String
The line activity was interesting because we got to tie everything up in the room and tie each other too. I was tied to Chris and he was in a chair. Jake was tied to us too and so was Thiana. Jake and Thiana tied us up and i lost my string. Another chair was tied to us as well and it was falling on top of us. The string was going so many different ways, through our legs and around our heads. I was tied so tight that when the fire alarm went off Chris and i had to stay because we couldn't move. Untangling ourselves took forever. I thought it was a lot of fun because it was something different and we got to have fun. I think we should do more things like that.

1.) Which of the images a,b,c,or,d are lines?
I don't think that any of the examples are lines. They all look to contain mass and volume.
2.)Which of the images a,b,c,or d are shapes?
All of these images are shapes. They all expand and look as if they contain mass and look solid.

A line is a series of dots. A line dose not have mass,
4.) What is a shape?
A shape is a solid mass. It can be held and thouched. They are made up of lines that are conected.

Critique
When viewing this oil painting the first thing that jumps out to the eye is the left half of the painting which is black . In the center of the black area is a figure that appears to be a figure that is very small in size. It is lit from behind with yellow and orange tones. On the right side of the painting are two more figures much larger than the figure on the left. One is completely black and the other is yellow and brown. The right side of the painting is illuminated with yellow and white. This side is much brighter that the right side. The paitning moves from the top right corner and down to the center left where the smaller figure is . There are few sharp lines, most of them are concentrated in the upper right corner. The rest are wavy and organic.
The feeling I get when looking at this pictuer is dark and encloesed but in a warm way. The two figures on the rightright look like people. I think that the darker one in the forgrownd is Jesus. They look like they are ingaged in converstation. They both are sitting at a table looking at oneanother. The figure on the left is farther away and looks like a person as well. He seems to be working. It makes me feel like he is putting wood on a fire becuase it is illuminated with yellow and looks warm. He is not in the converstation with the other two men.
I really enjoy this pictuer overall. I like the colors and the placement of the figures. The colors are pleaseing to me and i like the dark and enclosed feeling i get from it. I think that the image is very clear and very well painted. The engagment on the one mans face, the only face that is visable is personal and emotional.
