LINE DYNAMICS

Image
Last night the class made drawings addressing symmetrical and asymmetrical compositions. The objective was to create images illustrating depth employing the Distal Cues (see tab above). Amber Barnard  Amber's drawing illustrates a "funneling" effect. The width of the lines and the spacing between the lines adds to the sense of recession. Katelynn Pizzio Katelynn's drawing illustrates a combination of angular forms and curvilinear forms. Her drawing is rich with pattern and tonal techniques.

LINE: The Characteristics of Line

Image
Last night the class began exploring the different types of lines and their characteristics. Review the notes above for a full description of LINE. The objectives of the projects below was to 1.) explore the various types of line while increasing their dynamics 2.) explore the changes in format and the affect on the lines 3.) create a series of small compositions with the possibility of expanding one into a larger more resolved image. Hayley Simmons: Line Types Katelynn Pizzio: Line Types In our first drawing exercise students chose four different line types to explore. The top row exhibits the individual types. The columns illustrate the original line gaining intensity and strength combined with changing formats. Jessi Davis: 4 Lines, 4 Times Stacey Murphy-Brown: 4 Lines, 4 Times In the second project, students worked exclusively with straight, curved, and angular lines. The forth column illustrates the combining of all three. Again, the dynamics of the lines are increased moving down...
