Dance is movement that is physical, cultural, social and psychological. It has always been an essential part of human life that is used to express meaning or to communicate a message. It is a part of celebrations and ceremonies and is a non-verbal expression that communicates with people. Dance as a discipline shares similar creative aspects with architecture. They both use and define space. Dance is movement of the human body through space over time and architectural spatial qualities are experienced by the human body through movement over time (Huang, 1991). “Time in dance establishes rhythm. Time in dance gives order to motion. Dance may be perceived as ephemeral at its time of performance, but it is through its making, conceptualization, process, medium, and product that it becomes temporal. Dance transcends time through experience and memory.” (Huang, 1991) “Time in architecture reveals spatial qualities. Time in architecture allows for generosity and growth. Architecture transcends time through the collection of memories that deposits itself in archetypal spaces.” (Huang, 1991) Although similar, dance and architecture seem to be in contrast with each other. Dance is about movement while architecture is more about being static. Dance has qualities of rhythm, dynamism, liveliness and can appeal to the emotional side of the observer. Both architecture and dance require movement, time and space (Huang, 1991). Both these disciplines have evolved over time and moved away from old concepts of space and form. Architecture now embraces dynamism and rhythm, while dance embraces the chaotic and the random (Christov-Bakargiev, 2013). By exploring how people move through the site over time and linking each space to the qualities associated with dance and also providing opportunities for different kinds of experiences will give a link between the two disciplines. Observing the creation of dance, and importing choreography into architecture allows for the creation of programme that, like dance, uses chance and unpredictability (Huang, 1991). This will allow the architecture to in-cooperate energy, intent, suspense and direction. ‘Architecture designed via space frees the building of formal considerations; it is through the negative element, the space, that the architectonic form becomes meaningful and defined (Chang, 1981). Dance can be private for the individual or can be done for an audience. Playing on the issues of transparency immerses the observer in the art of performance and these will be tested in the performing arts theatre and school. The project will explore informal performance spaces for the public. The performing arts theatre and school will provide an opportunity to employ spatial concepts used in dance to develop and design the architectural space. Through doing this, this can open a new dimension in architecture. This will in turn allow the performances to define the space. Elements of dance Rudolf von Laban was a very influential dance instructor and theorist of the twentieth century who believed that dance was not subordinate to music. He identified the principles inherent in movement which led to the development of a system known as the Laban Movement Analysis. He classified the characteristics of choreography into elements that can lend themselves to the process of designing buildings within their context. Elements such as shape, space, timing and dynamics can be played upon to open up the dialogue and breaking through traditional design process to provide richer experiences that enhance the performance. Shape is connected with how the body is flexible and responsive. It can be about straight, curved, jagged or angular lines. Levels, symmetry, asymmetry and scale are key concepts that will be incorporated in the design of the theatre and school. Space deals with the geometric forms of the body and these include horizontal and vertical patterns. Timing will be used to determine the rate at which people move through the site and the key experiences they will go through. Dynamics in dance is the quality of movement, uniqueness, richness and power. It brings together all the elements such as weight, time, space and flow to achieve it. The quality of the spaces in the theatre will play an important role and the transition between these spaces creating a unique experience in each space.

Varying the lines you use creates a more interesting drawing. This drawing uses straight lines, curved lines, thick lines, thin lines, hatching, cross-hatching, spirals, scribbles and zig-zags. Before reading this post click here for a list of art supplies and resources (and where you can buy them) to create your own wonderful line drawings. Below is the sphere pattern I used in the above video: Printable worksheets by the helpful art teacher. Understanding line, shape and form Here is the pencil sketch of my picture before I added the rhythmic lines. While this pencil sketch is 'good', it is not nearly as engaging as the finished picture. Look at the artwork of these famous illustrators to gain a better understanding of how you can use line in your own artwork: Looking at a picture and noticing the lines the artist used will enable you to copy any drawing accurately. Follow the directions in the worksheet below. This really works! Try this trick with any linear drawing, no matter how complex. You will surprise yourself. Artists use line to express volume Using the worksheet below, try adding different types of lines to transform flat shapes into three-dimensional forms Click on the link below to learn about the work of Carl Krull, an artist who uses line to express volume: http://hifructose.com/2014/10/01/on-view-carl-krulls-seismic-at-v1-gallery/ Drawings by Carl Krull Artists use line to express movement Some examples of illustrations that use lines to express movement by Arthur Rackham This illustration depicts a windy day. How do we know it is windy? Who Has Seen the Wind? Who has seen the wind? Neither I nor you. But when the leaves hang trembling, The wind is passing through. Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I. But when the trees bow down their heads, The wind is passing by. -Christina Georgina Rossetti If wind is invisible, as the poem says, how can we draw it? Can you use your knowledge of different types of lines to create a picture that shows a windy day? Here are some stock photographs I found on the Internet of windswept trees to get you started.

What type of lines would you use? How did Vincent Van Gogh Depict Movement in his famous painting, Starry Night? What type of lines did he use? How did Katsushika Hokusai use line to express movement?http://www.katsushikahokusai.org/ Free Printable Worksheet From Line And Form by Walter Crane Click on the link below to download this free ebook: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=ToJAAAAAYAAJ Practice using line to show movement by looking at this waterfall in slow motion: How would you draw the lines that show the falling water? What sort of lines would you draw to show the water splashing up? How many different types of lines do you see? How can repeating a line many times in a rhythmic pattern increase the feeling of movement in a picture? How can varying the thickness of a line and the distance between rhythmic lines help to express movement? Artists use line to show texture With just a few lines, Arthur Rackham creates the softness of Alice's hair, the bushy disheveled fur of the field mouse and even the folds of fabric on Alice's dress. In the Van Gogh drawings below, you can almost feel the textures of the landscape. Artists use line to depict space. Artists use thicker lines in the foreground and thinner, more delicate lines in the background, to create the illusion of distance in their pictures. Here are some more of Van Gogh's drawings The print below is the work of Jean Millet, Vincent Van Gogh's favorite artist. Notice how the lines in the background are lighter in value, thinner and more delicate, creating the illusion of three dimensional space. Here is a video of my cousin, Hiroko, teaching me about Japanese sumi brush painting. See how she uses line, shape, form,movement, texture and space to create a snake, dragon and octopus, with simple brush strokes. From The Helpful Art Teacher's Sketchbook Using Line To Show Movement Graphic pen on paper by Rachel Wintemberg Watercolor on paper by Rachel Wintemberg Artists use line to create rhythmic designs and patterns. This is particularly useful for designing fabrics or wallpaper. http://www.comunidademoda.com.br/editorial-optical-art-w-magazine-anos-60 If you repeat a line, or create a repeating pattern using a series of lines, your artwork will have a sense of rhythmic movement.
