For this week's critical analysis, you will navigate to the Elements of Design tutorial on the class website, which can be found HERE, or by hovering over Technical/Tutorials at the top of this page. On this page, you will note several different visual examples (photographs, paintings, sculptures, etc.) for each element of design. Your task is to choose 1 example within each element and write 1 paragraph explaining how the given element is incorporated into the image/painting/sculpture/etc. You will do this for each element of art, making 8 paragraphs total. Your paragraph must be 4 sentences minimum per paragraph. When you are writing, be sure to list the name of the artist whose work you are referencing. Here is an example: SPACE This is a photograph by an artist named Stephen Shore. This image uses the design element of space because space is implied within the billboard itself, but also the area around the billboard. The billboard shows a depictions of a mountain range landscape, suggesting infinite space, even though it is enclosed by a rectangular frame. There is also infinite space surrounding the billboard, as the clouds, landscape, and mountain range reach off into the distance. Your analyses will be graded on the following criteria:
If you do not finish in class, you must complete this for homework before class on Friday. Do not overthink this—just write about what you see. Good luck! 2/9/2017 06:25:32 am
Lines can be seen everywhere in this photo. the sharp contrasting lines making up the billboard draw the eyes to the center. along with the billboard the fence line pull the eyes further back into the image.

in this image by sol lewis lines are incorporated into the entire image. theses lines are organized and appear to be just thrown together. the use of multiple lines and angles create unrest in the viewer's eyes. this create a busy image.

The photograph below by Stephen Shore, uses the design element, line. Lines are distributed all around the photo, for example the lines the fence, billboard or sky. The lines in the sky are horizontal and are soothing in many ways. Yet the vertical lines in the fence are edgy.

The photograph below by Sol Lewitt, uses the design element, line. Lines are distributed all around the photo, in fact all the photo is are lines. The lines are put into different colors and the different colors show contrast. By the curved or straight lines we can covey if they if they’re calm or edgy.

The photograph by Stephen Shore uses lines both in and around the billboard. In the billboard there is the line from where the water meets the tree line, and also from where the edge of the mountain meets the sky. Around the billboard there is the horizontal line of the horizon and the somewhat diagonal line of the mountain range. The horizontal lines of the horizon and water create a calm image, but because of the relatively vertical sides of the mountain in the billboard, the billboard mountain seems much more commanding.

The first element of design is line. This photo uses various types of lines that are primarily used, in this instance, to draw your attention to particular area or direction of the photo. For example, both the cables of the cell towers and the wooden fence ru at a diagonal angle from bottom right to middle right. These lines draw your attention to the billboard in the center of the photograph. It is also important to note the lines of the clouds also running to the billboard.

This image by Bernd and Hilla Becher shows the first element of design which is line. Lines are seen in this series of images in the traditional German architecture. These lines go in many different directions at many different angles. Horizontal lines can show serenity or quietness. Vertical lines can show rigidity and structure. Diagonal lines can show business or activity. Curved lines can show either calm or rapid movement. 2/9/2017 06:44:04 am
This photograph portrays line in the horizon and the horizontal structure of the photo. The lines of the billboard portray the effect of a smaller box in a bigger box. The billboard and the frame edges are practically parallel to each other. The left edge, the fence and the horizon all com together in a meeting point in the center left of the image which creates length to the photo.

The image by Sol Lewitt uses only lines; however, none of the lines featured are straight. This creates a hectic image that overloads the viewer's brain. The lines also vary in opacity, which does away with any last hopes of uniformity in the image. The lies seemingly haphazard lines layered on top of each other create an even greater sense of turmoil.

Hiroshi Sugmoto’s photograph of the fog on the sea is great example of lines. The line in this picture is where the ocean meets the fog. Horizontal lines can symbolize a calm or passive feeling and this photograph does exactly that. Just looking out and seeing the sale horizontal line of the for and sea can help you relax and feel better.

The first photo I chose was by Sol Lewitt. I chose this photo because it implements the element of lines. There are many different photos, and in each one there are many combinations of curved, straight and bent lines. These lines also merge in one of the photos to make a shape.

This image by Hiroshi Sugimoto shows what looks like a body of calm non active water. The Horizontal line the water makes shows non activeness and calmness. Vertical lines show activeness and movement but horizontal is more chilled.

i am doing the photo by Bernd and Hilla Becher. In this photo there are house structures. these house structures have lines inside them. the lines go all different directions including vertical and diagonal. 2/13/2017 06:44:41 am
This is an image by Hiroshi Sugimoto. It represents line because the waves go completely horizontal on the image. There is the horizon line, the larger outline of the waves, then the detailed lines of the waves. The horizontal lines also make it passive and quiet.

An image by Stephan Shore, uses the element of space. The reason for this is because of the space in and around the the billboard. With the mountains in the back of the image it creates space and depth. The image in the billboard creates space. Comments are closed.
