Play with those 4 letterforms from each category on one side of the 8 x 8 pages. 5. Create 4 compositions with the goal of creating interesting positive and negative space in each and also recognizing the anatomical details of each, making notes on the opposite facing page describing those details. 6. Finalize your compositions after getting feedback from your peers and instructor. 7. Print and mount on matte board for presentation.
