Contemporary issues
• contemporary means having particular relevance to the present time.
• Broad examples of current contemporary issues: International Conflict, Terrorism, Pollution & Waste Management, Natural Resources & Energy Conservation, Urban Development, Bioethics Market & Workforce Globalization, Mobile Technology & Communications, Information Management & Security

• animal rights: specifically stray cats, fur animals, etc• Abortion: specifically birth control, heathcare,
religion, etc.• gun control: specifically school violence, gangs,
personal safety, etc.• Education: specifically bilingual education, no child
left behind, standardized testing, etc.• Drugs: specifically in schools, crossing the boarder,
linked to poverty, suicide, etc.
Repitition
Occurs when we use the same visual element or effect any number of times within a
composition.
The whole of often greater than the sum of the parts.
Continuity: A fluid connection among compositional parts. When objects are placed in close proximity, continuity often naturally occurs.

• Narrowing down your topic will help you generate ideas for 3-dementional forms.
Examples….So you want to do a project on drugs. You narrow it down to
blood doping, specifically in cycling.Three of your possible materials might be: bicycle tires or
tubes, syringes, live strong bracelets…..Or, you want to think about religion on a global scale. So,
you decided on a project about the new pope. You consider materials: table crackers, small communion cups, wooden crosses….
Or, how about a project on global warming. So you list: plates, match sticks an napkins. Oh, their commonality? They are all made of trees. So maybe your focus is really more on deforestation specifically, rather than global warming
