Lines and Emotions

To me, lines show the structure of an object. Rigid, straight lines show order and a fixed form, while curvy or 'flowy' lines make an object seem smoother and more organic. They remind me of nature and the environment.

For my object, I chose a coaster from the kitchen table. It is made up of lines (in diamonds) and curves (connecting them). The design is pretty simple, but I really liked the way the dark and light wood gives it a striking pattern.

A coaster and my drawing of it

I thought my line drawings turned out pretty well. I wasn't really sure how to do the gesture one -- I didn't know how to use lines to show the movement.
