Four annotated online pictures:

The image above caught my attention immediately. First of all, the colour creates an eyecatching image because the blue cloudy sky bounces off of the pink groups of flowers in the fields. I feel that pink and blue work well together in an image. The lines inbetween each patch of flowers is defined, clear and creative in how they all join together in the distance. The windmill is also a great addition to this picture because there are lines amongst this structure which cross over one another, creating a different feel of 'lines'. 

This black and white picture was another image that covered the topic 'lines' very effectively. The lines of the staircases all spiral down, creating with it a curved line aswell as a continous pattern of straight poles. If you also study the picture further you will notice different styles and shapes of lines carved into the pavement or perhaps made out of slabs; these all make up lines in a creative fashion. This whole image is filled with a variety of lines which I found to be inventive. 



This picture caught my attention because I found it rather clever that these chairs are not literally lines, but when they're all lined up together they create a row of lines. The gap in the back of the chairs are also in pattern with eachother and create an ongoing line of smaller lines. The legs of the chairs are even in pattern with eachother so when you think about it, this picture is filled with chairs, but also brimming with lines.



This final picture capitvated me because as soon as I saw it I noticed that it was a line of people, but also thought "outsider"; the outsider being the person in the red converse. It can be interpreted however you want it to be, but for me I felt that this image exhaled a deeper meaning and not only a 'line' of people. It's a line of people precisely, but also a picture that, in my opinion, portrays how it doesn't matter if you're not the same as everyone else, you're still part of something and you matter. This picture wouldn't be as creative without the person in the red converse, and the line could also go on forever, different people joining along the way; it would always be a picture that demonstrates a line no matter who was involved to create it. 

My definition of 'line': An ongoing mark that can advance in any direction.
