Lines and Patterns

Submitted by punman

Question:

I noticed your book did not include assignments on lines nor on patterns. Are these elements you would suggest doing assignments on as well or did you feel that they fell under some other categories already or were less important? Thanks for answering questions in the past. I have been doing photography as a hobby for 40 years and your book has given me a fresh outlook on the way we see things.

Answer:

This is interesting. You could make up assignments using lines and patterns, but these seem to be less basic elements of form than those that we use. You should try them out and see how they work.The essential point of the assignments is that whatever the assignment is, it triggers seeing, rather than thinking.
