HOGARTH CURVE DESIGN

The Hogarth curve is attributed to the famous artist William Hogarth (1697-1764) who called it the 'Line of Beauty' which follows the shape of the letter S.  The arrangement may be a line or massed line.  The angle of the S line may vary from an almost reclining line to an upright line arrangement.

'SYMMETRICAL TRIANGLE'

Symmetrical means that each side of your design, divided by the central stem, is equally balanced.  It does not mean that each side is identical but that they are similar. It means that the visual weight on each side is approximately equal. This gives the impression of solidity and formality.

'ASYMMETRICAL TRIANGLE'

Asymmetrical Arrangement is defined by equal weight on either side of an imaginary axis but placed differently. A straight stick or pencil held vertically in the centre defining the axis can be used to check this.

LET'S MAKE IT ABSTRACT'

  Instructor Stan Mitchell

 

(a) Abstract is a Modern arrangement in which attention is focused on the entire design.   It does not have a focal point but several points of interest.  Space is used as an integral part of the design.  Bold strong areas of colour or shape creates impact.  Metals, plastics or other found objects together with plant material may be used, but the emphasis should be on plant material.  if a container is used it must be of modern concept.

 

(b) Sculptural Abstract.  The emphasis of Sculptural Abstract should be on the use of form and created space. Character material with line, colour, pattern and texture suggesting movement and volume are used to create a total work of art of Abstract character.  A container if used must be part of the design and not seen as a separate unit in the Sculpture.
