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!

There are many lines in this photo. the most distinct line in this photo are the telephone lines in the sky. there are other lines on the fence such as the barb wire an the poles sticking up from the fence. the lines on the fence represent calm and rigidity because they are horizontal and vertical.

In this image the artist Stephan Shore uses the design element of lines throughout his image. The fence running through the image is an element of lines. The telephone lines that run across the top of the image display an element of line. There are many lines throughout the image.

The lines in this image are the power lines, metal gate, and wooden part of the fence. These are vertical lines. The lines are used to guide your eyes to the board with the mountain on it. The lines are calm and not busy or rigid.

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 image uses vertical lines to make the action pop. It makes the "billboard" photo of the mountain truly stick out and catch the eye of the viewer. The line is vertical, therefore it is rigid. This rigidity is a property of a vertical line and makes it stick out more.

Sol Lewitt uses lines in his image in order to convey emotion and evoke emotion in the viewer. The image contains many curved lines which quickly draw the viewers eye. These curved lines convey fluidity and show a distinct beauty within the image. This makes the image truly beautiful.

The photo by Hiroshi Sugimoto is of fog covering over an ocean or lake. The fog creates a distinct line that catches your attention and makes you look along the horizon. Even the lines in the body of water go horizontally. There are no lines in the fog so that your attention is directed to the center. 2/9/2017 11:52:46 am
Hiroshi Sugimoto's photo of the sea is a brilliant example of lines. He uses the horizontal lines on the horizon. These illustrate the tranquility feeling in the photo. Personally looking at this image makes me feel better on the inside.

In Hiroshi Sugimoto's image he shows a photo of the ocean. The image is very foggy but looks quite peaceful. He shows the horizontal lines and that shows a sign of calmness. You can really see all the horizontal lines in the birds eye view of the image. 2/9/2017 12:07:35 pm
In Sol Lewitt’s photograph, he uses a combination of different lines to give off different feels. There are diagonal lines, which hint at activity, and there are vertical lines, which represent rigidness. There are also horizontal lines that represent passiveness and curvy lines that represent fluid movement. The combination of different kinds of lines creates a contrast in moods. You may think the photograph has a rigid feel, but then you can see the curvy lines that show motion. Along with the contrasting moods, the vibrant colors add to the different vibe this photograph gives off.

In the photograph by Bernd and Hilla Becher, a collage of water towers is shown. Lines used in the architecture of these towers are crucial in this photograph to emphasize the varying structure and uniqueness of each building. The vertical lines shown are from the pillars holding the tank up. These vertical lines indicate stability and structure which is important in architecture. Also, the alternating lines going either in or out are intriguing to the eye and therefore make it a successful picture.

The photograph I chose that represents line is the one taken by Hiroshi Sugimoto. This photo is of a black and white ocean. The vibe that comes off of the image is the feeling of peacefulness, calmness, and stillness. This is because he incorporated horizontal lines in the photo which really sets the mood. I believe that he did this to replicate what he was feeling at the time that he took the photo. 2/9/2017 12:18:26 pm

Bernd and Hilla Becher's photo is of several houses that have a mix of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines. These lines are displayed on the front/back of the houses and differ from their neighboring house's design. So in all, each house design is different from the others. The diagonals lines are seen pointing towards each other, away from each other, and aligning symmetrically with each other. The vertical lines on the houses are mostly seen as the bases that from the rectangles or boxes that you see. There are also about 3-4 horizontal lines on every house that contribute with the vertical lines to make the boxes. I think this picture represents how everyone is different, just like how each house is different from the others. 2/9/2017 07:31:08 pm
The image that was taken by Hiroshima Sugimoto is a beautiful black and white ocean that gives the feeling of peace, tranquility, simplicity, and calmness. The image also has a sense of Mysteriousnes, and it has the look of something that would be in a horror/ mystery movie.

Hiroshi Sugimoto's photo of the ocean is a fitting example of how lines can be portrayed in art and in life. The photo is a black and white scene of the ocean with a heavy fog over it. The ocean's horizon is a prime example of what horizontal lines depict to the human mind. Looking at the photo can provide an ambience of tranquility, relaxation, or quietness.

The painting by Sol Lewitt shows a background full of red, yellow, and red diagonal lines going in various direction; over it are some translucent black diagonal lines. Such diagonal lines suggest movement and activity, creating a scene that looks like orderly chaos. The sharp change in direction in the lines also suggest sharp and sudden movement, adding to the business of the image.
