This week we studied shape harmony to create unity, rhythm and movement throughout the piece. Thomas Benton used shape harmony extensively to create a sense of movement in his paintings. Using charcoal on 18 x 24 newsprint we were tasked with drawing something in the classroom to demonstrate shape harmony using only line as our approach. I liked the repetition of “u” shapes in this jacket. Class resumes the first week of November. Until then I will be practicing the concept of shape harmony in sketches.
