- 9. Keith Haring “Haring was able to push his own youthful impulses toward a singular kind of graphic expression based on the primacy of the line.”
- 13. Victor Ekpuk “When lines alone are what I have to use, the quality and integrity of the lines, as well as design, become paramount to the composition.”
- 14. Nsibidi
- 17. Element of Design: • LINE – the path of a moving point – The basic element of all design – Has unlimited forms DESCRIPTIVE | IMPLIED | EXPRESSIVE
- 21. Descriptive Lines • help us understand what we are seeing. OUTLINES – most basic kind of descriptive line, surrounds a shape CONTOUR LINES – define the outer edges of shapes but vary in thickness and darkness, define the edges of shapes within a form and give a greater sense of depth to the object CROSSHATCHING – hatching lines that cross to make a more solid shadow
- 22. Implied Lines • Lines that suggest an edge rather than clearly defining one
- 23. Expressive Lines • Lines that send us messages about what the artist wants his or her work to make us feel ABSTRACT – used to express rather than describe
- 24. Physical Properties • Direction: vertical, horizontal, diagonal • Type: curved, angular, straight (which could include parallel or converging lines) • Measure: the length and width of a line • Character: differs depending on the medium used to make the line (a line made with a brush is different than a pencil or pen)
- 25. Emotional Qualities • Vertical: formal and suggest poise, balance and support • Horizontal: quiet and calm, used to represent horizons • Spiral: suggest infinity • Curved: suggest restfulness and are graceful • Angular/zig-zag: restless, suggesting excitement or confusion • Diagonal: produce tension and suggest movement and action | Contrast and dominate attention because not parallel with edge of picture • Parallel: suggest speed | can emphasize textural or pattern aspect
- 26. PROJECT • Create a drawing based on the aspects of LINE and the use of line to create symbols • Focus on your IDENTITY • Include 10 variations of line • Include your name or favorite quote • Recreate on 18X24 paper in pencil (once complete design will go over with Sharpie)

- Write down one word that you think describes all of these items. What do they all have in common?
- When you see these two people, what are some things that you think represent their identity? What assumptions do you make based on this image? What kind of car do you think they drive? Cell phone? Computer? Where do they shop? What do they do in their spare time?
- Now when you see this picture, what assumptions can you make about his identity?
- Who can tell me a definition of identity? (the condition of being oneself or itself, and not another | condition or character as to who a person or what a thing is | the state or fact of being the same one as described | the sense of self, providing sameness and continuity in personality over time) What are some various types of identity? (personal identity, community identity, political identity, etc.) Within these various types, what are some factors that are involved in depicting an identity, such as symbols of identity? (car, clothes, eye and hair color, jewelry, neighborhood, etc.) There are various types of identity and factors that are involved within determining identity. What are some specific things that identify you as a student? What about an artist? As a member of the community? What are some words that you would use to describe yourself in terms of identity?
- All of the images we discussed had some sort of symbolic meaning behind them. Artists often use symbols to depict meaning and identity within their work as well. Victor Ekpuk and Keith Haring are two artists who use symbols as a form of expressing their emotions and identity.
- Poster 1985 Anti-apartheid demo Apartheid, social and political policy of racial segregation and discrimination enforced by white minority governments in South Africa from 1948 to 1994. The term apartheid (from the Afrikaans word for "apartness") was coined in the 1930s and used as a political slogan of the National Party in the early 1940s, but the policy itself extends back to the beginning of white settlement in South Africa in 1652. After the primarily Afrikaner Nationalists came to power in 1948, the social custom of apartheid was systematized under law. The implementation of the policy, later referred to as "separate development," was made possible by the Population Registration Act of 1950, which put all South Africans into three racial categories: Bantu (black African), white, or Coloured (of mixed race). A fourth category, Asian (Indians and Pakistanis), was added later. The system of apartheid was enforced by a series of laws passed in the 1950s: the Group Areas Act of 1950 assigned races to different residential and business sections in urban areas, and the Land Acts of 1954 and 1955 restricted nonwhite residence to specific areas. These laws further restricted the already limited right of black Africans to own land, entrenching the white minority's control of over 80 percent of South African land. In addition, other laws prohibited most social contacts between the races; enforced the segregation of public facilities and the separation of educational standards; created race-specific job categories; restricted the powers of nonwhite unions; and curbed nonwhite participation in government. The Bantu Authorities Act of 1951 and the Promotion of Bantu Self-Government Act of 1959 furthered these divisions between the races by creating ten African "homelands" administered by what were supposed to be reestablished "tribal" organizations. The Bantu Homelands Citizenship Act of 1970 made every black South African a citizen of one of the homelands, effectively excluding blacks from South African politics. Most of the homelands, lacking natural resources, were not economically viable and, being both small and fragmented, lacked the autonomy of independent states. Though the implementation and enforcement of apartheid was accompanied by tremendous suppression of opposition, continual resistance to apartheid existed within South Africa. A number of black political groups, often supported by sympathetic whites, opposed apartheid using a variety of tactics, including violence, strikes, demonstrations, and sabotage - strategies that often met with severe reprisals by the government. Apartheid was also denounced by the international community: in 1961 South Africa was forced to withdraw from the British Commonwealth by member states who were critical of the apartheid system, and in 1985 the governments of the United States and Great Britain imposed selective economic sanctions on South Africa in protest of its racial policy. As antiapartheid pressure mounted within and outside South Africa, the South African government, led by President F. W. de Klerk, began to dismantle the apartheid system in the early 1990s. The year 1990 brought a National Party government dedicated to reform and also saw the legalization of formerly banned black congresses and the release of imprisoned black leaders. In 1994 the country's constitution was rewritten and free general elections were held for the first time in its history, and with Nelson Mandela's election as South Africa's first black president, the last vestiges of the apartheid system were finally outlawed.

- We are the Youth – mural project, Philadelphia He did lots of murals in some of the “hardest hit” inner cities of America. He did more than 27 mural projects where the kids actually worked alongside with him. His inspiration partly came from childhood scribbles, as you can tell from the simplicity in his designs.

- Victor Ekpuk on Nsibidi: Nsibidi is an ancient form of sacred communication among the male secret societies of the Ibibio, Efik, Ejagham and Igbo peoples of southeastern Nigeria. It uses mime, speech, and placement of objects and graphic symbols that represent concepts. Being secret codes of communication, their meanings were revealed only to initiates. Some aspects of these signs are secularized and used for public notices and record keeping. The graphic aspect of Nsibidi thus becomes one of Africa’s indigenous writing systems. Not being a member of any of the societies that use nsibidi, I only understand as much as I am allowed to, which is not a lot. However, I was born into a culture where nsibidi is an open secret. As a child I have often watched nsibidi being performed among members of Ekpe and Ekpo secret societies. During ceremonial rites of passage, some nsibidi signs were painted as decorations on the bodies of maidens. I also learned to steer clear of sacred and restricted spaces that were marked with nsibidi objects. I could compare this to the yellow police tape at crime scenes or restricted areas in the western societies. Though my limited knowledge of nsibidi signs today is from memory of observations and documented anthropological archives, what I understand has immensely inspired the direction my work has taken for the past two decades that I have been a professional visual artist. My contact with nsibidi has inspired me to use the essence of this ancient art form to express my contemporary experience. http://www.seedsandfruit.com/2009/09/victor-ekpuk-artist/
- Scapegoat 2005 Look at the images all around. You can see the man chasing the animal with various hunting gear. But the image in the center shows the end result. Victor Ekpuk also chooses his colors carefully in his work. He rarely uses color at all, but when he does, he chooses it based on the impact it will have on the overall piece. The yellow brings the attention even more to the middle and to what will most likely be dinner for these people.
