 * Using Text as Texture**

I. Cut lines of print from magazines, newspapers, and/or print out text of your choosing. Cut many long, medium, and short lines. Cut to obscure the sentence meanings. AT NO TIME SHOULD THE VIEWER BE AWARE OF SENTENCES OR CONTENT. THE LETTER FORMS ARE TO BE USED TO CREATE ABSTRACT TEXTURES AND PATTERNS You will have the choice of black or white paper glue your image to. The size and format will be up to you, but no side may be smaller than 8 inches. II. Decide on the type of repetition you want to use to create movement. You will have to experiment with this. Begin by placing 1-3 of the large letter forms on your paper III. Create a dense massing of letters which will begin to create a textured/rhythmic movement across the page. IV. Don’t begin to glue until you have a definite direction. However, also realize that this in an additive process and you will be able to make change and alteration as the composition evolves.
