Implied Lines

When I saw these rods running horizontally to the ground, I immediately associated them with an implied shape of a rectangle that would continue to the ground. I also liked the exposed look of the beams. 

This broken concrete block implies that the rectangular shape would continue in a straight line where pieces broken off because of its geometric shape.

Non-Representational Shapes

I like the non-representational shapes used in these fabrics because of the fun, whimsical feel they create. 

I made this over the summer and I really love the shapes and lines the melted crayons formed because I think that non-representational shapes allow each person to interpret them differently, creating a piece that can appeal to many different people and elicit unlimited responses. 

This photo of a T-shirt design definitely has a more edgy feel and the non-representational shapes and lines within the skull produce a strange affect and make the viewer wonder what the artist is trying to portray.

Abstract Shapes

These pictures are from my planner and I chose them because I like the fun feel created by the abstract shapes as well as the use of bright colors mixed with white space to create these fun yet artist drawings. 

I found these patterns on some album covers my friends had and I chose these two because the bands created these designs to represent themselves and their music in a way that others may not immediately respond. I like how abstract shapes can be used uniquely to promote an underlying message or belief, which is what I think is happening on the album covers.

Natural Shapes

When I think of natural shapes I think of nature, so in this collage I tried to use photos of just that, nature, and coral is my favorite pattern as well so I had to include it! I like the soft shapes of the leaves because the are inviting and have a calming affect on me which I think is caused by their natural shape. 

Geometric Shapes

I like geometric shapes and I like the diversity in this collage and the brick picture is my favorite because the gaps create a shocking contrast.

Structural Lines

The structural lines utilized here create a feel of power and strength that are perfect for these towering monuments and structures.

Diagonal Lines

In these photos I took in Europe, the diagonal lines and angles add to and enhance the architectural value and affect of these structures.
