The description of right lines and circles, upon which geometry is founded, belongs to mechanics. Geometry does not teach us to draw these lines, but requires them to be drawn.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Drawing teaches you to look at things properly and to understand form and structure.
Geometry is not true, it is advantageous.
I am coming more and more to the conviction that the necessity of our geometry cannot be demonstrated, at least neither by, nor for, the human intellect.
The line that describes the beautiful is elliptical. It has simplicity and constant change. It cannot be described by a compass, and it changes direction at every one of its points.
And since geometry is the right foundation of all painting, I have decided to teach its rudiments and principles to all youngsters eager for art.
One geometry cannot be more true than another; it can only be more convenient. Geometry is not true, it is advantageous.
Plane geometry is sort of the key course where you learn about proving things and abstraction.
An illustration is a visual editorial - it's just as nuanced. Everything that goes into it is a call you make: every color, every line weight, every angle.
You can't criticize geometry. It's never wrong.
Right angles don't attract me. Nor straight, hard and inflexible lines created by man.
