dc.description.abstractDYNAMICS OF CONCENTRIC LINES IN PAINTING is an experiment aimed at utilizing concentric lines in developing a dynamic concept, through the adaptation of waves and movement. The study was motivated by the need to create painting in clear lines. Circles and spirals played major roles in the articulation of the concept of concentric lines in painting. Through the synthesis and subjective analysis of these natural phenomena (circles and spirals), the concept was visualized as circles, arcs, curves, spirals, curvilinear lines and concentric circles. Other linear elements like straight and zig-zag lines were rarely used since the study was focused on curvatures and circles. Line touches on most aspects of our life. As such it is a generally known phenomenon in the sense that when a line is mentioned or drawn, the meaning is easily deduced by the audience. This research sought to develop a relatively new area of study, for painters, by drawing from various aspects of line and certain known artistic concept and principles. The survey for the research was based on a systematic inquiry into literature and some paintings of masters, that possess ideas related to the dynamics of concentric lines in painting. Methodically, data was collected through study sketches of arranged objects, posed models and personal contact with (he landscape area of interest. Data analysis involved representational and iconogmphie approach. The representational approach helped the researcher in locating sources of concentric lines and examining their possibilities in creating compositions. The Iconogmphie approach helped in analysing meaning and symbolism of the lines. The resultant study sketches were presented in a comprehensive figures for easy assessment. Studio experiment was the last stage. The developmental process of the studio experiment was grouped in to Six categories such as (i) Spiral /Circular compositions, (ii) Curvilinear Lines and Figures (iii) Concentric Circles and vi Figures (iv) Concentric Lines and Figures (v) Landscape Transformation and (vi) Figural Infusion. The paintings emerging from these categories were shown in various plates and exhibited as a prerequisite IbrM.F.A. It was observed that line, has unlimited possibilities in painting. With the development in various cultures, tradition, certain concepts and principles, there are more to be expected in lin VIIen_US
