LINE STUDY (IN LIFE, NATURE, DESIGN AND ART)

By Naomi Smart

Its all about the “Line”…

Lines…How can

something so simple as a mark

on a surface show so much on so many

levels…???

They’re all around us….

Straight….Curved

These lines, although simple give a sense of wonderment,

scale, very modern.

They’re all around us….

Organic lines can feel so light, almost like you can blow them off the

page… They don’t have to be continuous either (connectivity comes in

to play)

Nature

These lines almost feel to me like they just want to continue…

keep “branching off”

Nature

They’re all around us….

They’re all around us….

How many Gestalt principles come into play here?

Figure & Ground, continuality…

I love the use of bright colour with a black

outline… eye catching…
