Landscape Composition: Using Geometric Shapes from the Straw Medium
Abstract
One aspect of 2D art that captures nature very quickly is the Landscape
Composition. This could be expressed by artists with a barrage of mediums;
most landscape compositions even as imaginative composition depicts a
natural setting of a scene in any countryside. The flow of the content of the
composition usually strikes the emotion of the viewer and provokes enquiries
to the dexterity, skill, technique and style of the artist’s control and authority
over the manipulation of the common liquid mediums such as water colour,
acrylic, Oil on canvas etc . This paper examines the skill and style in the
application of geometric shapes cut from prepared dry stalk of cereal plant
(Straw)as raw material in the making of imaginative landscape compositions.
