes down where they land
III. Chance and control This combines the approaches of the two previous exercises, alternating between being able to make a choice where a shape will go, to having no control over its final position.
IV. Balance composition – Fold a piece of paper in half – Drop four shapes onto the paper and glue down – Now unfold the paper and glue down four more shapes to ‘balance’ the composition
Questions Year 6 were asked:
Which is your favourite piece?
Do your works look better on their own or together? Do your eyes go on a 'visual journey' when you look at them?
Try joining up your piece with other people on your table. Do the pieces work in a large formation?
