Sara and Shannon’s lesson talked about composition and
achieving both static and dynamic variations of composition. I think this is an
interesting way to introduce the idea. It forces students to act out what is
actually a successful and unsuccessful composition in terms of arrangement and
space. Having the Elements and Principles of Art be a factor in the lesson but
not the outright driving force is important. If the lesson is to learn these
elements, including composition, then no student is going to understand or want
to take the time to conceptualize how to make them work positively in personal
work. By having it been a silent but apparent factor in the lesson, it is a
more likely that students will be interested and understand the content.
This is my version of the dynamic composition. It was
explained that a dynamic composition had the objects arrange to lead the
viewer’s eye around the page and from one object to the next. I put my objects
in a way so that they were sort of stacked to create layering as an interesting
dimension as well as pointing between the objects that were carried throughout
the composition by the piece or bark.
What may make the lesson stronger is to add another level to
contribute to why some compositions or successful over others and how a
composition can work conceptually.
