Points of Coincidence

Points of Coincidence are very helpful in plotting proportions and scaling works. Points of Coincidence can occur along the lines of Coincidence.

Line of Coincidence is where things converge along a line. They must contribute to the harmony of your composition. The lines can be arcs series of arcs, strait lines, or series of strait lines. Ellipses can also be considered lines of coincidence. In particular Ellipses  are helpful from above the sculpture composition! See Points of […]
