This image represents the idea of a focal point which is in the center of the circle/flower, the buds represent the outer layers.




















The image next to me, is an emphasis idea being portrayed through the red X's.

Even though we did not do this project I really wanted to do the squirell in the tree idea. We could of made the squirrel out of a wire and filled him with leaves and sticks and bamboo to recreate him/her in their natural habitat.

This picture/poster is something I made with my fraternity for our Bid day, where we try and get new members through rush events. This picture has many different emotive lines, the water and sky division is an implied line, no actual line is drawn, but it shows a vastness and serene sense of the huge ocean. While the fishing line is soft and steady in the ocean's vastness.

In this image a Psychic Line is being portrayed, I am looking at my sister causing a line to be formed from my eyes to the side of her head, but her distressed line is going straight into the camera or viewer, so two lines, not crossing are being developed here.













This line type is that of both implied and actual lines, the Fortune cookie paper has a curved line and the shadow forms an implied line is formed by the shadow of the actual line.

Title: The Flag Is Bleeding #2
Artist: Faith Ringgold
Year: 1997

This painting depicts a bleeding flag and a mother bleeding from the breasts as her children cling to her. I think this image is disturbing and beatiful at the same time. The opression that people of different races and cultures, especially the women, is still present even in African Americans, who have been free'd from slavery since 1860's and Civil Rights has been over since the 1970's, but this artist and many other people still see that unity between the races and cultures can come a lot further, this piece shows the trials and tribulations of a black mother, we do not know her story, but we feel for her as she stands behind our countries esteemed flag, which is fetchingly bleeding with her.
