Project 52, Week 44, Triangles and Squares

This is a lot like last week's project except the object is to compose pictures with triangles, squares, rectangles, cones, cubes, cuboids, boxes, pyramids, and etc (any geometric shape except circles).

Things to Consider:
  • The shape or form can be the main focus or take a supporting role.
  • The object/element can be an actual shape/form or it can be implied.
  • Search magazines or online for photos and paintings and try to identify shapes used by the artists. (See Power of the Triangle, comment # 10)
