Project Title: Dots in Space
The dot marks a position in space. Being the prime element in the vocabulary of basic design conceptually it has no length, width, or depth and therefore static, centralized, and directionless. Although theoretically, a dot has neither shape nor form, it begins to make its presence felt when placed within a visual field with some degree of visual dimension. In this particular project students are asked to make a composition with dots.
