TASK 2: LINE- Horizontal Line Exploration

Task 2: LINE- Horizontal /Biography 

As part of our on going investigation into drawing straight lines, this week we focused on the use of horizontal lines. After a much inspired visit to the Agnes Martin exhibition, I realised just how powerful some compositions look from using straight horizontal or vertical lines only.

Below are some of my horizontal line sketches, inspired by Agnes Martin's style. I re visited my 5 previous sites in which I drew my vertical lines, and focused this time on the horizon lines of each.

Location Plan


The first sketch was taken looking across the River Thames onto the oppostite horizon. I was an approximate 10 minute walk away from the Stockwell building.

Above is my horizontal line sketch, of the horizon across the River from me.
