Art lesson 2: The Fundamentals of Art: Line

What is a Line?

A line is a basic element of design and art that connects two points on a two-dimensional plane. To create a line, you first mark two points in space and then connect them. Lines can vary in form, including being straight or curved, depending on the number and arrangement of points they pass through.

Types of Lines in Visual Hierarchy:

1. Vertical Lines
   Represent strength, stability, and structure. They guide the viewer's eye upward or downward.

2. Horizontal Lines
   Suggest calmness, rest, and balance. They direct the eye from left to right or vice versa.

3. Diagonal Lines
   Convey movement, energy, and dynamism. They create a sense of action or tension.
