Visual characteristics of curves

The visual characteristics of the curve are as follows:

The visual impression of the curve is: soft, smooth, undulating, swinging, full, euphemistic and so on. Curves usually give people a feeling of beauty, elegance, romance and change. When used in photographic composition, it not only has a sense of jumping and intensity, but also increases the aesthetic feeling of the picture.

Curves include regular curves and irregular curves. When we use curve composition, we should also combine other ways to complete the composition, such as horizontal and vertical division, diagonal division and so on. The speed direction of an object moving on a curve is always changing, because the speed is a vector, and the change of speed not only refers to the change of speed, but also includes the change of direction, so the curve motion is variable-speed motion.

Curve is flexible, soft and changeable, and its continuity, variability, mystery and artistic orientation play an important role in artistic treatment in all parts of landscape design. Through the in-depth analysis of curve characteristics, it can be applied to landscape design more vividly and concretely, which can not only improve the artistic treatment of landscape design, but also create different artistic conceptions needed by landscape.

Typical S-shaped composition, like the partial connection of two circles, has a sense of agility, elegance and swing. There are also some broken-line compositions, although not S-shaped, which are close to the characteristics of S-shaped compositions, but have relatively weak flexibility and have most of the same characteristics of S-shaped materials.

In a word, curve composition is a common composition method for photographers, and there are many excellent works. As long as the material is carefully explored and reasonably applied when shooting, novices can also shoot admirable works.
