Line and Space



I learned so much about line and space in chapters 5 and 6. After learning the material I see things differently. I have a painting in my house of Venice, Italy, I never really paid any attention to the linear perspective. Now I see the different lines and the dimension. Today I went outside and looked down the street, the car in the distance, the plants on the right overlap and create an illusion of space behind them. Another example of line and space in my everyday life is where I work, Carmax. The cars are lined up on straight rows. If you look on one side of the isle the end gets narrower. Now, I will pay more attention to the line and space around me. I'm excited to look at more art work because I have a better understanding of content, form, line and space.

I feel the same way. I have found myself paying attention to things I have walked past everyday without thinking or really looking at it.

Seriously! I actually find myself staring and analyzing scenes without realizing I'm doing it initially. I just zone out and halfway through I realize I have terms floating in my head...
