Line and shape in my environment

In this assignment we had to construct a line and a shape in our environment using unconventional materials. In class we watched an Art21 about the artist Andy Goldsworthy, who creates lines and shapes in nature using natural materials like stones and leaves. I found his work to be beautiful and inspiring. With his creations fresh in my mind I set out to create my own lines and shapes in my environment. I decided to do most of them in my house and a few outside with more of a city environment, to differ from Andy's work. I found that creating lines and shapes with unconventional materials challenging, and quickly realized photographing them was a whole seperate challege. Most of my pictures were taken when it was very bright and I had to take several shots with different settings just to get a few that were acceptable. I still have a few more photos to take which I think I will make night or evening shots.
This assignment made me look at line and shape differently than I had before. Creating lines that interupted the lines that already existed in the environment caused me to see new lines and shapes that I hadn't seen before.
