Chapter I : PRIMARY ELEMENTS
POINT
A point marks a location in space. It has no length, width,
or depth and therefore it’s directionless. But, however it defines, centers,
reinforces and accentuates the plane. It also can illustrate a focal point of
the space.
LINE
A line represents the tension that exists between any two
points. Line gives a sense of direction to the plane. Vertical line represents
dignity, formality, stability, and strength.
Horizontal line represents calm, peace, and relaxation. Diagonal line represents
action, activity, excitement, and movement. Curved line represents freedom, the
natural, having the appearance of softness, and creates a soothing feeling or
mood.
Plane
Two lines become a plane. It defines two dimensional shape
which has a width and a length but no depth. It represents a visual
weight, stability, Size, proportion, and Position in space.
Volume
A plane extended in a direction other than along its surface
forms a volume. As the 3D element of an architectural and design element it can
either be a solid or a void. It is important to perceive this duality of
containment and displacement. The duality of solid forms and spatial voids
represents the essential unity of opposites that shapes the reality of
architecture or design.

Great idea using the same picture. It really helps one see how strongly related each element is to the next element. I would just expand a little on what we see in each picture and how it relates to the element described.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Katelyn! Using the same picture really helped to tie all of the elements together. You had good definitions! It would be good to see examples of each of the elements on their own, not just in the space.
ReplyDeleteThe visual presentation is enhanced by using the same image. That was a good idea. And your explanations are short and concise, which makes it easy to follow.
