Rectilinear Form
Rectilinear Form: Balancing Dominant, Subdominant, and Subordinate Elements | This exercise asks students to concentrate on studying the subtle relationships between dominant, subdominant, and subordinate elements. Through carefully composing three rectilinear blocks, they begin to experiment with hierarchical relationships, dynamic axial forces, and the impact of positioning.
