1) The document provides instructions for a digital art project that involves arranging simple black and white shapes within a rectangular boundary to create a strong composition.
2) Students are told to create a variety of circles and squares in black and white, and to use the principles of grouping, alignment, and contrast to develop an innovative design within the constraints of the project.
3) Five rough concept designs are due on February 3rd for class discussion, from which one will be selected for further refinement, with three refined versions due on February 10th.

Project 1 Sec 01 The bounding rectangle has also lost its stroke color. To select it, first select none, then use the white arrow with Objective a plus sign (the group selection tool). To become familiar with the creation Use it to select the bounding rectangle, and manipulation of simple objects, then give it a stroke of black. Every and with selecting, grouping, shape that you create by duplicating duplicating and alignment, by (copy-paste in back) or resizing or arranging those objects within a otherwise altering an existing shape rectangle to produce a strong design/ will be a part of the clipping group. composition. Select them using the group selection tool. Any new shape you create using Procedure the rectangle or ellipse tool will not be Begin by creating a new document in a part of the clipping group. Therefore, Illustrator. Go to View and make sure you should create all of your new that Print Tiling is checked. Use the shapes by copying existing shapes. rectangle tool to create a rectangle within the dotted lines. Use the Aesthetics properties pane to set the fill color of Consider grouping as an organizing the rectangle to none and the stroke principle. Grouping occurs through color to black. Use the rectangle and similarity of size, similarity of shape, ellipse tools to create circles and and similarity of color. It also occurs squares of various sizes. Hold down through alignment. A single shape can the shift key as you create the shapes be part of more than one group. Use in order to constrain them to squares this to create a dynamic flow through and circles. Make some of your shapes your design. Try to see how innovative black by selecting black as the fill color and surprising you can be within the and none as the stroke color in the somewhat severe constraints of the preference pane.
