Class Notes from 2/18

• Points determine a line. Lines determine a plane. Planes determine a volume
• A line can be represented by a serious of points.
• A plane can be represented by a serious of lines.
• A volume can be represented by a serious of planes.
• Each plane is a cross section of the volume.
• To construct a volumetric form, we can think in terms of its cross sections.
• How the form can be sliced up to regular intervals, which will result in serial planes.
• Each serial plane can be considered as a unit form which may be used either in repetition or in gradation.
• Gradation refers to gradual variation of the unit form, and it can be used in three different ways
• Gradation of size but repetition of shape.
• Gradation of shape but repetition of size.
• Gradation of both shape and size.
