Unit 2: Lesson 4
Visual languageActivity 1: Lines
Part A: How is line used to convey meaning and emotion within the frame below? Can you identify the primary direction of lines that direct your eyes to different parts of the frame?
Part B: On a blank sheet of paper write down two different feelings that you’ve had recently (one at the bottom left, and the other at the bottom right). Visually represent the feeling on the left as a line traveling across the paper to the right. Then transform the line as it starts to take on characteristics of the feeling on the right. For example:
Part C: Create a character with just one line and give it a name and short description. Try creating additional characters using multiple lines.

PART A: As someone in the comments has already said, I think the mountains symbolize that Carl is separate from Russel and Doug. Where the waterfall is acts as a barrier. If you look at Russel and Doug, you notice that they are bright and happy, where as Carl is sad and lonely. The separation also signifies that he is having trouble making friends.(34 votes)

- Птица - как вопросительный знак- "неизвестность, что же будет дальше", гора - прямая линия- спокойствие, заканчивается убедительно прямоугольником - фигурой старика-"всё будет ок"
Что и подтверждается центральными фигурами- кругами - радость доброта
Первое- птица с её клювом- указывает в направлении старика, что подчеркнуто линией горы.
Старик, в свою очередь, направляет нас к двум центральным фигурам- сначала к мальчику и от него к собаке. и эта линия не заканчивается, так как кроме взгляда глаза в глаза, фигуры прикасаются руками/ лапами.(7 votes) - I haven't watched the movie is it good?(5 votes)
