Science

This project was an ongoing 2-D project. We would work on the little 5 in X 5 in squares a little at a time.

First, we picked a theme and did images on the squares of people and things based on that theme. I picked "science" and so I got lots of images associated with space exploration and quantum physics. We then chose words that helped to define or expand on our theme, and made squares of those. We used many different methods to get variety of techniques, values, and shapes. Finally, we picked a way to arrange the squares that reflected the idea we wanted the viewer to come away with.

When I was working on this project, I was thinking about science as exploration. I was also thinking about how all human beings from different times and places have been exploring the world and universe. I used a circular shape to reflect the circular shapes of orbits, planets, stars, molecules, and other forms associated with science, order, and systems. The circle is a 'universal' shape, that works well with my science squares.
