What does order and flexibility look like in art? This week, Marwa Wali Zada, a senior at GHS, created an abstract cover piece on shape and line.
For Wali Zada’s Unit Two project, she made a work of art that focused on contrast through shapes, colors, and lines.
Using complementary colors to make each shape pop, she created diversity throughout her art. This was through colors like magenta, teal, and peach.
Wali Zada produces geometric and organic shapes to draw attention to the 2D perspective of the piece.
She used a technique called scrambling. Where Wali Zada told us, “Basically just a messy scramble of circles.”
Through these geometrical shapes, like triangles and rectangles, she created order and conformity. On the other hand, organic, flowy, irregular shapes created contrast with asymmetry.
“I hope it makes others feel curious and try to find their own patterns and meanings to it,” stated Wali Zada when asked how she wants to make others feel through her art.
