Since I have taken art studio classes before I have been introduced to these theories in practice but not in verbal/written format, so it is interesting to apply them with out actually drawing them. But ever since I have been reading about line and space, I have become even more aware of my surroundings. I especially like to see the contour lines of oak trees, there is something so majestic and beautiful about the art we can find in nature. Another one of my favorite types of line is the implied line. It is as if you have to draw so many other lines to convey a hidden message like the letter S shown above. The artist has not directly written the letter S but through a variety of another line forms conveys this message to us through implied line. As for space this is a slightly harder topic to talk about, but it is present if everything we look at. That is why by using vantage points and what not artists can "trick" the viewer into creating an illusion of depth or size just by the placement of lines, or other objects varying in size. This is when art starts getting really cool!

Misha, I totally agree, nature has so much to offer to the world of art. I liked how you noticed the contour lines in the oak tree, very impressive. I think you really understood all the concepts we learned this week and you helped me to understand them too. thanks!
