LINE DYNAMICS

Annette Kirchner

Nesho Dimov

Trevor Stroupe

Rebecka Craig
Class began with a lecture covering the Principles of Design. Following the lecture students continued with line studies but on a larger scale.  The objective was to create dynamic compositions using the various line techniques investigated on Tuesday with the addition of paying special attention to establishing a sense of depth. Students began with quarter sheets and ended with a half sheet that is to be completed for homework.  We will look at the results of the half sheet compositions first thing tomorrow morning.
Annette's drawing above makes great use of thick and thin lines spiraling into the composition with fluid, wavy lines rising to the surface. Nesho's drawing is a good example of the influence of drawing tools and mediums.  His pen has a brush like tip which allows for calligraphic lines and dry brush techniques. Trevor's drawing exhibits powerful, expressive lines reminiscent of grinding steel. And lastly, Rebecka's drawing illustrates the cool clarity achieved with even, smooth, mechanical lines.
