Week 2
Points, lines and planes

This week we were introduced to points, lines and planes as being the basics of design.

  • Points: Marks a position in space/ It has no mass/ It is a location/ A mass of points can create textures.
  • A line: An infinite series of dots/ Connection between two points/ Lines appear at the edge of objects/ They can be straight, curved, continuous or broken/ When it reaches a certain thickness it becomes a plane
  • A Plane: A flat surface/ When modified it becomes a structure/ Planes with different textiles

We were also shown examples of space and volume, linear perspective, Visual balance and tension.

Assignment week 2:
We had to come up with a specific theme and sketch out 12 squares. 4 using points, 4 using lines and 4 using curves. Here's a glimps of what I came up with.
