Mariel took photos during a field trip to a skate park to capture various lines and shapes within the park. Some photos focused on the lines and structures of the skate park itself, while others aimed to highlight people's movements or use frames like trees or arms to draw attention to certain lines and contours. Mariel experimented with editing apps to make colors or subjects pop and blur or focus different elements to draw the eye toward intended lines and shapes. The photos aimed to showcase the linear features and geometry of the skate park environment.

MONTALES
GCT: SKATE PARK FIELD
TRIP LOOKING FOR LINES

2. In this picture I
tried to capture
the squiggly
line at the
bottom of the
stairs to show
that not all
lines are
straight at the
skate park.

3. This is a
picture I had
edited in Aviary
using splash. I
wanted the
color of their
clothes really
pop out of the
scene.

4. I also edited
this in Aviary. I
wanted Katie
and her
sweater to be
in focus and
the lines in the
big hole of the
skate park to
be blurry, but
still visible.

5. As you can see,
I really like it
when the
people and
clothes pop out
of the picture.
But I also tried
to capture the
shape of the
skate park. I
really like how
the scratches
all over the
side are still
visible in the
picture.

6. In this picture I
tried to show
the line that
goes across the
picture and
into the big
hole.

7. In this picture I
tried to take a
picture of
Bethel through
a trashcan.

8. For this one, I
used Mr.
Harbeck’s arm
as a frame to
capture a part
of the big hold
in the skate
park and the
lines on the
building in the
distance.

9. I used the tree
as sort of a
frame in this
picture. In the
distance I tried
to capture the
side of the
skate park.

10. In this picture I
tried to capture
my friend’s
movements in
the big hole of
the skate park.
You can also
see the lines
on the ground.

11. For this
picture, I was
trying to
capture Perry’s
movements as
he was rolling
down. You can
also see the
stairs in the
backround.
