Aimone: Visual Elements and a HUGE thanks!

First: THANK YOU to Katherine McNeese for purchasing A Sense of Place: The Tree (see previous posts) on the first day of the FiberArts for A Cause Reverse Auction at the premium Gold Donor level. I am so totally blown away! Thanks to her generosity in purchasing my quilt and one by Scott Murkin, the FFAC has raised nearly $3000 for cancer research already. I just hoped my quilt would sell, let alone on the first day! WOW. Thanks to Virginia for giving us all this opportunity, and to Katherine for her generosity in including my quilt in her collection.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled blogging!

In this excerpt from Aimone’s “Design!” book, he discusses Visual Elements:

“Think of visual elements as the raw materials you use in design. As you select and position them in a design space, they join with others to form a group or community of elements that relate to one another. These relationships create your finished design. Visual elements fall roughly into five categories: line, mark, shape or form, and color.” )p. 32

and

“A line is the recorded movement of a dot on its journey from one point to another.” p. 33

More on line in the next post from this book……

    I am not surprised that it sold so fast. It is beautiful. There is so much to think about at the same time in design. Sigh.
