5 square composition

 In this assignment we were required to do collages on the 5 elements of composition which are positive and negative space, variety of size,variety of shape,overlap,and a definate focal point. This was a challenging project because I had to think of a story for each one then have a specific element on each card but still have all of the elements on one card. As Lisa, our teacher, talked about this project I was fretting over how in the heck I was going to finish this and still have time to do the other projects. It took me forever to try to figure out themes or stories for the cards and still have all the elements together. This is what frustrated me the most. I asked Lisa for help many times and even though she would give me some pointers or a few suggestions I still had a lot of trouble. Then right when I was on the peak of getting really stressed out everything seemed to just click and I got all my cards done. This is just another example of when everything seems to be going down in the dumps, something happens and everything just...falls into place.
