Foundation Design
Homework: Emphasis, Focal Point, Rhythm, and Line
3 ways to achieve a focal point:
1. Contrast
2. Isolation
3. Placement
3 types of rhythm:
1. Rhythm through repetition
2. Alternating rhythm
3. Progressive rhythm
How can rhythm help to unify a piece of artwork:
Rhythm can create a sense of repetition and make multiple elements feel relevant to one another.
Kinesthetic rhythm:
When artwork engages another one of the senses along with sight (visual).
Line:
Element that defines length
Contour:
Form of line that follows the boarders of a form
Gesture:
Suggestive lines that allow for the artist to describe properties of the subject that cannot be seen with the use of a contour line.
Implied Line:
Series of points tat in sequence, suggest a line
Explicit Line:
easily visable and meaningful line
Lost and Found Line:
Line that varies in weight in order to better describe a form.
Line as direction:
The direction of a line can suggest principles such as perspective, emphasis, and even tension.
Psychic Line:
Mental connection between two points.
Line as Texture an Pattern:
When lines are combined they can give a sense of depth and surface quality (texture) or repeated in a way that creates a pattern.

Working with tablets for the first time!
I'm still nervous about this but I hope with practice I'll become more comfortable because it seems like it will drastically change my artwork! I was really opposed to the whole digital side of the art world before I came to Moore, but I'm slowly falling in love with it.
