Look at these photographs: straight lines in them give us some great sensations, according to their position in space:






-HOW are those lines in each picture?
-horizontal? 
-skew? 
-vertical?

-Which SENSATION do they give us?
-balance?
-depth?
-height?
-stillness?
-movement?

Are these straight lines vertical?
And horizontal?

They´re SKEW lines, for not being
horizontal nor vertical.

Which sensations do they provide you?

Would you feel comfortable in that place?






Which are the most important sensations
you feel when watching those pictures?

-Height: something high.
-Depth: something deep.
-Balance: visual withstand.

-Simetry: one side equals the other.
