Instructions

Week 2:

Continue working on your symmetrical abstract composition if you aren't done yet. Once you're finished with your first piece, start a new piece and create an asymmetrical abstract composition. Below are examples to give you an idea on the differences between the two.

If you're not sure how to start your asymmetrical piece, begin by covering 1/3 of your paper with one color, and 2/3 of your paper with another color (rather than splitting your paper in half, like what we did with our symmetrical composition). This is a great start that gets the ball rolling for an asymmetrical design.
