Week 3 - Line Photos

Craft: The tool that I used for taking these photos was a canon digital camera. The purpose of this assignment was to capture many ways lines were used in everyday objects. Many things had to have been taken into consideration in order to capture the essence of lines. How the lines worked with others lines, how impactful those lines were within the object, how the angle of the photo affected the flow of the lines.

Concept: I decided to take these photos of lines because they are common objects of lines that we come across everyday but we never seem to be conscious of their existence since we have categorized that sort of information as unnecessary, but little do we know they play a huge role in almost everything. The spectrum of lines can range from giving objects texture to telling a narrative. These photos are meant to show others the value lines can have and how they play crucial roles in our lives. Take the photo that is all the way at the bottom. That gated structure is formed by horizontal and vertical lines but without that sort of assortment of lines, such a thing as a gate wouldn't exist. Putting lines into context emphasizes its value.

Composition: The photos that I took feature primarily straight lines or lines that follow a linear pattern. Those are there to emphasized the importance of lines. The other photos have more of a zig zag pattern to them, showing the relationship between lines and how there functions can play a crucial role when they can easily range in form and how well they work together.
