about line

This week we will be talking about and reading about line. Your assignment is to draw an image in graphite or ink, or take a black and white photograph in which line is the primary visual element. This can be any type of line described in our text, (outline, contour, implied, expressive, grid, etc.) This is about how YOU see line. In your post you also need to include two sentences answering the following…

1. How is line the primary visual element in the image? (i.e. how is line functioning in the image?)

2. What kind of line is being used? (examples of different kinds of line are in your text).

Double check to make sure your image is embedded and posted correctly. Also make sure your image is in black and white only. Points will be deducted if it isn\’t. An example would be..
1. This is an image of the oak trees in my neighborhood. Line is the primary element because the branches create a matrix of lines as they move towards the center of the image. There isn\’t much else to garner our attention except for the few leaves that are left on the trees.

2. The lines are expressive as they have a high degree of contrast against the sky and are full of dynamic angles and varying thicknesses, (line weight). They also could be autographic as they are lines that are uniquely created by oaks. Other types of trees do not have the same branch structure.

Vice Presidential Debate

10/4 – Watch Vice
Presidential Debate

Presidential/Vice Presidential Debates Assignments
Review the material contained in the Guide for Presidential Debates distributed in class and watch the
vice presidential debate and all three (3) presidential debates.
In a series of papers, each no less than two (2) pages in length, tell me who “won” the debate and why.
Do not tell me what you think I want to hear. Tell me what you think and lead me through the process
that brought you to that conclusion. In your analysis, you should look at the candidates speaking style,
how they answered the moderator’s questions (whether they answered the moderator’s questions for the
matter), the difficulty level of the questions, who had a better command of the “facts”, how much sniping
went on, what was the tone of the discourse, etc.

“How do Masculinity and Capitalism intersect in Death of a Salesman”.

professor told us some hints so I will tell you that.
The topic of this essay will be Masculinity and Capitalism in Death of a Salesman. So we need to conect Masculinity and Capitalism with some characters in this book or pick up some quote and conect with these keywords to analyze and discuss about it.
So the question will be something like “How do Masculinity and Capitalism intersect in Death of a Salesman” “Discuss the significance of Masculinity and Capitalism in Death of a Salesman (such as being a man or how men taught to be a men in hierarchical capitalistic society)” “Analyze the way Masculinity and Capitalism intersects in Death of a Salesman”
Since professor mentioned about the relationship between father(willy, main character) and son, family, men and women, reality and illusion, I guess I need to connect Masculinity and Capitalism with these.

The essay needs to be consisted of 7 to 8 paragraphs. And thesis statement should be something arguable
