Gr 9: Real vs. Implied, Geometric vs. Organic

Today we discussed the element of line in terms of its relationship to the element of shape, and developed an understanding of the difference between real and implied lines. Further to our lesson was an appreciation of what constitutes geometric (lines and shapes), and organic (lines and shapes).

BLOG: Be sure to make notes (written and visual where appropriate) in your blog about the following:
a) What do we mean by elements in art? Explain.
b)  How line and shape are related;
c) How shape and form are related;
d) Define and provide visual examples of real and implied lines;
e) Define and provide visual examples of geometric and organic lines/shapes, including the idea that organic shapes are typically found in nature (with some exceptions), and geometric shapes are typically human made (with some exceptions). Be sure to cite a couple of examples of the exceptions!!
