On an A4 landscape page, draw four equal squares. Create 4 more pages in this way. So, you’ll have 5 pages with four squares on each.
Draw one or two squares or rectangles in each empty square to achieve the following visual effects (refer to your textbook, p.41 as guidance). You can work with the interaction of rectangles and squares to make the balance or imbalance more evident.

Symmetry/asymmetry
Produce at least two different versions of each effect, recording your results each time. Explain in one or two sentences what you wanted to achieve (as shown in your manual).
Entering left
1. / 2. With the square/rectangle on the left side it appears to enter from the left.
Balance
3. / 4. By centering it becomes a clean and balanced shape as one or two.
Movement left / right
5. / 6. / 7. / 8. Two shapes is sided left / right for it to appear that they are moving that direction.
Movement downwards / upwards
9. / 10. / 11. / 12. Same principle as in the last four, only the movement is downwards / upwards.
Tension
13. The tension in tipping on a ledge, almost falling off.
14. The tension of the massive weight on a small square.
Symmetry/Asymmetry
15. Two squares to be able to be fold over each other – symmetric.
16. Two rectangles asymmetric of each other.
Symmetry/Asymmetry
17. Two shapes that are asymmetric of each other.
Balance
18. The balance of one rectangle on a quadrat on it’s tipp.
Symmetry/Asymmetry
19. An asymmetric quadrat and a rectangle in big difference of size.
Balance
20. The placement of two like sized quadrat on the oposite cornoer you get a balance of elements inside the square.
