Best Square Design

I think this design is the best square in the class for a number of reasons. One reason is because it is visually stimulating. The zigzag motion of the lines forces the eye to travel across the page diagonally. Because the diagonal lines go up to the edges of the square the viewer feels compelled to follow these lines, thus looking at the entire page. The use of lines this way also forces the viewer to continue looking at the image longer. Another reason it is successful is because the point of the project was to explore lines and this line embodies many qualities that a line can have. The line’s diagonal, zigzag shape forces one to look directionally.  The line has different shapes within it, sometimes thin, sometimes thick. It also has different values because some points are much darker than others.  Lastly, the manner in which the artist shaded the lines gives them an interesting texture.  For these reasons I think this drawing is not only successful or good, but the best in the class.
