LINE DYNAMICS

Ayda Uraz

Kacie Brunk

Today students made drawings exploring the various methods of creating the illusion of depth within their compositions using line and mark-making techniques in ink. The Distal Ques are explained in the menu above. Ayda's drawing above very skillfully  illustrates atmospheric perspective. Notice how the line quality and size of the objects diminishes as the image recedes into space.
Kacie has employed line weight variation, overlap, value and gradations as well as size change to suggest a deep sense of space.

Mushky Rice

After completing two quarter sheet compositions, students changed the format to a half sheet with the same objective of creating a deep sense of space.  With her use of dark values to recede, overlapping shapes and variable line quality, Mushky has effectively addressed the objective of the project while adding a psychological twist with the subtle distortions applied to the shapes and lines.
