So I started on an idea for my line project today in class. I wanted to use the idea of a sun burst. So, I started by putting two points in opposite corners of my page. From there I put in a guide then drew a line through each guide point through the center point and out onto the page. This technique is similar to the technique used when drawing in one point perspective. When I had finished this from both corners I ended up with two bursts that criss crossed in the middle of my page. After looking at that for a while I realized that it had no movement or depth to it. So I had to try something else. I kept with my idea of light and decided to make the light rays bounce off a mirror. So I erased one corner of sun bursts, then in that corner drew a x and y axis then starting at the point farthest from the origin on one axis and the point closest to the origin on the other I drew connecting lines. These lines formed a curving surface that I then tried to make the light rays bounce off of but I had too many for it to work so I then erased some of my rays and was left with four or five. These I unsuccessfully tried to bounce off my “mirror”. After trying both these ideas I decided to start from scratch with something new.
Today we were assigned our first project for art and design. The assignment is to use lines to create movement. This means using simple lines to show space, depth, and movment. we were shown some examples that range from simple (using only seperate line) to complex (using many overlapping lines making forms). We are to use the shading, the positions, and the layering of our lines to create the feelining of movement in our piece. So, I start running ideas through my head... I need to create movement... so what line moves...ok easier question how do I create space... I can use depth... So to create depth I can... layer my lines, use a darker line in front of a lighter line to create an overlap. That gives the effect of one line being in front of the other and createing a 3d space on 2d paper. Ok so, there is one idea so I can start with that. Now I need a sort of design... I rather enjoy sun rays so why not go off that. So, those overlapping line will create depth and therefore will show the lines moving through the space. They will move from the back to the front of my paper.
New year and a new start! It's time for Art art and Ddesign class. I cannot wait to start posting again.
