Posted on September 17, 2020 by wenting yangA1 | TIME TO ALIGN | NOORA HIJRA Drawing Lines with attention to weight, length, density, and technique What does it mean to fill a page? Are there unintentional lines? Can negative space be a line? Where are the borders? Drawing lines to represent emotions. Some lines are personified. Some lines are etymological diagrams. No spatial context is given, allowing the lines to speak for themselves. Redrawing some of the emotional lines. Maybe this is too cautious? Lines are powerful in communicating quickly, so it’s important to keep things loose. When does this project move from the world of design into the world of abstract art? Exercises during class. The third piece is perhaps the most successful in using emotive linework to represent space as a drawing, as opposed to a diagram. Trying out the Sketchbook app as a drawing tool. Thinking in terms of lines helped produce this drawing relatively quickly, and encouraged a formal understanding of spatial elements.
