line design project help?

Question

for my geometry class, i have to do a line design project. one of the steps are,

"you will create a line design drawing using an original arrangement of angles, shapes, and color. You are to incorporate at least 4 GEOMETRIC concepts into your design"

can someone give me an example or bring me a link to a picture thats a line design with original arragements of angles, shapes, and color? or just simply re word easily to me on what i have to do? i dont understand!!!

Answer 1

Basically, it sounds like your teacher just wants you to explore using some geometric forms to create "art."

So, you could use basic shapes/angles/lines to create something familiar, like a house or a car, etc.

Or, you could try to create something more abstract that deals mostly with composition and visual interest (basically arrange a bunch or shapes/angles/lines to create something that looks cool).

It sounds very open-ended to me, and as long as you use a variety of shapes/lines/etc, it won't matter what you create. It is for a geometry class...

Google Russian Constructivism or Piet Mondrian

Check this site for an example of what you describe.

Click on to the "Commercial Illustration" page and scroll down to the graphic titled, "Music." All of the elements are simple geometric shapes, arranged so as to create stylized instruments. It was the graphic to an advertisement seen in theaters before the program begins. The entire image was created in Photoshop.

well...just draw a triangle .... choose an equilateral triangle.....then a circle that links into the center of it .... that's two so far

**have a square somewhere there

** a hexagon (6-sided figure, all sides of which are of equal length)

**how about a cone (like an ice cream cone shape)

**two arcs that meet at the ends which will make a new moon shape ...

That makes 6 shapes .....

Then color them in, especially where they overlap and interlink ....the triangle could be mostly green but red where the circle overlaps, and the rest of the circle could be blue ... hope it is clear !!

For my class, we sketched out a railroad going across the page with the track sections marking units in time. And then on either side we had different visual themes for that point and short blurbs to summarize them.
