Document Summary
A two-dimensional picture surface can be covered with lines, shapes, textures and other aspects of visual form (visual elements). Sculptures consist of these elements organized and presented in three-dimensional space. It is impossible to draw rigid boundaries between the elements of visual form. The painting ooa2 shows a number of visual elements: line, shape, mass, space, time and motion, light, colour and texture. Usually made by drawing with tool or a brush, but may be created by placing two forms next to each other. It is our basic means for recording and symbolizing ideas, observations, and feelings; it is a primary means of visual communication. Lines are actually linear forms in which length dominates over width. Lee friedlander"s photograph bismarck, north dakota is made up of lines; wires, poles, railings, building edges and the shadows they all cast. Can be grouped to depict light and shadow. Implied lines that form geometric shapes can serve as an underlying organizational structure.
