Destroying the Square

This was another mini-project that we were to do.  We used the same materials as the Line Design. An 8x10 bristol board paper and black construction paper.  The parameters for this project were a little bit different from the other project that we had to do.  We were given black construction paper to use but we had to cut it into a 4inx4in square to use the parts that we needed. Basically the whole part of the assignment was to destroy the essence of the square, though in the 4th design, we were to destroy the square but still keep that same essence of it being a square. Some of the techniques that were learned in class were interlocking, abutting, proximity, etc. For two of the designs, we were to destroy the square completely using a non-objective theme. For the third design we were to destroy the essence of the square using an objective design relating to something we knew. For the fourth design we were to cut up the square but aligned it in a way that still able to conceive it was a square.

My first design I used the technique of "Continuation" but focused too much about framing it, that it loses it's sense of being a continuation and looks more like it is more like a frame bordering the white, so it feels as if there is something missing in the middle.

One of my other designs was to destroy the essence of a square but to also make it an objective image and I totally didn't mean to make this, but I guess it just ended up like that for the final thing.
