Yesterday class began with a discussion on the characteristics and qualities of different kinds of Line . The first drawing was an inventory of four different kinds of line. Hayley's drawing below illustrates straight lines and curved lines with varying degrees of velocity. The dynamics increase in power and intensity towards the bottom of the paper. Notice how the changes in format influence the stretching, pulling and compacting of the lines within. Hayley Irvin The second drawing focused on straight lines, curved lines, angular lines and the combination of all. Sarah's drawing clearly illustrates how thicker lines advance in space while thinner lines recede. The spaces with one type of line are very unified whereas the combination of different lines adds variety and dynamics increasing the visual interest of the images. Sarah Greathouse We finished the day with a series of line drawings addressing shape, texture and depth within a composition. Tayler's drawing is an exam...
