LINE DYNAMICS

This Wednesday the class made drawings exploring line dynamics and creating depth by employing the Distal Cues.

Juan

Juan's drawing is an example of asymmetrical balance. This is achieved by following one's intuition. Notice how the largest circles and those with the darkest lines appear to be closer. Thinner lines and smaller circles recede.

David

Jenifer

David and Jenifer's drawings are examples of symmetrical balance. Symmetry is achieved when the right side more or less "mirrors" the left (or top and bottom). David's drawing illustrates radio waves pulsing around a central form of cylindrical and round shapes. Again, notice the way darker lines and larger forms are used in the foreground diminishing in size as they recede to create a sense of depth.
Jenifer has created a very sharp and clean design. The diagonal lines recede to a location of the paper and the horizontal stripes of diminishing positive and negative areas re-enforce the depth.
