LGrella's Blog Entry 2: Line Spice

Vertical and Horizontal Lines

This piece was one of my favorites to work on. When Prof. Buening showed us a few examples in class the idea for it popped into my head and I could not wait to get the ball rolling. The mood that this one shows to me is a feeling of being pent up. The thin lines with the bend represent a road and the thick lines represent a road block. It reflects life in a way, there are times were you feel pent up and you need to get out and move but you can't.

Diagonal Lines

This one was my favorite out of the collection. In this piece represents my anxiety. the thin straight lines show my outer self. Very put together. They go in two different directions because they represent the choices I have to make daily. Now the really thick line that cuts the page in half represents my skin. So that leaves the rest showing my inner self. The jagged lines show my anxiety and give the image of trying to break out of my own skin.

Curvy Lines

This piece I would say was my weakest. I had no ideas flowing through me. I guess in a way it shows here. The different lines show the state of confusion I was in. I just didn't know what to do. The piece is divided into three sections; nothing touches, or meshes in any way. I was just trying to fill up space.

Putting Everything Together

This piece was fun to put together, I really enjoyed using color. This piece for me represents excitement. It reminds me of confetti. The square like lines in the bottom corner represent something hard giving way to excitement and fun!

Remake

Here is the remake of the curvy line assignment. I pictured leaves in my head and wanted to show that on paper. I feel like everything flows in this piece. Unlike the other piece, everything connects in a way.
