Shaping an idea

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
