LINE: The Illusion of Space

Carson Blodow
Class began with a discussion on the Principles of Design (see tab above). The project involved developing the illusion of space by drawing vertical or horizontal parallel lines across a composition of nonobjective shapes (circles, squares, rectangles and half circles). Carson's drawing above illustrates how a series of parallel lines will suggest a texture as well as tonalities. The composition is asymmetrically balanced with a movement established from the dark circle in the lower left, moving up to the triangle on the right and up again to the circles in the upper left corner. Depth is established by the diminishing size of the shapes as well as their diagonal, zig-zagging placement within the composition.
