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 the columns to the circular format aka "tondo."
At the end of the night students chose one thumbnail from the projects above to expand into a more resolved image.
Amber's drawing is reminiscent of a rolling and tumbling landscape of overlapping hills. A strong tension and pulling effect is created with the lines arcing inward toward the center.

| Melissa Milks |
Melissa's drawing is very elegant and lyrical. The fluid, flowing lines are very musical. Each line and dot representing a different sound or instrument.

| Victoria Le |
Victoria's drawing evokes a cosmic landscape complete with light waves and reflections, asteroid belts and a cloud of gas that seems to be peeling back space in the upper left hand corner.
