This was the shape exercise we did with a 8 x 10 piece of bristol board and using a 4 inch square of black construction paper. I took the black construction paper and with a Xacto knife i cut very snall shapes and lines to make a non-objective design, so that you could not recognize the actual square it once was, yet still retaining a essence of the square itself. This was a very tedious and time consuming project, but the outcome is well worth it.
