The Peak of an 'A':Part SP (for 'Starting Point')






 

For one of the tasks, we were meant to analyze parts of a letter. We could choose any part of any letter for our study. I chose the letter 'A' because 1) I spent waaaay too long staring at it that I never got to even the second letter, ie 'a' of the Aa Bb Cc patterned type sheet in front of me and 2) I was quite mesmerized with the various different different ways that two lines joined to form the 'peak' of the letter 'A'. So it was time to break it down. Literally.

I took the part of the 'A' between the cross bar and the peak and did a series of analysis diagrams on a bunch of different 'A's.
Tracing only the horizontal lines

Defining the area that I thought formed the peak

Outlining the shape of the triangle that formed the top part of the 'A'










so on and so forth....
