2-D lines

 

Part 1

A line is essentially a point that set-in motion, it's made by movement, and it can go on forever. lines can have many meanings to them like being nervous, calm, excited and many many more, it just depends on what you feel when you see a line. Lines can create shapes and also signify texture using many different types of lines like dotted lines, thick and thin lines and so on. There are three different types of lines, actual lines, an implied line which is much like a dotted line and a psychic line which is almost imaginary, it's there but it's not at the same time, you can tell that the eye follows on its own. You can make lines in many different directions, horizontal, vertical, and diagonal, they can also be used for contouring and adding dimension like crosshatching.

Part 2

For my first exercise I did the freehand line drawing, it was definitely harder than it looked! At times I would mess up and not correct the lines, overall, it wasn't my favorite because it didn't end up how I would have liked it too, but it was cool to try it out.

For my second drawing I did kind of the same line exercise as the first one but this time using different shapes. Overall, this one didn't really turn out how I imagined either, I kept having the same issue as the other one and I also think that the way in which you tilt your line is what makes or breaks your piece, so I think maybe that was the issue but other than that it was interesting working with different shapes.

For my third and last exercise I did the oddly satisfying doodle and I think that was my favorite! I did mess up a few times, but it ended up turning out not so bad, I think that I definitely like working with curved lines better, it allows me to be more free with what I can and want to do.

Part 3

(photos of lines I took)

All these photos show a variety of lines throughout campus, there are a great amount of lines all around us and we never take the time to stop and look, there’s straight lines, curved lines, psychic lines, imaginary lines, thick and think lines, etc.
