IMG_0077 copy

This artwork is called Play and Work. The uses on lines and curves are an important tool for drawing. Line is a continuous mark made on a surface, by a moving point. A line could be horizontal, vertical, diagonal, straight, curved, thick or thin. In this illustration, the task was to create a “play or work” zone using line in only one direction.

The two boxes on the left are both play and the two boxes on the right are work. At the top right left box, this image only uses curves. Using curved lines off of a feeling of freedom and relaxation. This image seem like a wallpaper from the 1990s. The next playful image at the bottom left reveals a maze. A maze might seem more stressful and less playful, however, it depends on the level of difficulty of the maze.

Now, we will review the work or stressful drawings. The first image at the top right is work. This drawing exposes its strong presents of order, organize, and program. It reminds me of a game as both side try to balance a cord in the middle. For the last drawing at the bottom right, it’s also an image of order and foundation. There is more tension in drawing for that reason of two opposes head charging towards each other.
