Asn. 4: CompositionCombo Create a piece in which some contrast between the meaning/content of at least two areas of the screen is based on a graphical motif/compositional element. See Bill Viola’s “The Reflecting Pool” or “Ancient of Days” for an example. The sound track should call attention to each element in turn. Due week 9.
