OUGD104-Visual language-what is line

The brief:
Using manipulation of line, frame, format, media and colour, produce a body of work that visually investigates the following definition of the word 'line'.

"A connected series of events, actions, or developments."

Considerations:
Develop, document and catalogue a range of investigative and experimental approaches in response to the above quote. Also document the application and evaluation of media.

Target audience:


Tone of voice:


Background:
One of the numerous definitions of drawing (and recording drawing) is the act of defining the outlines of an object against a background, using a wide variety of tools and techniques. It generally involves making/applying marks to a surface.

How do you construct a line?
Draw, trace, add/remove, layer, dot, drag...

What media do you use?
Traditional drawing materials, photography etc...?

What format are you working to? Is your frame constant or changing?

Mandatory requirements:
The work presented must represent the time given to complete this brief. Set time aside to draw regularly. There is no point rushing this at the end of the module, time management is essential. Your investigation should become part of your everyday life and developing design practise. Will be based upon a workshop(s) previously undertaken in the visual language module.

Deliverables:
A set of notebooks/sketchbooks and drawings/images in an organised, rational, and considered format.

Studio deadline:
23rd March 2010
