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 the tutorial page, you will note several different examples of artwork(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 artwork you chose to write about. You will do this for each element of art, making 8 paragraphs total. Your paragraphs must be 4 sentences minimum each. When you are writing, be sure to list the name of the artist whose work you are referencing. Post your writing as a comment to this blog post. Make sure you comment on the correct class period's blog post. Here is an example: SPACE
This is a photograph by an artist named Stephen Shore. This image uses the design element of space because the illusion of space is implied within the 2D images on the billboard itself, but also actual space exists in and around the area surrounding the billboard. The billboard shows a depiction of a mountain range landscape, suggesting a clear foreground, middleground, and background, even though it is enclosed by a rectangular, 2 dimensional 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 Thursday, 3/28/19. Do not overthink this—just write about what you see. Good luck!

In an image by Sol Lewitt, he depicts lines. He uses all types of lines, diagonal, straight, and curved together to create the image. Personally, this image makes me feel very overwhelmed because he also uses a lot of colors. With all the color coming at you all at once, it can make you feel very dizzy.

1. This is an image by Hiroshi Sugimoto. The image describes concept of line with its long horizon and rippling waves. These soft touches give the image a calm and peace.

This image by Sol Lewitt is of many different colored lines that are intersecting all over the paper. The lines are all curved with jagged edges and are very messily thrown all over the paper. This image uses the element of line by creating a very busy and loud image with jagged lines everywhere. The image seems very crowded and makes me feel overwhelmed by everything going on.

The photograph by Sol Lewitt with vibrant colors and many diagonal lines depicts the first element of design, which is lines. Diagonal lines comprise the entirety of the image, so it’s obvious that they’re used. The use of such curvy and crooked lines creates a feeling of excitement and just general movement. The emotional response is much less static than that when viewing straight lines.

This is a photograph taken by Hiroshi Sugimoto. It uses the design element line. The horizon stretches horizontally across the frame. There are also little ripples in the ocean. The ripples coupled with the horizon line make me feel tranquil and serene.

For the element Line, I chose an image by Hiroshi Sugimoto. This image has a horizon line in the middle and many small curvy lines of waves in the water. This image makes me feel calm. It makes me feel this way because curved lines can symbolize calmness.

For the element of line I chose Bernd and Hilla Becher’s Various Photographs of water Silos and how it shows that the same thing can look extremely differently by only changing the line and texture or removing or decreasing the amount of different lines.

The painting by Sol Lewitt uses the design element of line. This painting uses the design element of line because there are lines of all different colors and going in all different directions throughout the image. The painting has lines zigging and zagging all throughout it.This painting makes me feel overwhelmed and panicky. The painting also makes me feel a little bit sick just looking at the jumbled lines.

This photograph is by Sol Lewitt. This image consists of eight boxes with different patterns of colors. Lines are a common and obvious theme among the eight frames. In each frame, the skittle colored lines move in different directions. In one box you may notice that the lines are vertical, in another horizontal, and in another in the shape of a triangle. 3/27/2019 10:52:26 pm
