Week 3 Line and Shape

Line and Shape seemed so elementary. Until last week when I was reading in the chapters. Line is very complicated in a non visual way. We see lines everywhere even invisible ones but usually i don't stop and think, "Wow it's a line." Till now that is. I see the lines in everything from flat to 3 dimensional objects and even allow them to direct my eye in print to see if there is something there that is implied. There are thick lines, thin lines, but it is just a construct of the way we see things. Also, I have been paying more attention to the emotion of the lines. Shape, another design element that we learn as children. Only there are shapes that are not so uniform. A shape is simply an outline of an object formed by a line. Shape is much deeper than I ever imagined such as Thomas Nozkowski's work. It is much like the child's eye of shape check one out here http://www.pacewildenstein.com/Exhibitions/ViewExhibitionWork.aspx?artist=ThomasNozkowski&title=Untitled(P-27)&type=Work&guid=811f148c-511d-4b93-912c-d5a56167ff51 I stumble apon his work when looking up shape artists. It is very um, what's the word. I'm not sure you can come up with one i assume.
