what is a line?

"A connected series of events, actions, or developments."

Tree rings could be interesting to focus on, upon research i found that tree rings can tell us not only the age of the tree but also the past climates, due to the width of each tree ring, there are also other occurring factors that can supply more information.

What is a line?

"A formation of people, objects or things on besides/behind the other."

What is a line

DESCRIPTION—Believed to be the most geometrically complex and aesthetically beautiful structure in mathematics, the 4_21 polytope is the algebraic form at the centre
of a universal theory of everything. Originally described in the late 19th century, 4_21 models all interactions and transformations between known and postulated sub-atomic particles. It is the 21st century equivalent of the proto-scientific art of alchemy – where the transmutation of elements was the most elusive mystery of the universe. The theory is an attempt to reconcile one of the fundamental unsolved problems in physics: unify quantum physics and gravitation in hopes of ultimately explaining the fabric of the universe.

The Brief
Using the manipulation of line, frame, format, media, and colour you are to produce a body of work that visually investigates one of the following definitions of the word: "line".

"A formation of people, objects or things on besides/behind the other."
"A connected series of events, actions, or developments."
"The descendents of one individual."
"A mark indicating position, connection, or boundaries."

Considerations
You will need to develop, document, and catalogue a range of investigative and experimental approaches in response to the quote you have chosen. You will also need to document the application and evaluation of media.

How do you construct a line?
Draw, trace, add/remove, layer, dot, drag...

What media do you use?
Traditional drawing materials, photography, etc...?

What format are you working to?
Is your frame constant, or changing?

Background
One of the numerous definitions of drawing is the act of defining the outlines of an object against a background. Using a wide variety of tools and techniques. It generally involves making/applying marks to a surface.

Mandatory Requirements
The work presented must represent the time given to complete this brief. You will need to set time aside to draw regularly. There is no point rushing this at the end of the module, time management is essential. Your investigation should become part of your everyday life and developing design practice.

Deliverables
A set of notebooks/sketchbooks and drawings/images in an organised, rational, and considered format.
