Questions to consider:
- What items should be in the piece?
- What images do you want to receive the most attention?
- How might you use color, lines, and placement to emphasize important images?
- REMEMBER THAT YOU NEED FACTS AND DATA FOR THIS
The Arpillera should be constructed with the following constraints:
- 8×10 landscape (in size)
- No clip art or photo images
- Use only shapes such as circles, triangles, rectangles
- No typed text, if you use text it must be represented in another way
- Use only fill colors and/or patterns
