The Element of Line
Philosophy
Line is used to create shapes and forms. One must understand the different
uses of line and the qualities of line to efficiently express one's self
and to convey ideas. People use line for planning, writing, and forming
compositions. Different types of lines have been found throughout history
and by studying the development and properties of line students can begin
to express themselves two-dimensionally using the artist's main tool:
line.
