Shaping Ideas Notes

Shaping an idea / concept

 

Stage 1

Collect and Select

Use images and words or phrases to determine an idea, theme

Collect – open mind – subconscious

1. Select – edit – three grouping – general ideas
   
2. Revisit – Collect – add to collections
   
3. Verbalize – add words to each collection
   

 

 

Stage 2

Develop the idea / mood

Using colour, texture, patterns, lines and brushes

1. Use three colours to create a colour scheme
   
2. Determine the mood of colours dark /light, bright/subdue etc.
   
3. Lines determine sight lines – static dynamic
   
4. Textures, patterns, brushes help to create rhythm
