Objective:
Create a 5x5 grid of hearts using both the positive and negative space of their heart cut outs. Each square HAS to have a heart in it. You can draw hearts as well.
Contrast:
When choosing paper students had to consider contrast. Their heart paper should stand out against their background square paper.
Variety:
Students had to use many different papers - plain colored, patterned, painted paper, book paper, atlas paper, etc. Hearts should also be cut out in different sizes, shapes and styles, and placed in different positions.
Harmony and Balance:
Students had to use each of their papers of choice more than once throughout their composition, to create harmony and balance, and to create a visually pleasing whole.
