Horizontal, Vertical and Diagonal lines
1. What is a reciprocal line and how is it used in, "Henri Cartier-Bresson. ROMANIA. 1975. In a train"? Two diagonals crossing each other to create a perpendicular cross is how reciprocal lines are used 2. In, "Henri Cartier-Bresson. USA. 1947. Cape Cod, Mass, Independence Day", how does the hand gesture add to the energy and movement of the diagonal lines? Her hand continues the movement and pattern of diagonal lines going towards the top right hand corner of the frame 3. In, "Rene Burri. BRAZIL. 1960. Rio de Janeiro. Ministry of Health", how do the diagonal lines create multiple directions for the eye to follow? The lines move in differing directions to accentuate the movement of the subjects |
Curved Lines
1. In, "Abbas / GREAT BRITAIN. Belfast. A wall crumbles down after having been set on fire, presumably by the IRA", how do the curved lives add to the suspense/tension of the image? The curved lines create the appearance of movement and dynamic scenery
2. In, "Henri Cartier-Bresson / France, 1932", How do the curved lines add movement to the frame? The curved lines create a pathway for the eye to follow the moving subject
3. In, "Eric Kim / Santa Monica, 2011", How are the curved lines also creating framing in the photograph? The curved lines lead directly to the subject
Leading Lines
1. In, "Josef Koudelka : CZECHOSLOVAKIA. 1963. Slovakia. Jarabina", how does the leading line direct your eye? The leading line directs the eye first to the main subject and then later to the background
2.In, "Henri Cartier-Bresson FRANCE. 1932. Marseille. The Allée du Prado", How does the change of camera angle effect the composition? The camera angle frames the subject between the lines of trees
3. In, "Constantine Manos. USA. 1988. Florida. Daytona Beach. “American Color”, describe three movements that the lines draw for eye? Horizontal lines lead the eye down to the subject along with horizontal lines that lead to the subject. The lines created by the shade create more simplicity in the photo
