Launching the Imagination: Pages 2-10

The emphasis of this first section was on the design element of the line. It discusses all types of lines including actual lines, calligraphic lines, organizational lines, and implied lines. The part that I found the most interesting was on page 6 in figures 1.14A and B. In figure A it shows the 1604 painting "The Deposition" and figure B shows a versions which is drawn in contour lines. Figure B brings to light, just how much of the painting is constructed through implied lines which was very enlightening.
