Week Two-Responsive Exercise







The Artist of these works go in the order of the following list:

  1. Alberto Giacometti 
  2. Walt Disney Mickey Mouse Action Sketches
  3. Barnett Newman
  4. Wu Guanzhong
  5. Tawaraya Sotatsu 
  6. David Mach
  7. Michelangelo
  8. Jackson Pollock



This sculptural piece, creates a beautiful, simplified silhouette of the human body. Even though it is a sculpture of the full human, if you take away the thickness of the head and feet it looks like a mere line that branches out at the bottom.

Walt Disney uses excellent contour lines in this basic cartoon. The nature of its modest simplicity is rather quite admirable.

This piece represents the line really well, given the fact that it is composed of just two lines and a large portion of black space in the background.


This piece I really like. The stacking of the contour lines, gives the illusion of broad tree trunks. And the hatching lines add a nice, artistic touch.

This piece involves many calligraphic lines, prominent in Asian art. The lines create the contour of the muscles and outline of the creature's body.

In this sculpture, the artist creates three-dimensional lines, which jut out from the head. They are curved on the end, but remain to look as if they stick out straight.

This painting by Michelangelo demonstrates a great use of linear perspective. The perspective of the columns, create the implied lines which stretch along the side of the wall, originating in the back of the building.

This splattered/textured painting has many curved lines, which makes up the entire composition. The red splatters which are not developed into full lines act as a nice, vibrant contrast.
