Line

having not looked intently at this brief i decided to look at someting a bit different to start with. many others within the group had moved at documented all sorts of lines but i've had difficulties starting this project as i want to make something interesting. plus i have had very little time on my hands with the deadline for the module looming over my head. ok so not quite a line but the intention of a line is there so in a sense this could be considered a line. dot to dots are the quintessential, drawing, challenge, past-times of many children (and some adults) today. i thought its quite interesting how you already know what the image is even theough its just a series of dots. i think its quite possible that your mind automatically joins the dots in your head either consciously or subconsciously so you can see what the images is without even thinking it.




















i would really like to take this forward but the crit that recieved for the work that i was looking at told me that this was a way of producing line however it lacked subject matter. i havn't chosen something to document a line of which at this point is something i majorly lack. what lines could i document? i started thinking about maps and the dots on a map that maybe make up lines. chloe galea documented the places that she has been to in the book of 100 and that comprised of flags dotting the places she has been to throughout the world. i thought that was really nive and i liked the idea of documenting the movement of myself. hannah jackson documented movement in her bok of 100 which was a really interesting idea and will asken documented the same but categorised more formally in the form of data cars which could be interpreted through a cypher. all very good ideas of documenting places and movement but i don't want to make something that has been produced before. i do like the idea of dot to dot but where could i take it. something that needs a bit of thought and some inspiration. i thought his one was interesting by joining up the dots in a different manner as followed below a different image can be achieved. try it.

Maybe you should try doing a dolt to dot without the give away lines and see if the effect is still the same?
