My collage for the assignment that I didn’t use because the shapes were very geometric (and I didn’t have a well-made collage at the time). It’s not that geometric shapes aren’t good, but there’s more diversity with the picture I used:

Lived traced and took some individual shapes to trace with the pen tool.

Shapes being used before transformed. The two-line shapes is what I elongated and the other single thin stick is what I shortened. The rest was resized. Black on White

I was focused on building a ground and then building on the top of the ground. I want to say that black on white is easy, but it’s really not especially when you have limited shapes and rules to follow (using the same shapes throughout the Figure/Ground series). Becaucse of the stick on the top holding up an arc, I imagined this to be some sort of ship.
 White on Black

White on Black was relatively easy to understand, but you know what they say about putting theory on paper. My idea here was to wrap or surround the negative space to create a white figure and using the sticks it came out to look like the woods, but I should have left more room for the negative space to shine, instead I made a silhouette of a rabbit.

Ambiguous

So ambiguous is suppose to be unclear, and so I interpreted it for this Figure/Ground file to have two grounds and have the figures (little moomen) floating off. One of my shapes already has a gound and the big curved pieced (combined with other pieces) also seemed like a good starting point for ground.

Some troubles I encountered was mostly just creating a good composition with the limited shapes I had because I didn’t use the collage photo, instead I grabbed shapes from a drawing I did recently.
