Inkspots Guild Meeting

Magic Lines

Evening Presentation with Barbara Close

Friday, March 8, 2024

7:00pm-8:30pm

Location: Zoom

Lines are in every mark we make. It may be thick or thin, up or down, side to side...but everywhere we look there are lines. Letters become lines. Images are lines in various thicknesses. Think about it - we see lines everyday - in design, music, industrial, fabrics, electrical, mathematics, packaging, artwork, lettering...it can go on and on.

Albert Einstein said that "Play is the highest form of Research." We should all try it more! Have fun creating those lines. I know, I know, some of you are left-brainers and haven't really explored the right side very much. You say it's "hard" or "I'm not creative"...I say, "Oh yes you are! Everyone is creative!"
