Point, Line & Plane Update

There are three different criteria for the point compositions that were up on the board in Wednesday's class. Your compositions will need to be within a 7" x 7" (not 8" x 8") square on your sheet. Here is the list of criteria:
1. Literal
2. Virtual
3. Hierarchy - Combination of literal and virtual with emphasis on ONE as the visually dominant.

I need to see THREE (minimum) compositions of each for a total of nine.

See notes from Wednesday for the explanations on Virtual and Literal.

For those of you that did not have your photos, have them for Friday.

See you then.
