Visual Language- What Is A Line?


The Brief

Using the manipulation of line, frame, format, media, and colour you are to produce a body of work that visually investigates one of the following definitions of the word: "line".

...

"A formation of people, objects or things on besides/behind the other."

"A connected series of events, actions, or developments."

"The descendents of one individual."

"A mark indicating position, connection, or boundaries."


Considerations

You will need to develop, document, and catalogue a range of investigative and experimental approaches in response to the quote you have chosen. You will also need to document the application and evaluation of media.

How do you construct a line?
Draw, trace, add/remove, layer, dot, drag...

What media do you use? Traditional drawing materials, photography, etc...?

What format are you working to? Is your frame constant, or changing?


Background

One of the numerous definitions of drawing is the act of defining the outlines of an object against a background. Using a wide variety of tools and techniques. It generally involves making/applying marks to a surface.


Mandatory Requirements

The work presented must represent the time given to complete this brief. You will need to set time aside to draw regularly. There is no point rushing this at the end of the module, time management is essential. Your investigation should become part of your everyday life and developing design practice.


Deliverables

A set of notebooks/sketchbooks and drawings/images in an organised, rational, and considered format.
