At first, I thought lines and shapes were easily distinguishable, but after a while I found the boundaries between them to blur. Some very thick lines might be considered shapes and some thinner, slinky shapes might be considered lines. I find it hard to distinguish the difference. In terms of the string project, I thought it seemed silly in the beginning, but it turned out to be a pretty arduous assingment. At first, I was just concerned with covering the greatest amount of space with the string, but I later decided to focus my attention on a particular chair. I thought about how I could make it look "pretty", but it turned out to be a chaotic mess. This was definately something I've never done in class before and I apprecaite novelty, so it wasn't a bad time, even the unwrapping. If I had to do it again, I would have put more planning into it so that it would be easier to unwrap. If I had a lengthy amount of free time, it would be nice to map out a design with the string as well. This assignment did make me think about the relationship b/w line and shape b/c many shapes and lines were made with the intertwining string.
