Emily Stephen Yesterday we began studying the characteristics of Line . First, we made drawings exploring different line types. The drawings above illustrate straight lines, curved lines, angular lines and jagged lines. We discussed how the changes in line quality will increase its weight and sense of volume, location in space and overall strength and intensity. Repeating lines can imply movement and energy as well as texture and value. In addition, we discussed the changing formats affects on proportion, location and negative space. Ely Katie In the second set of drawings the class made compositions of 4 straight, curved and angular lines as well as compositions that combined all three. Again, with these images the change in line quality adds weight and dynamics as well as depth when thicker lines overlap thinner lines.

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...

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...

Class began with a slide lecture on the characteristics and types of line. The first drawing was a line inventory. Students explored the qualities and differences of four different types of lines. Belen's drawing illustrates straight, curving, zig-zag and looping lines. By expanding and zooming in on the lines as she moves down the columns, the negative space is diminished increasing the tension and its relevance within the composition. Belen Chavez Silva The second drawing was an exercise called Four Lines, Four Times. The objective was to explore the advantages of working with a singular line family as well as a combination of multiple line families. All students used straight, curved and angular lines and a mix of the three together. Notice how the overall weight of the page increases moving down the columns. Although Nancy has clearly addressed three different types of line, the bold, graphic nature of her renderings create a sense of unity across the entire paper. The last col...
