Working with... Lines II

Creative composition with lines.

1. Draw parallell lines on a white paper.
2. Cut out simple shapes.
3. Glue the drawn paper onto another and then the shapes, but changing its direction.

You will get an abstract artwork

A drawing with just a line!

Draw a 3D hand just with lines.

Pablo

If you want to have a great 3D drawing of your hand just follow the instructions:

1. On a white paper trace with a pencil the silhouette of your hand.
2. Choose 3 or 4 nice colours to work with. One of them has to be a dark colour.
3. Draw straight lines till you get to the hand and then make a curve line till the end of the it, then keep on going with a straight line. Pretend you are drawing on top of your real hand!

Isn't it cool!!!

GEOMETRY

Questions:
•    What is geometry? is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space.
•    Is geometry Art or Math? Both
•    What do we use geometry for? To draw and create shapes, objects, etc.

Tools:
Ruler, set of squares, compass and technical pens.

Geometric Layouts____________________________________________

• Parallel lines: Two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch at a point are called parallel lines. Line m has everywhere the same distance to line.
• Perpendicular lines: The segment AB is perpendicular to the segment CD because the two angles it creates (indicated in orange and blue) are each 90 degrees. If a line is perpendicular to another as shown, all of the angles created by their intersection are called right angles.
• Angle bisector: An angle bisector divides the angle into two angles with equal measures. An angle only has one bisector. Each point of an angle bisector is equidistant from the sides of the angle.
• Bisection: is the division of something into two equal parts by a line, which is then called a bisector.

LINE

"A Line is a Dot that went for a walk" Paul Klee

         

     Line is one of the most important Elements of Art. Imagine creating a painting, 
sculpture or design without drawing lines to divide the paper or canvas into shapes and forms!. Think about how important a role Line plays in 
the creation process. Lines can communicate an idea or express a feeling. They 
can appear static or active. Lines define objects. We will take a look at how artists 
use line expressively.
 
Line

•  is the path of a moving point: horizontal, vertical, diagonal.
•  is the mark left by a tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc.
•  defines the position and direction of a design, image or form.
•  Types of line include vertical, horizontal, diagonal, contour or a combination of these.
•  They may be curved, straight, thick, thin, smooth, long, short and so forth.
•  Lines are used to create shape, pattern, texture, space, movement and optical illusion in design.
•  The use of lines allows artist to demonstrate delicacy or force.
•  Curves may take us slowly uphill, or turn sharply twisting our mind as they turn.
•   a line can express various moods and feelings.

Look around your class. Look at the edge of objects ... you are looking at lines!.
