Using rectangles, triangles & circles, create multiple different compositions (at least 5). For each one of them write a short text explaining what they represent.
1.
First, I tried to recreate the most basic image even a child would attempt to make: a simple house. The rectangles and triangle are parts of the stable shape – the house. The circles compose the smoke coming out of the chimney.
2.
I tried to make more complicated shapes (as the bow) from the basic shapes by making them touch each other and erasing the lines separating them.
3.
I thought of a stereotypical cartoon of an Asian person. The circle as the shape of the head, the distorted triangle as a hat and 2 rectangles as eyes.
4.
A slope composed of two triangles cutting the surrounding square in half. I tried to add a little movement with a rolling ball.
5.
This time I created an oversimplified kitty. I just created basic ears and a nose. I feel like the image is clearly a cat, even without eyes, mouth or whiskers.
