Through out this project, I kind of found myself struggling in multiple ways. From the beginning, you could say that my initial tracings were not the best ones to be seen as non-objective. Also, my mindset was not very non-objective. I tried doing the best I could as I went, but could not seem to think of complex patterns like those I saw around me. I came around to getting all twenty compositions, getting the idea of where I was going, but not quite where the project was supposed to be. This is something I have never really done before and it has been quite a while since I have drawn anything so I was really pushing my physical creativity (I am more of a visual creative person with video and photos). When it came down into selecting between the twenty compositions and combining them, I was able to have an easier time and started to figure out the project more. I came to realize that my original tracings were not too non-objective, but it was nearly too far to go back. I created my twelve so called non-objective pieces, but they were very bare. Like I have mentioned earlier, I had observed others’ work and saw how intricate each piece was compared to mine. I then went on to the internet and searched for more examples and looked for how I could possibly add to my own work, and I just started to add lines, dots, scribbles, details. I believe this added texture, depth, took away the large amount of negative space I had in each of my compositions. Most of my compositions were centered and asymmetrical. Also, even though I added a bit of black to create contrast, I would say my work is still pretty light and clean. In the end, if I could, I would go back and make new tracings and make different patterns and have true non-compositional creations, but I am happy with what it turned out to be.
