Line Image Bank

This image represents horizontal lines, horizontal lines imply tranquillity, peace and harmony. This represents these things because it shows someone lying or sitting still which can represent peace as they are staying still. Also, the light that is reflecting onto the legs isn't portraying harsh lines which could also represent tranquillity. This image inspires my work because I think the way the shadows reflect onto the girl is a good idea as it almost shows us that humans and nature are linked together. This links to the lines as it shows horizontal lines forming across her legs.

This photograph shows vertical lines, vertical lines imply power and strength. The image represents these qualities because the pillars have overpowered the person walking by. She is almost non-existent as she blends in with the pillars. This has inspired my work because it shows that the man-made things has ultimate strength and almost stops the girl from escaping the pillars shadows. This image links to the line subject because the pillars are vertical lines, but also the shadows can also be seen to represent horizontal lines on the floor.

This image uses curved and S shaped lines, curved lines or S shaped lines imply quiet, calm and sensual feelings. This image shows these qualities because although we see a road we don't see any cars, this creates a quiet atmosphere because we think about how silent the place would be. Also, the fact that the road is in the middle of nowhere creates these feeling because we see that nothing is going on in the picture. This links to the line image because the road is in the shape of an S. It has inspired my work because the first impression of something we have may not be the same impression we have when we look deeper into the image.

This image uses converging lines, converging lines imply depth, scale and distance. This image links to these qualities because it takes the picture in a way that we are unclear of how tall the trees are and if they will ever end. It links in with the line subject because the trees are so tall that the way we look at them it is almost as if at the end they all come together. This has inspired my work because it has helped me realise that if you take a picture of something but at a different angle you can create depth, scale and distance.

This image represents diagonal lines, diagonal lines imply movement, action and change. This picture represents these qualities because where the diagonal lines meet it forms an arrow. The arrow shape formed can be linked to action and direction. This image links to the line subject because it has used diagonal lines. The image has influenced my work because it shows how to take pictures at different angles to create the lines I am looking for.
