TAOP Level 4.

Part Two: Elements of Design.
Project: Lines.
Exercise: Horizontal and vertical lines.

Part 2.

I did what it said on the box and submitted my blog before reading the second part.  As a punishment I went forth into Deal with a fixed standard lens and found four more pictures.

The first horizontal is of crab pots piled upon the beach.  Their pattern is of repeated horizontals.  I found a number of such patterns on my walk, including displayed fruit,  yarns of wool in a wool shop and rows of pies in the butchers.

The second horizontal is a mixture of natural and accidental.  It is of three fishing boats pulled up on to the beach.  There are natural horizontal lines formed by the actual horizon and the beach itself.  The three boats make a nice line across the picture and reinforce the natural lines. 

The first of the verticals is obvious and is based around the tall chimney on the second building.  This, however, is not the only vertical as the contrasting colours of the two main buildings also makes a vertical line which reinforces the line of the chimney.  Another straightened vertical.

The second picture attempts to demonstrate that vertical lines can be implied by colour alone and don't need the obvious presence of a tall chimney.
