  1. Rhythm and Layers Low Relief Sculpture

  2. Vocabulary • Rhythm – repetition and placement of similar colors, shapes and lines throughout the collage will provide a sense of order and unity. • Balance – whether placed symmetrically or asymmetrically, collage materials should be arranged so that the visual weight is evenly distributed. • Movement – connecting shapes, lines and colors should lead the viewer on a path into, out of and around the entire piece.

  3. Step 1 • Cut a piece of black background paper for a base to start on. • This piece of paper should be about 5”x7”

  4. Step 2 • Cut shapes assorted shapes and sizes of paper for your collage. • Color them with a marker, crayon, or colored pencil if desired. • You can also use colored construction paper. • As you are cutting shapes and gluing them down, remember to keep a repetition, and balance. • As you are gluing the shapes down, use movement to keep the viewer on an eye track around your piece.

  5. Some Hints and Tips • Build rhythm within the design by repeating shapes and colors. • Whenever you lay down a shape, or a series of shapes, repeat it somewhere else in the artwork. (It doesn’t need to be symmetrical, just repetitious) • Build depth in your design by placing darker colors in the back, and brighter colors in the front, which will function as a focus point.

  6. More Tips • Use bigger pieces in the back, and smaller pieces as the collage builds up. This keeps the design open so you can see all the layers. • Add movement by using craft sticks and wooden dowels to form lines. • Glue small stacked wood pieces behind pieces to act as risers. • Extend your collage further than the base.
