Reflection on the 20 Lines

It was interesting to think about each individual line communicating a meaning or a sentiment simply through its color and and its "personality." I tried to mix it up and experiment with different colors, and the sentiments of the individual lines by varying the line length and the speed with which I drew these lines.  Even still afterwards it seemed that the lines all seemed rather similar.  I noticed the same thing about quite a few of the other papers on the wall.  A lot of the "B"'s seemed to be congregated around smooth, soft, and mostly thicker lines.  This was interesting because, for me too, these stood out the most usually on the papers - also, these larger, softer lines tended to have brighter, happier colors, which made them more noticeable as well.  The "F"'s seemed to follow the same general guidelines, being attracted to the brighter, more noticeable lines.  However, whereas the "B"s tended to be single direction lines, the "F"s seemed to be more like individual designs within themselves.  i put my "F" next what seemed to be a spider web.  The "NT"s were definitely the most diverse.  It seemed to me that the concept of what was actually traditional was uncertain, at least in regards to this scenario, and so everybody interpreted it differently.
