Typography

Our first painting followed an achromatic scheme: all grays. Several standards were achieved including specific design principals like  variety, contrast, balance, and emphasis. Typography in art was introduced with several famous artists serving as sources for inspiration: Stuart Davis, Robert Indiana, and Charles Demuth.

The goal here was to design original letters that spelled out a one-word concept. Students then had to illustrate an image that symbolized their concept choice. The entire picture was painted in a variety of grays while the image (a focal point) was shown in either black, white or a combination.
