Line and shape 9/1
An hour long interview with Charlie Rose and Brice Marden
Line and contour mapping
Cross contour line
- follows the movement of your eye around the form
- ignores details which don’t describe a volume
- implies volume
- can vary in weight, or how much pressure you use to create darker line
- can imply light and dark
- can imply value
- can be close together or far apart
-
- Cross contour, line weight
-
- Cross contour, value
-
- Cross Contour, value
Repeated information
- line is the moving path of a point
- a series of adjacent points
- a connection between two points
- an implied connection between two point
- An orientation: horizontal, vertical, diagonal
- Direction. Line weight or thickness/value of line implies beginning and end, closer and further
- Continuity: Continuous line has a stronger sense of direction than broken or jagged line
- Gesture: the essence of form and movement rather than description
- Contour: describing edges and volumes
