Lecture; What is a line? 29th Sept

Firstly a proper definition of drawing is, 'the representation of when one tone meets another' 

• Shape
• Form
• Tone
• Texture

Lines are just here to represent an image.

Are brain automatily see's in 3d because we have 2 eyes giving us the illustion of depth but when we draw if we close one eye it is much easier to see the hard lines needed to be used for this image. There is always a sence when your drawing something in 2d that you feel its wrong because are brain is telling us that the object is really a 3d object most of the time. 

where 2 tones meet we see a line. line drawing lines can represent many differnat thinks, but taken at its simplist level they all represent one area of tone meeting another area of time.

pencils are only 500 years ol. before then people did meld point drawingi, silver wire drawings, charcola, chalk and coloured chalk facters effecting line; how you hold it, what your drawing on?

key artists for impseration with lines are;

• paul klee (talked about taking a line for a walk)
• Lewis Cornpbell
• John farleigh (woodcut)
• Henry moore (sheep)

Illusory of space.

weight, tonal, values, character, position and focuas all effect of the way an image looks, darker, larger and distance.
