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
